The UNEXPECTED Rise of Jonas Vingegaard

Jonas Vingegaard has taken the world of cycling by storm. Winning the Tour de France in 2022, can he do it again in 2023? This is part 1 of our 2 part documentary series on who Jonas Vingegaard is, what makes him special and what the behind the scenes looks like.
He's recently won Criterium du Dauphine and he looks to be a beast on the climbs, time trials and with the strength of Jumbo Visma, Wout van Aert, Sep Kuss and more behind him. Can he do it?

The whole fish factory story is often misrepresented as "the kid from the fish factory who became a cyclist". But Vingegaard has actually completed education equivalent to British A Levels and only worked at the fish factory because his cycling team put him there in order to create some structure in his life. He'd work in the mornings and then train the rest of the day.

[@ashduwitt9899]

Exactly. Almost every single video I've seen says the same thing as if he went from zero to hero lol

[@justinbergmans36]

Mad respect for Mr. Vinngegaard. It’s great to have different background experiences

Amazing! Definitely one of the best documentaries about Jonas that I've seen. Hopefully a lot of people are going to find this during the Tour!

Just a little tip for english speakers: Try say "Wing a gore" or even better "Ving a gore". If you enter the english (almost non)sentence "Wing a gore" in Google Translate: English to Whatever Language and press the "speaker symbol" button 🔉in the English column, the pronunciation is almost right. The (totally non)sentence "Ving a gore" gets even closer. Compare/test with Danish in the left column but writing his actual name "Vingegaard" and press the "speaker symbol" button 🔉to hear the "correct" (computerized) pronunciation.😄 Note! If I google "Google Search" I get a small interface which uses an American English accent which is not as close as the UK English I get on the Googles Translate page. Think it's because I set my English preference to UK english somewhere.

[@slowsfangoslowsfango127]

the reason why jonas was so behind in the race was because he waited multiple times on roglic when he crashed but he still managed to be right behind pogacar

[@cokebottles6919]

I like both Jonas and Pog and don't have a strong preference. Part of me feels like Pog is generally the strongest individual and I want to root for him because Jonas probably has the best team in the world helping him... but it's hard not to like Jonas.

[@frederikmangor5527]

yeah i think Pog is overall the best, but Jonas is not far behind and has a better team to help him overall

[@jcs7934]

That ending was beautiful.

[@mathildejensen3285]

Vingegaard is loved in Denmark because he is a stand up guy and humble. Yes, the concept of Janteloven is real in Denmark, but its not so rigid perceived that the dogma give reason to believe. Its more about checking people's ego. People who comes of as high and mighty and think their shit dont stink is not held in high regard in Denmark. We tend to tear people down who are a little to full of them selves. 😊😊😊

[@sleepdeprived9181]

I notice Jonas’ natural hunchback helps him become more aero. Like a turtle shell on a bike

Saying he did his job well as a domestique in the 2020 Vuelta for Roglic is underplaying it a fair bit. His performance that year is widely regarded as that of a super domestique; a performance that led several Danish pundits, biased as they are, to predict he'd be a GT factor in the future. Often out-riding Sepp Kuss, It was a mini break out for him that showed his super strength.

[@TrueSportsLore]

That's a fair point

[@drydryb0nesshorts]

3 weeks after this video was uploaded and he's 7 minutes up on Pogacar about to win his 2nd tour de France

[@neptune5728]

Janteloven is somehow the strict opposite of the American position. By the way, not only Danish, but a manifestation of overall Scandinavian values. Many would say that this law is limiting, but somehow it helps to combine efforts together as a group. And in this group you are free to be left or right, as long as the main goal is to lift together in mutual respect. Since some Americans don't understand this idea, they think the social democratic countries are communist areas :)

[@bacchus2726]

The fish factory work was suggested to him for a few hours a day to make a good structure getting up early and then exercise all afternoon. Now everyone talks about him as a dream come true for a poor factory worker...... How silly

[@larshansen4557]

Is that a problem ??

[@WhaJMc]

​@@larshansen4557it is not a problem at all. Jonas is still an amazing athlete. However what Bacchus is saying is right. The only reason Jonas was a fish factory worker was it suited his cycle training. I think his cycle team are the ones that got him the job. So really Jonas is a cyclist who also worked in a fish factory rather than a fish factory worker who became a cyclist.

[@Nordic_Scandinavia]

He worked at the fish factory from 6-12 AM.

This guy is not from Silkeborg, he's from a very very small town in Thy, North Jutland.
