He's on Twitter now. When I saw he was only following one account, I was sure it was Pogačar's.

"Vingegaard visits a care home for the elderly on Thursday, July 27th, in his hometown of Glyngore with sources close the 26-year-old telling Belgian journalist Jonas Creteur that "It's his highest priority to pay a visit there, because he knows that it means something to the elderly, and it means something to him."
Good intentions, but it sounds a bit strange, and even more so that a Hollywood movie actor tweets about it.

That may all very well be true, but it's not the point. Vingegaard can do well when he's not in absolute top form, that's all I'm arguing. Of course he won't have his Tour form, but does he really need to without Pogacar? And given that recovery is his main strength, he should be reasonably ready in a month.
He has the added advantage that there's zero pressure. If it works out, great. If it doesn't, well, he's already won the biggest race on the calendar. Then it's up to Roglic.

Isn't Ben Stiller a buddy of Lance Armstrong? He's probably quite into cycling. Has to be, because otherwise as an American he'd have no idea who Jonas Vingegaard is.
Actors strike, maybe the actors are bored atm.
Or maybe they have the same SoMe management agency.

I'd not be surprised if Musk changed it so you automatically follow him, like this Myspace dude back in the day.

What sounds strange about it? That he did this or that they reported on it?
That Stiller knows this is a surprise but maybe he still hangs out with Tour contenders sometimes and knows ***.

If this is reaching Hollywood folks, let's make a comedy out of it.
Ben Stiller's Zoolander as Pogi Boy and Macaulay Culkin as Vingo. Schwarzenneger as Van Aert and Patrick Stewart as Gianetti.
Just imagining Van Aert's Schwarzenegger dropping in Joux Plane echoing "I'll be back" to finish off with Majka.
Of course it couldn't be a '20s hollywood flick without Timothée Chalamet as Remco.

Stiller is a huge sports fan, I think he's also huge into tennis.

If you've seen Meet the Parents, you'll know Stiller's father-in-law Robert de Niro is a retired CIA operative. So sure, he knows stuff.

Denmark is really starting to rival Belgium in terms of cycling popularity. I wouldn't expect the crowd to be this big after his second Tour win.

He's likely devastated by the criticism on the cyclingnews forums, but he'll have to console himself with the wee bit of support from the people of Denmark.

He wants to ride the Olympics next year. Riding in the "City of Love" will make him unbeatable.

do they have room for him in a 4-men team, though? I guess Pedersen, Bjerg and maybe Skjelmose (depending on his program) are more or less fixed?

He obviously can't nor should he have a guaranteed spot in the team, considering the current strength among the Danish riders. But it does sound like he will be representing the national team next year in the EC and/or WC (but a lot can of course change within a year).
