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. :(
 
I'm imagining most TDF viewers who weren't hardcore will stop watching after yesterday, so the viewership should go down significantly. It's like watching a soccer match where one team is already leading 7-1 or something similar.

Yeah at for example Giro the suspension and aggravation lasted till the very end. Much better handled if you ask me. But OK.

At least make an effort...
 
So who's gonna win the stage?

Michael Mørkøv
Michael Moerkoev
Michael Moerkeov
Michael Moerkoeov

Only one of those riders actually exist.
I'm pretty sure he dropped his original surname - Christensen - so Mørkøv, which was the name of his late father, who died of cancer, would be his official surname. Deliberately misspelling it - when you have the means to spell it correctly - just seems disrespectful.

That‘s an amazing first post. :cool::cool:
 
The fight for the break today will be intense. It benefits Jumbo for the break to go so Jonas doesn't have to have anything to do with a bunch sprint. So they don't chase. I think the break goes today, unfortunately for JDP.

No, Asgreen not in his best shape (i hope to add 'yet'), compared to pinnacle shape pre Tour de Suisse '22 crash....
