The Mad Mads Pedersen Thread

[Boehmand]

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."

For the non-Danes:

"Pig" is pronounced like "pik" in Demmark - which is a slang word for "***".

Pull him out of the Giro after his 8th win and bring him to the Tour.

He has Pogacar and MVP in the Tour.

He's destroying Danish records en masse this Giro, though the two he broke by winning stage 13 are significantly newer than the one he broke earlier.

He now has the record for most Danish GT stage wins (10), a record he shared with Cort since stage 5.
He also has the record for most Danish stage wins in a single GT (4), a record he shared with Cort since stage 19 of the 2022 Vuelta.

But if he gets 8 (that would be insane ) you would be an idiot to not try to take the record (from Pelissier, Merckx and Maertens) at the sprint in Rome

He has Pogacar and MVP in the Tour.

In this shape he can match them - but it's not happening anyway, because it would mess with Milan and his lead out squad and create unending friction in the team.

If someone gets an injury however...

Danish powerhouse!

In this shape he gets destroyed like he was in March/April.

I'm not writing off Milan yet, and he is better than Pedersen for the real bunch sprints - it's why the team signed him.

And he hasn't exactly been terrible, stage wins in Valenciana, UAE and Tirreno, points jersey in UAE and Tirreno, and 6th in Kuurne, 2nd in Brugge and 3rd in Wevelgem.

Roubaix is his big Achilles heel, he has never finished the race, but Mads has got that one covered

The stage win record in the Giro is 12 set by Binda.

Ah, my bad - I thought it was 8, but that is apparently just for the Tour - nevermind then, he can go home after 8
