Also, Van der Poel is Belgian.

Is he "Belgian" in the same way Chris Juul is "Irish"? Because this is sure an interesting jersey for a Belgian to wear:

This could be a stage for Kasper Asgreen but the course is no doubt too easy for him now that he's back in his best shape he needed the tougher stages but the team made him work for Alaphilippe. Instead I see a good chance for Michael Moerkeov in the sprint finish now he finally gets a chance to ride for himself. All those times he has been sacrificed just so some sprinter could win. It's ridiculous!

Moerkoeov has such a strong work ethic, like Danish people in general. He started in school early, like at age six. That's how it is in Danish society. You must learn! like KRS-ONE says :)

Before school Moerkoev often had breakfast at home. That's common here. Sometimes corn flakes or other type of cereal and some bread or fruit juice. Or maybe havregroed, a Danish specialty that's like cooked on the stove and served hot or sometimes cold and maybe with honey on top. :p

For christmas holidays we have a different kind of groeod called risengroed, you prepare it and carry it to the attic (many Danish houses have several floors) to serve to the Santa Claus or actually more often the evil gremlins with red pants that live there and talk to rats all day. :(

You should have focused more on Asgreen than Mørkøv...

I used to like Jasper, but after that absolutely idiotic act, I cannot root for him anymore. God, I hope QS and Lotto try to make it a hell to control in Paris - if anything just to make sure he doesn't get the opportunity to win. If I was the Lotto DS, I'd inform the whole team to do all kinds of shenanigans on Champs and hell, thats their best chance for a win anyways.

Asgreen, what a monster performance. Love that guy. If Wout doesn't win in Glasgow, it has to be Kasper!
