The Mad Mads Pedersen Thread

[jmdirt]

Just call it the Stark Raving Mads Thread, although that could make people think he too had a sponsorship deal with a supplier of building materials.

"Mad" as in "crazy", not "mad" as in "angry".

Yes, I got that

Or is in the habit of going around telling people that "Winter is Coming!"

 

[Tricycle Rider]

Massive respect for Mads. Listening to his press conference he is a classy and honest guy.

And he also has the cutest button nose in the entire peloton, it has to be said. Completely shallow observation. lol!

But seriously, in interviews he just comes across as a very likeable guy, somebody you could have a beer with.

Contract for life at Lidl-Trek.

Not sure how I feel about these constructions. Honestly thought he would even move to another team, to be honest.

I guess this means clear cut leader in the classics and (finally) leading out Milan on flat GT stages. Milan with that leadout will smash fools left and right...

 

[proffate]

One side is eventually going to regret this, but I guess both parties think it won't be them.

 

[RedheadDane]

Okay, enough contract-talk.

According to Asgreen he "Looks just like Peppa Pig".
And I'm sure it was meant in a friendly manner.

He's been a Trek-guy (and ambassador) forever. Afaik he even owns a Trek shop and service in Denmark (at least he did a couple of years ago).

The only way he would leave the team, would be if Trek sold it to someone else - who then changed the bike sponsor.

I love when the Danish jargon comes out of the woodwork between the riders - like when Skibby saw Riis in the polka dots for the first time, and said "wft Bjarne, have you gotten measles?"

How would you put that in Danish?

 

[Boehmand]

"Hvad fanden Bjarne, har du fået mæslinger?"

Where is that quote from, I tried googling it with no success?

An interview being shown during the broadcast of the stage earlier.
It was in Danish, I just translated it to English for alll the non-Danish people who apparently frequent this, the Mads Pedersen Forum.

Damn, they seem to have not put it out as a separate video on their homepage or SoMe - I would have liked to watch it.

And another one...then another one!

 

[fenns]

he could win 7 stages in this race - maybe more

 

[Didinho]

Even the life long contract not holding him back.

Vacek controlling the peloton for another victory, but he still had to be there in front.

 

[RedheadDane]

Stage wins, by jersey.

1. Regular Trek.
3. Ciclamino.
5. Pink.

He has a 25-point deficit to the blue jersey, so... that'll be tricky.

Vacek is pretty automatic. Impressive.

Mads X3!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Hail the Madster! At this rate he's gonna reach 100 before Pogačar (age wise, at least).

Pedersen himself made the reference before the first stage while speaking to a journalist. After the stage, the journalist asked if he could call him Peppa Pigesen. Pedersen replied, "Do what you want, but Pigesen sounds really nasty in Danish."
