All diplomatic talk but deep down he wants this however selfless he is.
The Belgian fans weren't overly impressed with Jonas after it was "perceived" that he didn't pull hard enough for WvA during one of the early sprint stages at this year's TdF. I hope this won't come back to bite Jumbo in the end
I think it was the Saxo Bank classic where WvA let Laporte take the victory and Laporte has been a trooper since he joined TJV.
Not forgetting that a significant part of Jumbo's recent success has been the chemistry within the team. Stats can't measure it but I wouldn't want to rock the boat of the team dynamics in TJV. Minimal risk at this point for Jumbo to lose now. Just bring it home for SK

Rooting for Kuss. But it doesn't seem Jonas will allow him the jersey for free.
Totes agree. Would be gutted for GC Kuss if Jonas or if Niermann doesn't make the call to sacrifice for SK.
If anything JV should also consider the long-term impact this may have on the team dynamics. A Vuelta would mean quite a lot for Kuss especially since Chris "Welcome to the Butterfly Effect" Horner was the last American to take the red jersey.
Of course, there aren't any gifts in cycling but cummon on, this is the man who helped both team leaders secure the 2 grand tours already this year let alone in previous years as well. Not just anybody. He will forever be indebted to you

Alas, the rest of the gents will surely bring a good battle, but Primoz should then wrap this up convincingly in the end*
* : if he stays on his bike
that will take the shine off the victory. I can't imagine Roglic is thoroughly chuffed at wrapping this up without Remco in the mix
Martinez has the same look of determination when he towed Bernal at last years Giro
Not sure if I heard this properly, but they are speculating that Pog might not attack at Hautecam (against DS's preference)
We'll know in 16km'stime
Just now, Frosty said:Will Jonas do a Steven Kruiswijk (Giro) and lose it?
That was ultra close. Now it's Pogacar
6 minutes ago, Vetplant said:Wout is looking in ominous form, going to ride away with a mountain top stage victory at this rate...
Hope he isn't needed to pull Vingegaard back to Pog in the Descent.
Top class form. Been JV's strategy of late to leave a man (or 2) upfront for Jonas
And another attack shut down immediately

Sjoe..... Pretty much their whole team on the deck so far and losing Roglic and Kruiswijk o the same day is huge.
Benoot doesn't look good either.
This is why you race like every day counts in the GC battle!

Hahaha hard to believe but with so much public outcry, they probably relented
