Vingegaard like Pogacar does not hide his cannibalistic hunger: “I am a cyclist, I like to win and I want to win the greatest number of races”

Great champions like to win, and they like to win as many times as they can; Then each one tries to write his signature on the triumph. It has been commented many times cannibal hunger by Tadej Pogacar. The Slovenian does not understand half measures and where he puts his eye he puts the bullet, showing a superiority wherever he competes that has raised some criticism.

But, deep down, all the champions, the cyclists who race to make history, seek to win, as I pointed out yesterday after winning the 20th stage of the Giro and reaffirm his overall victory, the Dane Jonas Vingegaard.

“I’m a cyclist, I like to win, I want to win as many races as possible, and today (yesterday) we decided to try again. It was the last day in the mountains so everything was yet to be decided. We gave everything for the stage. The boys have been incredible and I also had an incredible day,” he said at the beginning.

He added later: “Winning five stages and having a solid lead going into tomorrow (today) is something special for me. We had to improvise a little. Sepp (Kuss) He told me that today was not his best day, but Bart Lemmen It was amazing. He set a very hard pace from the bottom of the climb. The plan was to attack later in the climb, but we had to change it and I had to go a little earlier. Tomorrow (today) we will enjoy the day and also the night.“
