Peter Øxenborg Hansen exists, and might be good at some time in the future

A much better title would be
Peter Øxenberg is the new Juan Ayuso is the new Jacob Hindsgaul is the new Jonas Vingegaard is the new [whoever had the record before Vingegaard]

Pidcock actually beat Ayuso's record, but that was with motor pacing so it didn't count. I'm not a big fan of these TTT style rides either, because they depend on the strength of the rest of the riders. In this case, Øxenberg was apparently not even the guy they wanted to finish it off.
 
So it seems the winning formula is not like they previously though, to be born and live up high like the Colombians climbers. But to be born and live as close to sea altitude as possible and have no climbs around. Only then can you become a true climber.
They found "oil" in Denmark. Denmark now is like the brasilian favelas for football, it's a nest of talent.
