The Mad Mads Pedersen Thread

[RedheadDane]

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.

Mads Pedersen apparently both suffering from pains after his crash - and has a cold.

He said today, that he has resigned himself to just getting through the Tour, to build form for the fall season.

 

[RedheadDane]

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.

Yes he is inconsistent, when he is injured AND ill - everyone is

So Pederson has been ill for most of the season - Had good results either side of PN but otherwise has struggled.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

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.

 

[Axel Hangleck]

I said after his Worlds win that he'll never be prolific, but he will win races occasionally, - and they'll usually be big ones. I'll stick with that opinion.

Finally finding some form. Worlds and Roubaix should be interesting

Coming good just in time to be underrated at the Worlds again

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.

Mads P. I don't know the surname and it sound like a criminal.

Have you heard about him now?

 

[jmdirt]

Good win for him today!

 

[tobydawq]

On a day where he is American unfortunately, I think.

 

[Valv.Piti]

One of the Roubaix favourites for sure. The race should suit the Danes better (Asgreen and Mads that is). Hopefully Wout gets back, and these guys will give Mathieu a run for his money!

No. Read the thread title!

Or appropriate, given he won in a race with "Circuit" in its title.

 

[jmdirt]

Mads has some solid April form!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Yorkshire 2019 shape, maybe better, upcoming

 

[Mayomaniac]

Yorkshire 2019 shape, maybe better, upcoming

On of my top favourites for Paris-Roubaix

 

[Valv.Piti]

Same. This race is a lot better for Mads and hes extremely hard to beat to the line. Poor man's Boonen.

 

[SHAD0W93]

He has yet to win on a day he is a Dane besides the points classification at Tour du Gard.
2/2 Weds
8/3 Tues
5/4 Tues
7/4 Swedish

He has yet to win on a day he is Dutch besides the pints classification at Tour du Gard.

Now you trying him Dutch too?!

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?

PCS is slow at times
