I want Lance.

Do you still want Lance or are you good with. Sheffield?

Lance!

Look! Another win by the 100% Danish guy. And there's a weird pattern shaping up with his wins:

Stage 1 Besseges.
Stage 3 P-N.
Stage 1 Sarthe.
Stage 3 Sarthe.
Stage 1 Belgium.

But does that mean he will only win stage 1, also win stage 3 or possibly win three stages in this race?

Also, I was under the impression that this was his first win of the year, but maybe that's because he had different nationalities when he won the 4/5 other times.

He needs to either also win stage 3, then win both stage 1 and stage 3 of the Tour.
Or, since he'll probably have a hard time beating Ganna - and several others - in the ITT, wait with any more winning until stage 3 of the Tour.

And it appears some journalist in Belgium can't count.

I think he now has the nationality of the country he races in, so Mads Pedersen, the Frenchman, has 4 wins this year while the Danish and the Belgian Mads Pedersen both have one.

Tv2 (and me) completely forgot about Fyn!
The race... not the island...

They didn't on ES, but Tobias Kongstad, who was co-commentating, also rode the race, so he should know.

Mads signed a new contract until December 31st, 2025.

Good for him and the team. Trek have a nice squad for the next years… (Lance Armstrong would and will be proud of „his“ team - which would not exist without Lance)…

His team didn’t last without him.

Yeah, but I mean that Trek as a bicycle company probably would not exist any more, in 2022 - if there wouldn‘t have been a Lance Armstrong.

So, also Trek-Segafredo would not exist… I hope Pedersen, Stuyven, Mollema et al do not forget about that…

Wasn’t Trek from Leopold or whatever it was that the Schlecks and Cancellara was on? At least he doesn’t have to see RadioShack.

Yes, I think it's built on Leopard license, despite carrying the RadioShack name, both teams rode Trek which made it more confusing.

Chapeau, Mads!
Whatever nationality you have, you rode one heck of a stage.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Super strong today!
He attacked while Ganna tried to eat something, but Küng managed to be on his wheel pretty fast and he just rode him off his wheel.
Gotta respect when the fastest guy in a group takes the bull by the horns and goes on the attack himself.

@RedheadDane always great when an American wins a stage at the TdF

Danes are having an amazing Tour so far.

We have to acknowledge that Simmons also played a part in it, and that his bike is American.

Now, now, now. Behave yourself!
Second part saved you.

This team didn't evolve out of the LA Postal Discovery Shack team. LA and JB's team does not exist.

EDIT: sorry, this was already mentioned.

CONGRATS Mads! Great win today!

Simmons was born in the USA...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Simmons was born in the USA...

I didn't claim he wasn't. My point was that there is two reasons it's partially an American victory as well.

My bad, I was being silly, I should have put a winky emoji with that. I was implying that just because he was born in the USA...I'll stop...

Great win.
