Someone wants him to crash out?
Well, that did seem to become Fuglsang's "thing" for a couple of years.
But, yeah, the blog about all the husbands could be another possibility.

Someone wants him to crash out?
If he wants to try his hand at GT GCs, the Tour is the absolute worst GT for him this year - the Giro has a lot of TT whereas the Tour has a pseudo-MTT and nothing else, while the Vuelta mountain stages should suit him a little better than the Tour's. And considering that Evenepoel, Roglic and Ayuso are skipping the Tour too, it's not like he would have been dodging the best riders in the world by doing either.He is most definitely riding GC at the Tour, the whole season has been leading up to that.
He may fail, but if he was not to try it now, after winning TdS, then when?

Since joining Trek-Segafredo as a stagiaire in 2020, young Swiss Matthias Skjelmose's star has risen fast.
Flags are quite similar, I guess.Okay, Cycling Weekly, what have you got to say to your defense?
Tour de France: 5 outsiders to watch this July
Who are the dark horses in the running to snatch a stage victory in July's Grande Boucle?www.cyclingweekly.com
Just because Denmark is doing quite well in cycling these days, doesn't mean our riders are up for graps.
Ah, now I understand the Trek mix up: He simply finished 3rd in the Swiss championship.Okay, Cycling Weekly, what have you got to say to your defense?

Was just tryna play devlis advocate, as you asked about it.They mentioned him in the overview of National Champions in the TdF, with the correct nationality.
This.I applaud the courage.
"Smart" riding, ultra-conservative and looking for everyone else but himself to do anything
Well hey, I didnt think how he approached that particular stage was very smart, but the winner is always right. At the very end he began taking some responsiblity, and he better, because otherwise Ayuso would have won the overall. I think he focused a bit too much on Remco, and you can disagree with that, but I don't think my analysis was wrong or lame at all. He approached the race super conservatively, and in the end he won, but that might as well have costed him the race.This is really a lame comment. You can criticise people all you want for riding defensively if they have been competitive at the top level for a while but to criticise someone who for the very first time has a shot at winning one of the big one-week races is just ridiculous.
How to pronounce it, please?
Does the j get dropped?The closest you will get in English, is something like "Scale-mo-se"

Myeah, but does he pronounce it correctly? If we were to go by how people pronounce their own names... It has led people to pronounce a guy with a German name, Voeckler, like Leclerc with a V. About half the Belgian pro cyclists come from "a specific part of the country" which by definition means they are unable to correctly pronounce their own name when it includes certain letters. Or people mispronouncing their names due to it being written in ancient spelling, and trying to pronounce it by current spelling rules.You can hear him pronounce it here, where it sounds like he doesn't drop the j:

Especially his dropping the last e is a very Copenhagenish thing to do. I would never say it like that.Myeah, but does he pronounce it correctly?

The sound quality isn't great, unfortunately.WTF, he is dropping the k - now the confusion is complete
Yeah, we all now how you feel about this particular topicMyeah, but does he pronounce it correctly? If we were to go by how people pronounce their own names...
