Mads Pedersen explains that avoiding having to sprint against Philipsen was an important motivation for the attacks on the circuit, including Søren Kragh's.

Great racing from Mads and the lads. Proud to be a Dane when I see a top class rider regularly attacking 40-50 k out like he usually does in the classics (actually a lot further, usually) and on parcours like today!

Never knew he was born in Suisse, do you know the backstory to that @RedheadDane ?

I assume that's where his parents were living at the time... don't know the exact details.
Of why they were living in Suisse.

I believe his father was working for CERN at the time, but I don't know how long that employment lasted. I don't think they live there for long after JF was born.

Yeah, from what I understand, Fuglsang definitely grew up in Silkeborg.
Not like Juul-Jensen, who lived in Ireland until he was 16.
Or Wandahl, who still lives in Sweden.

Perfect race for Pedersen to try to win all 5 stages + GC. Started well.

My god, I thought you guys were talking about Mads Pedersen. Lmao. I hope he isnt! Was obviously talking about Mads' dad and Mads' relationship.

The initial "JF", and the fact that we were talking about someone who was born in Switzerland didn't clue you in?

I'm pretty sure he was born in the US to Swedish parents. Or the other way around.

Nope. Tølløse.
Or maybe a bigger town, dunno if Tølløse has a hospital, and grew up in Tølløse.
There is clearly no Danish infighting, as I have taken their citizenships, so they're no longer Danes.
Now I'm definitely taking your citizenship!

No, but he did live there for a short while.
I don't think that he has any USA ties, but we will gladly take him!

Underrated parcours. It's actually more selective than the Renewi Tour since they skipped their Ardennes stage.
Enjoyed the circuit with Helligpeder. The climb isn't overly tough, but the struggle for position and the narrow, sharp bend will almost always cause a breakaway.

Happy to see Kubis way up there yesterday.
It would be good to see Jakobsen performing well today.
