    The Mad Mads Pedersen Thread

    Yes, this year he finally had the luck, with several punctures and incidents to his main rivals (sure, he himself also had one puncture, but at a moment where it was not dangerous, on the first section). But he just didn´t have the legs, probably because of his injuries that meant that he was/is...

    Do you have hobbies off-the-bike? If so, what?

    I like going out and watch various sports event in my area. And I have a small Youtube-channel with a little less than 300 subs where I do videos about local sports events, including cycling.

    The Mad Mads Pedersen Thread

    Amazing and unexpectedly great and fast comeback. Top Five in both Milano-Sanremo and Ronde van Vlanderen. I did not expect that a month ago. Just a shame that we didn´t see him at 100% in these two races, but I think that in Paris-Roubaix he will be close to his best again and if eveerything...

    Paul Seixas: Tour de France Winner 2031

    2031? I believe Seixas could win the Tour in 2028-2029. He already seems close to Vingegaard and give it two-three years more and he could beat Pogacar as well..... Probalby he is not quite ready YET, because he needs experience from Grand Tours and I am not sure that in a three weeks Grand...

    Teams & Riders Jakob Fuglsang discussion thread

    Fuglsang was my favorite rider for many years, since as a Dane I especially followed Danish riders and before the great generation of cyclists that Denmark NOW has, he was the only real Danish top rider that could compete with the best, maybe except Matti Breschel who peaked in World...

    Ronde van Vlaanderen 2026, monument, April 5 (men's)

    Overall I did enjoy the race. It was great to see all the big stars line up and fight against each others and they also all lived up to the expectations. But as other users have pointed out, the race was also a bit to predictable, as it pretty much ended with the Top 5 that we could logically...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I understand. But still I was surprised to see how much his level has dropped in just three weeks. I could have understood if he arrived at the 10th or 12th place. But it was shocking to see that he was dropped at a point where there were still at least 80 riders left in the peloton. Honestly I...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Nice to see that at the end of the Tour he showed signs of being a human, despite claims of him being alien. This in my opinion only gives more credit to him, because his visible fatigue in the last week points towards that he is probably clean and seeing him being just a bit human only makes...

    Tour de France Rate the 2025 Tour de France

    6 it was ok, but no particulary great tour. No real contention for the win and to much time gaps between the riders from spot 1 to 3. Also disappointing that Evenepoel was not at his best and that Vingegaard didn´t even win one single stage. At least we had riders like Healy, Arensman...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I agree. He tried all? Really? If he had tried all he could have attacked 3-5 km. from the finish line on the big mountain stage thursday and then he would maybe have catched up O´Connor. And yesterday - don´t tell me that he could not have attacked 300 meters earlier, what would have been...

    Tour de France Tour de France 2025 Stage 19: Albertville-La Plagne (93.1k) ‚Historic day, magnificent racing‘ ~ Rob Hatch, probably

    Vingegaard yesterday was one of the most stupid things I have ever seen in cycling. He started his attack when Arensman had already won and when he was unreachable, just because he was afraid of losing to Pogi if he started ten-fiften seconds earlier. That is so *** dammed stupid that I...

    Teams & Riders Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

    Today it was clear that he didn´t want Vingegaard to win so to get a little revenge on him he didn´t want to catch up Arensman and Vingegaard was naive enough to believe that Pogi would catch up Arensman and go for the stage win (what Pogi in reality didn´t really care about). I think Pogi was...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    To be honest he did go all in for five minutes on the madeleine. For the rest of the stage he sat behind his teammates that did the work for him at at pretty moderate pace sat by Yates. So I don´t agree with you if you think he could not have tried a little bit more. He attacked ONE time for...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    I don´t know if generally he is boring, but I agree that he should have been more coragious in this Tour. He was too passive on various ocasions where he had the chance to either win the stage or to test Pogi. Of course it is NO SHAME to lose to Pogi who is better than Vingegaard. But it is a...

    Teams & Riders Jonas Vingegaard thread: Love in Iberia

    Sure, I did watch the entire stage... And yes, he did attack on the Madeleine, but I am still disappointed that he was so passive on the last climb. Of course you could be right about that he didn´t have the legs, but the fact is that he had told that he would go ALL IN for the victory and...
