Just randomly reviving this to remind everyone that he's already got his post-career job down: Bike salesman!

Though, can someone please remind me what he means about the "not hitting any more cars" bit?

Maybe he's refering to the Charlie Quarterman episode during Omloop. Anyway it seems that the brakes might actually be too good, cause the whole had a hard time getting up to speed today.

So, last year at the Tour he was in brilliant form, and got caught up in the taking-turns-thing at Trek.
This year, he was declared the sole sprinter before the start of the race, and has had bad luck, so doesn't really have it.

Pederson has always been an inconsistent rider which has been magnified in 2021 by him struggling anytime the road goes up - In saying that he did an awesome job for Porte at the 2020 TDF.

Pedersen hasn't been inconsistent in the Tour - he's been consistently bad. I do agree that he normally is inconsistent, though. He has few good results, and more often than not is he's not a factor, but when he does get a result, it's usually in a big race - and then he fights for the win.

I think this guy should definitely be discussed more than he´s at this point. I totally can see him winning a green jersey at the TDF 2022. While WvA spending energy for Rog and Jakobsen sprinting dominance being shrinked by fighting against other top fastest men and simultaneously by getting zero points from hilly stages, Pedersen might be the man to bet your money on. His sprint is faster than WvA´s one and he, certainly, can get those important points from hilly stages.

Now you trying him Dutch too?! :mad:

He must have seen that discussion in the "Lesser Known Races" thread, and decided he wanted to be shown with a Danish flag as much as possible!

See?

Note how there's no "Swedish on Thursdays" thing?
