> “It may sound strange, but Jonas has actually been the perfect experiment,” Heemskerk says when he talks about Vingegaard’s training mentality. “In terms of ‘compliance’, adhering to the schedules, he does everything down to a few decimal places, so to speak.”

> “If you tell him to train for five hours in a certain zone, he will ride those five hours in that zone. He understands very well that you can discover exactly what works well and less well for him based on perfect training schedules. Many riders continuously deviate a little from their schedule. They ride 10 watts harder and turn five hours into five and a half hours. Not Jonas. Four hours with VO2 intervals is also 4 hours with VO2 intervals.”

> “In drawing up those schedules, he gives us as coaching staff the utmost confidence. Incidentally, that is not blindly training like a robot, as is sometimes suggested. That is simply understanding why following a schedule is better.”

I love the last part, no he's not a robot he's just a good goy
