Woah! I forgot he was collecting points in intermediates. Up to third!! (albeit almost 100 pts behind Van Aert)

Thanks!
He could have been a lot closer, but he's well-behaved and hasn't contested those sprints yet (apart from the one on stage 3, but he couldn't really gift that to anyone but himself)
The 29-year-old Danish has been giving impressive performance in TDF 2022, with stylish beard, energetic attack and friendly smile to spectators alongside the road.
I don't think he has been impressive in fact he has been stupid - He stays in the peleton in stage 4 and he wins stage 5.

Yeah, I think the team didn't deploy him properly. Cort is a rider who has the ability to win hard stages.
Sending him in four consecutive "pointless" breaks doesn't seem the best approach for a rider capable of much more
If he wanted so badly the KoM jersey they could have picked one stage. If it was a team strategy, then fight it with Doull who doesn't have the tools to fight for stages.

That's a pornstache, not a beard.The 29-year-old Danish has been giving impressive performance in TDF 2022, with stylish beard, energetic attack and friendly smile to spectators alongside the road.
Hold on! He could theoretically keep the KoM jersey after tomorrow, if the person who wins doesn't score points on the two cat 3 climbs, or has points already.
Well if he's the winner, he doesn't have to take points on the other climbs to keep the jersey.
Obviously... but assuming that we're still in fact on Earth, where Magnus Cort is not going to win any race going up Planche des Belles Filles - with or without the 'super' - he could still keep the jersey, without getting any points today.
He's got 11 points, the winner gets 10 points.
Turns out he - accidentally - got involved in a bit of a "battle of wills" with the spectators:
Cort opdagede sjov detalje på podiet - TV 2

If ever someone deserved a stage win! Also Bettiol playing team game to perfection. Magnus is pure class.
He was fortunate with how the final played out, but he was always going to need a bit of luck. He rode smart and Bettiol helped him to save energy. Great win after he missed out in the Giro.
He has a column in the Danish newspaper BT. He has a rather strange ritual when winning big, he writes. I don't know if it's within forum guidelines to describe it further.
But there was a funny episode before the podium ceremonies because both Cort and Bettiol were due to go on the podium and they were changing in the same area. Apparently, it took a few minutes before Bettiol suddenly yelled, "Wait, you won the stage!?!" I guess being a part of the race is not the best way to follow it

I've just found the column on their website. Using google translate, i'm sure that doesn't help with the weirdness of the 'ritual'!He has a column in the Danish newspaper BT.

Fun fact: Cort is currently found 100 places below Kristoff in the UCI rankings. That's probably not how the ordinary cycling fan would rank them.
I know I'm totally late the the party here, but... remember what happened last time someone used google translate to translate a Danish rider's column on B.T?
I'll give you hint: The rider in question is also riding in Canada right now.
Kristoff is very good at placing in 1 day races. Cort is really not.
Ok, maybe I'll help you guys, by translating this article with google:
https://www.bt.dk/tour-de-france/danske-cykelstjerner-skal-til-vm-eksamen-i-canada
Naah, I don't see the word that would be translated into the word that caused memetastic levels two years ago.
