Seems pretty likely, although I haven't seen any news about it. But he seems like a big family guy, and his daughter must be about 3 years old now, so seems natural that a second will follow soon.
He is charmingly enamoured of his family, gotta say. I still remember the tearful interview that he gave during last years's TdF, when he switched to Danish mid-interview to tell his daughter he loved her.
If he wasnt married, a marriage would be a bit more plannable than your average pregnancy. I doubt any top1 favorite like Vingegaard would plan their marriage to interfere with a race.
I have this pet theory that’s mostly a joke (but also not) that she is the tactical brains behind his success, and that she’s skilfully calling the strategic shots behind the scenes.
The few times I’ve seen her interviewed she’s been funny and bubbly, but opposites attract right??
I don’t think you’re that far off tbh, I mean I think his success is 100% all down to him, but she seems to be pretty involved in the decision-making for their household.
And fun fact, they met because she was a staff member of a team he used to ride for when he was younger.
You would be spot on since Trine is his official manager.
Everything outside of him riding his bike goes through her. It's officially a family business.
It’s not a theory, she is officially his manager and abandoned her own career for it, and she was essential in his growth as a professional cyclist ; when they started dating he wasn’t even sure he wanted to turn pro and envisioned being a banker…

I remember some of the “old time”(70’s & 80’s riders talking about this. If you wanted a kid you had to plan it so they would be delivered in the winter, especially in Italy.
Also weddings during the season was almost a guaranteed pink slip.
If Pogi wins the Tour and Jonas is skipping the Vuelta, due to what I assume is a pregnancy, he'd be absolutely insane not to attend the Vuelta and go for the treple while he has the perfect year to do so.
There would be significant aero benefits to a pregnant belly. Riders are already putting radios and bottles down the front of their jersey. UCI can't ban naturally occurring aero modifications
Here, I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies!
IMO he should then also choose to win Worlds and the Olympics (both road and ITT) and Lombardy and BingoBongo and MSR (retroactively) and Druivenkoers-Overijse to make it a *really* good season, but that's just my opinion
If he wins the Tour I think you might need to book an appointment with a specialist because the pressure for him to even attempt the triple will be too much to resist, surely.
Roglic would have the tour in his legs aswell. Depending on how hard Pogi has to push to win the tour, I believe he has it in him to beat Roglic again.
I'm like 99.9% certain this is an made up article. TV2 are obsessed with Vingegaard and they would have known/reported on this if it was the case.
Also the article claims Italian sources which doesn't make much sense, especially not when the Danish 'sources' are impossible to find.
I'm sure TV2 will find out about this article sooner rather than later and try to get a comment from either VLAB or Vingegaard's manager, so it can either be confirmed or denied.
Edit: Sent the article to their sports department and asked if they knew anything/could find out whether it's true or not.
TV2 obsessed with Vingegaard so much they can't put their interview they did with my friend when they voted for the European Parliament election online for all, smh my head.
I don't know which twin you are talking about. But neither one has a shot against Rog in Spain, coming off TdF disappointment. Kuss gonna get that work too.
We'll see how good roglic is but his Dauphine was at least a little impacted by the big crash. Even if yates is a bit better climber (pretty big if), he'll always have to be on the attack, cause Rog is gonna clean him on bonuses and TT.
Agreed, he needed the unique race situation of that ultra big time gap breakaway last year. Can't really see him repeat it if Pog or Rogla or maybe even evenepoel is there.
Feels like a polite way to say pregnancy, however the end of the Vuelta is only 13 weeks away so feels a bit strange not to announce a 27 week+ pregnancy?
The other option is a serious surgery (for his wife)? Could be booked for early August but if it means he is home and not training for 3 weeks that would be enough to do it.
His family have definitely been more private this year, so a pregnancy would honestly explain it well. It is likely they just want to keep it a secret especially due to Trine’s age too. Her pregnancy would be considered high-risk.
But we will see if it ends up being true. I hope so because they have talked about wanting another baby a few times although I would have loved to see Jonas at the Vuelta. But if it’s true then the birth of his baby is much more important, of course.
You're joking, but Froomey just got his first five PCS points (still 0 UCI points) this season after finishing 81st (out of 94) in the Dauphine and he also finished with all the favorites on Stage 5 (which was neutralised), so he's clearly getting in shape and ready to win another GT!
I mean imagine it. He could have THE season. Two monuments, three GTs + Rainbow + the golden Bike...
Still, the realistic result (two monuments + two GTs + Rainbow) is already insanely good.
Oooh, hopefully congratulations are in order then. I must say, outside of him being so darn good and likeable, I have a soft spot for Jonas also because my beautiful goddaughter is named Frida like his kid and is roughly the same age:)
Could this be why nothing has been announced concerning the tour? They (Jonas and his wife) might have doubts about whether he should go. Jonas is a family man first and foremost
This is not about the tour? Jonas said in the first video back on the bike posted by visma that he would do everything to be at the tour in top shape. If he does not start the tour that means he couldnt get ready in time. I think most girlfriends, wifes etc are not totally comfortable with their partner riding but it is literally his profession? Like what?
Perhaps they have had complications with pregnancies in the past. Maybe they are nervous. I know riding is their job but I suspect Jonas puts his family first. If they are nervous about the pregnancy maybe Jonas wants to stay home. But what do I know, it’s only speculation 🤷♂️
Layup Vuelta win for Roglic, I guess? I'll take it, will be tied first for Vuelta GCs!
Also, great to hear about increased training and improvements for Jonas. But I'm also not surprised, unlike most people I've seen here I still assumed he'd be at TDF in good form. Looks like that'll be the case.
> Although Visma-Lease a Bike indicates that it will only decide very late whether defending champion Jonas Vingegaard will ride the Tour,
Don't do this. Don't give me hope for the Kuss-Jorgenson 1-2 punch.
Hopefully the circumstance is a pregnancy?
Unless they are planning someones death I would imagine so.
I'm pretty certain Vingegaard would murder everyone at the Vuelta.
Except Kuss
You're certain Pogi won't be there? I know he says he won't, but...
If he wins the tour, he going for it
not if social media and jumbos PR team makes him gift another GC to Kuss. :D
Another Sepp-tember denier. You guys need a new hobby.
Big if true
do they do ättestupa in Denmark?
Well, it’s time for the Ættestup. Anyone want to go first?
It is quite the honor.
They tried once, but due to a lack of mountains they just broke their legs and became an even bigger burden on their families.
He's finally giving his daughter all those drugs
Seems pretty likely, although I haven't seen any news about it. But he seems like a big family guy, and his daughter must be about 3 years old now, so seems natural that a second will follow soon.
He is charmingly enamoured of his family, gotta say. I still remember the tearful interview that he gave during last years's TdF, when he switched to Danish mid-interview to tell his daughter he loved her.
That was during Vuelta, when he won Tourmalet on his daughter’s birthday
He is already married. And most bad family circumstances are not planned so far in advance. So I think a pregnancy too.
If he wasnt married, a marriage would be a bit more plannable than your average pregnancy. I doubt any top1 favorite like Vingegaard would plan their marriage to interfere with a race.
Unless he wants to make sure he doesn't have to ride the Vuelta :D
[удалено]
He’ll be able to top up the Visma team’s colostrum supplies.
No sharing with the team; he is so physiologically advanced that his body would recognize it and just reabsorb it for himself 💀
[удалено]
She doesn't appear publicly much.
I have this pet theory that’s mostly a joke (but also not) that she is the tactical brains behind his success, and that she’s skilfully calling the strategic shots behind the scenes. The few times I’ve seen her interviewed she’s been funny and bubbly, but opposites attract right??
She is very involved in his career, they are quite open about that.

Wout and Jonas need to plan these pregnancies better
Exactly. Just bang after MSR and have a kid in winter. Seems very simple.
Or like David Gadu, do it during the TdF with the foreplay in front of the press.
HUH?!

Didn’t g call him snogger?
I remember some of the “old time”(70’s & 80’s riders talking about this. If you wanted a kid you had to plan it so they would be delivered in the winter, especially in Italy. Also weddings during the season was almost a guaranteed pink slip.
Six hours of teasing and foreplay then a frantic climax.
unbelievably unprofessional indeed
[удалено]
Their coaches need to start scheduling sex as active recovery
Are you sure they’re not planning them exactly as they intend to?
that possibility did cross my mind
Due to *family* circumstances, but in italics. He's doing a Tour of Sicily, collecting protection money for the mob.
> molto bene * Don Jonas
Else he'll wake up with a saddle in his bed.
I'm gonna make him an offer he can't refuse
A Brooks Saddle, the worst kind of saddle.
Pog to Vuelta then? (Jk jk)
If he wins the tour it almost feels illegal for him not to go
If Pogi wins the Tour and Jonas is skipping the Vuelta, due to what I assume is a pregnancy, he'd be absolutely insane not to attend the Vuelta and go for the treple while he has the perfect year to do so.
I don't think it's likely that Vingegaard is pregnant, he hasn't got a womb.
You never know what he might or might not be carrying around!
There would be significant aero benefits to a pregnant belly. Riders are already putting radios and bottles down the front of their jersey. UCI can't ban naturally occurring aero modifications
Not to mention the increased blood supply and testosterone. This is a triple win scenario here
Is it considered mechanical doping or outside influence if he can get the fetus to pedal as well?
Here, I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies!
Pregnant GC champions are not aero.
Pregnancy decreases drag actually
Whats more unlikely, his watt per kg or him having birthing ability🤔😄
Don't deny him the right to have babies!! [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R79yYo2aOZs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R79yYo2aOZs)
Did you just assume his gender?
IMO he should then also choose to win Worlds and the Olympics (both road and ITT) and Lombardy and BingoBongo and MSR (retroactively) and Druivenkoers-Overijse to make it a *really* good season, but that's just my opinion
It’ll never be legendary though without the Maryland Cycling Classic
Look at Kuss this season. Three GTs seem to leave a toll on a cyclist for next season.
Absolutely! But it'd be so legendary!
I doubt there would be a lot of concern about that if he had a triple on his palmares
Once in a lifetime chance to become a legend winning all grand tours in one season
I mean, why not?? He legitimately has a chance to do the GT triple plus Worlds plus Olympic gold. Would be completely bonkers.
I mean this with all due respect - there’s a better chance that a monkey climbs out of my anal cavity than that happening.
Yet not entirely impossible!
😏😏
If he wins the Tour I think you might need to book an appointment with a specialist because the pressure for him to even attempt the triple will be too much to resist, surely.
Unrelated question: in the last year or in the next year have you consumed a living baby monkey or are planning to?
So you're saying there's hope?!
How long has it been up there?
Honestly, if Jonas isn't there he should think about it.
[удалено]
Roglic would have the tour in his legs aswell. Depending on how hard Pogi has to push to win the tour, I believe he has it in him to beat Roglic again.
That's what I was thinking as well, what odds can I get for a Pog GT triple win?
What is this story based on? i can't find any danish articles, writing about Jonas not riding the Vuelta, due to a family circumstance.
Skjelmose pre race interview /s Cant find any sources about this either on TV2/Feltet
I'm like 99.9% certain this is an made up article. TV2 are obsessed with Vingegaard and they would have known/reported on this if it was the case. Also the article claims Italian sources which doesn't make much sense, especially not when the Danish 'sources' are impossible to find.

If no Pogi, no Jonas, and probably no Remco, then Rogla gonna smoke everyone
the world is not ready for GC mcnulty
Yates>>>
I don't know which twin you are talking about. But neither one has a shot against Rog in Spain, coming off TdF disappointment. Kuss gonna get that work too.
Assuming TDF disappoinment already??
At the moment, Adam Yates is arguably the third best GC rider.
We'll see how good roglic is but his Dauphine was at least a little impacted by the big crash. Even if yates is a bit better climber (pretty big if), he'll always have to be on the attack, cause Rog is gonna clean him on bonuses and TT.
Kuss back to back baby!
I would like to see Sepp do that but I think that this might be a bridge too far.
Agreed, he needed the unique race situation of that ultra big time gap breakaway last year. Can't really see him repeat it if Pog or Rogla or maybe even evenepoel is there.
Hogwash. The king of Spain will return, and he’s bringing his dead army (Vingegaard, Van Aert) with him. Quick, to the meme machine!
Kuss superdomestique for Matteo time.
We will see. I worry a bit about his form this year.
Eganito get ready to learn triple crown buddy.
Scene is set for a vintage Vuelta experience. Got my money on Jakob Fuglsang doing a Chris Horner out of nowhere at 40 years old.
That's gotta be high returns to that money if it comes through.
Feels like a polite way to say pregnancy, however the end of the Vuelta is only 13 weeks away so feels a bit strange not to announce a 27 week+ pregnancy?

froome’s gonna complete his vuelta triple
You're joking, but Froomey just got his first five PCS points (still 0 UCI points) this season after finishing 81st (out of 94) in the Dauphine and he also finished with all the favorites on Stage 5 (which was neutralised), so he's clearly getting in shape and ready to win another GT!
Pog for GT, Worlds, Olympic quintuple.
Next season, pog wins every race! Even your own town race!
I mean imagine it. He could have THE season. Two monuments, three GTs + Rainbow + the golden Bike... Still, the realistic result (two monuments + two GTs + Rainbow) is already insanely good.
Actually I get scared seeing people imagine things like this...🤣 (I'll just pray for good luck in the tour for now! then hope for more👀)
And don’t forget about Catalunya and Strade!!
Lombardi is still open for a 3rd monument.
I think they just shut down men’s cycling if that happens. That’s it, he beat the sport. No need for next year.
Pog GT triple confirmed!
"You did the triple with your team? Cute, I'll do it myself!"
If this is true he is 100% riding the Tour then, regardless of form. Discussion over imo
Oooh, hopefully congratulations are in order then. I must say, outside of him being so darn good and likeable, I have a soft spot for Jonas also because my beautiful goddaughter is named Frida like his kid and is roughly the same age:)
wholesome!
Could this be why nothing has been announced concerning the tour? They (Jonas and his wife) might have doubts about whether he should go. Jonas is a family man first and foremost
What do you mean?
Maybe it’s not a question of his form but instead has to do with whether or not him and Trine feels comfortable with him riding.
This is not about the tour? Jonas said in the first video back on the bike posted by visma that he would do everything to be at the tour in top shape. If he does not start the tour that means he couldnt get ready in time. I think most girlfriends, wifes etc are not totally comfortable with their partner riding but it is literally his profession?

I think GC Matteo for the bees at Vuelta with GC Kuss as a superdom and backup.
I really hope he does the Tour. It will be a shame if he doesn’t.
Layup Vuelta win for Roglic, I guess? I'll take it, will be tied first for Vuelta GCs! Also, great to hear about increased training and improvements for Jonas. But I'm also not surprised, unlike most people I've seen here I still assumed he'd be at TDF in good form. Looks like that'll be the case.

Let's finish the Tour first, huh? Family circumstances or not.
