Tour of Denmark 2025 (12/8 - 16/8)

[E_F_]

And for similar reasons, Finland's inclusion as 'Nordic' is at best dubious.

Hell nah, man. Finland is culturally Nordic - and also historically; literally just a part of Sweden for ages.

And it means that there is, as far as the UCI is concerned and therefore cycling records, no such thing as a Faroese of Greenlandic cyclist.

The Island Games are not UCI sanctioned? Pretty sure that when a guy like Torkil Veyhe participated in the Island Games, he did so as Faroese.
(And I think there are other similar examples; just think of what they get up to during the Commonwealth Games!)

Danish tv goes to an interview right as something happens...

Who was that even? (I have the sound on Czech Tour.)

Are you sure?

The only "associate member" lol. Says Faroe Islands (DEN) on the list...

Just some lady who lives on Kiddesvej. She was asked if she has people knock on her door in the hopes of using her bathroom.

Ah, okay. In loads of sports though, they do participate as their own federation.

 

[E_F_]

Article 6 Associate members
1. The federation of a territory which does not fulfil the requirements of
Article 5.3 and which belongs to a country with a national federation
may be granted associate membership, subject to the agreement of
such national federation.
2. The rights and obligations of associate members shall be exclusively
set out in a joint agreement between the associate member, the
national federation concerned, the continental confederation(s)

the right to:
a) attend the UCI’s Congress;
b) take part in competitions organised by the continental
confederation where its capital lies;
c) take part in UCI’s assistance, development and solidarity
programmes.

I think this means, that we could have a national championship up there, with the sole aim of getting Jonas Vingegaard in the Dannebrog-jersey.

I hope she always says no, unless it's Alaphilippe or Dumoulin.

 

[RedheadDane]

Meanwhile, Half-Greenlandic Matias Malmberg is in the front, of the race.

What have Lidl-Trek brought upon themselves lmao

Roughly 80 % of the inhabitants in Greenland speaks a Scandinavian language, afaik.
Less than 10 % of the inhabitants in Finland speaks a Scandinavian language, afaik.

Language . . . culture . . . geography . . . history, all are different frames for what makes something "-ian" or "-ic". It's pretty commonly understood which countries are considered the Baltic countries, but their languages are not similar.

lmao Mads P. getting a puncheur leadout on the lame side of Højen Skovvej.

 

[Samamba]

Lidl and Pedersen just trolling

 

[Velolover2]

67 km out

 

[RedheadDane]

Yeah, Mads... 68 Ks seem like a reasonable distance...

 

[E_F_]

"Clever" stuff from Uno-X

I suppose they could be attempting to bait Mads into burying himself too soon... ... ...

 

[Velolover2]

Skjelmose can just counter every move from the peloton.

The vast majority of the population of Central and South America speak Spanish or Portuguese: doesn't make them Iberian.

 

[QueenStagiaire]

Yeah, Levy William Blume is a totally sensible order to read that name in, German ES.

Because there's no single objective criterion for how to group countries and peoples. Egypt is an Arabian country, despite being African and not part of the peninsula.

Not much better on his official UCI profile:

Blume William LEVY

Blume William LEVY

They... sometimes gets confused about Danish names...
(At least Skjelmose isn't listed as "Skjelmose Mattias Skjelmose)

 

[Danskebjerge]

Looks chaotic, but Pedersen is still just 41 sec ahead of the peloton. And who knows how strong he is (after the vacation). 60 k to go is a lot.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Levy Blumeheimer is strong.
