Here is a peculiar thing, the best Japanese cyclist was born on Okinawa in Ishigaki. On an island roughly 229.00 km2.
I wonder how a kid that grew up so far from mainland Japan (where I assume the most opportunities were to become a pro) ended up becoming pro.

Is that a fact?

Okay, so the two stage winners - so far - in Catalunya has one important thing in common:

Meanwhile, Skjelmose had tried to grow a moustache, but his fiancée told him to shave it, and Vingegaard's wife and daughter has also vetoed his attempt at growing one (don't think they're at the race).
What is it with Danish ladies not liking moustaches?

Cort's girlfriend is Norwegian, and she seems okay with the moustache... as long as it retains its natural colour.
