Safety first

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.

TAKE the race Mads!

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.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Mads Pedersen is a better bike rider than Jonas Vingegaard anyways

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.

Mads' dad is a cool dude, he's really close with him and apparantly often joins in on camps and stuff to motorpace.

Mads' dad is close with Fuglsang's dad?

Mads' dad is close with Fuglsang's dad?

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?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Mads' dad is close with Fuglsang's dad?

As close as Netserk and toby.

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

So, Mads was not born in Switzerland?

 

[tobydawq]

So, Mads was not born in Switzerland?

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

 

[RedheadDane]

So, Mads was not born in Switzerland?

Nope. Tølløse.
Or maybe a bigger town, dunno if Tølløse has a hospital, and grew up in Tølløse.

Danish infighting again, the forum is back!!!!!

There is clearly no Danish infighting, as I have taken their citizenships, so they're no longer Danes.

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

Now I'm definitely taking your citizenship!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

So, Mads was not born in Switzerland?

No, but he did live there for a short while.

 

[jmdirt]

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

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.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

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

 

[tourmabet]

Mads is top3 riders in the world in 2025. Not far from top #2

Monuments: 0. Can't really say he's been better than VdP this season other than at farming.
