Amazing comeback from injury. Looks well for the Cobbled Classsics.

Athletes and recoveries never seize to amazes me. Fighting for top spots already. Good to have him back.

Turns out, Vingegaard is not the only trendsetter around:

Definitely the first time I've seen a photo like that.

The cap is definitely the "dot over the i", though.

I'm sure this has been covered before, but can any native Dane explain how to pronounce Mads?

Rob Hatch makes a point of pronouncing it "Mass" but frankly, I don't trust him. He also pronounced Bjerg as BYELL which I'm not convinced it correct either!

we definitely are weird and our language is crazy compared to anything other than Suomi or Basque.
But it is an "a" sound, but not like mass, as 3 x Buddy points out it's more like the "a" in Jazz.

So, apparently the tape on his wrist the last few races wasn't because of the fracture - wrong wrist even.
Turns out, he had another crash (during training) and was really close to just packing his suitcase, and go home.
