La Vuelta is also not free from the planting and handling of the Jumbo Visma
The image of Dylan Van Baarle and Jonas Vingegaard ordering the Vuelta peloton to stop on Sunday once again awakened a latent phobia among fans: hatred of the Jumbo Visma.
To me, personally, talking about hate or reading that Vingegaard is the worst thing that has happened to this Tour seems excessive.
However, in this case, I do believe that the dutch team are specialists in alienating themselves when they may not need to.
I also tell you that they are very clear about the objective and they do not care about being the “lemon prize” more than once.
We know that Primoz Roglic had just fallentogether with Geraint Thomas, that the race was dangerous, but it was dangerous for everyone and in circumstances that, I’m very sorry, are not far from so many others in which you compete normally.
That same day the double winner of the Tour was previously caught talking with Enric Mas to see if the race was cut short.
Definitely, the mamoneo that the fan intuits many times, but that this time was done with light and stenographers.
That of the Jumbo Visma, therefore, does not come from this Tour, there are iconic images like those of Tony Martin three years agoin the initial stage of the Tour, asking the crowd to calm down.
This added to the testimonials of other cyclists commenting that they cannot talk to them during certain moments of the season, because they are “super” focused on the competition.
Obviously, the yellow cyclists can ask for things in the peloton, they are within their rights, but personally It seems to me such a great lack of respect to do it at times like Sundaywhich luckily not everyone is willing to support them, as demonstrated by Alpecin and DSM, interested in making the race live for their interests.
With Jumbo, therefore, I have a mixed feeling.
They make you want to kill them, when they do these cacicadasbut at the same time they are capable of giving us memorable cycling days, like last year in the Granon or at the start of Paris-Nice.
And not only that, Some of the most beloved cyclists in the peloton compete in his block.
The other day in Barcelona, every time Roglic stuck his nose out, a murmur emerged in the place, and no wonder, the Slovenian has acquired the charisma of a tough and competitive cyclist that combines perfectly with the closeness he shows since a time ago.
The same happened with Sepp Kuss, a beloved guy who is on the verge of completing three majors in the same year with options to see his teammate win.
And that was not Wout Van Aert, whose heartbreak on a bicycle we felt as our own.
With everything, and surely it will happen again, hold on to the names and charisma of some Jumbo boys to love them when they deserve it, because I’m sure, as I say, that some other plant will be proposed again sooner rather than later.
