Paying The Danegeld ***Spoilers***

[Shadow]

Did someone win the points jersey at the Tour? Why yes, yes they did. Did they do it by ATTACKING ON THE COL DE LA CROIX DE FER?! A HORSE CAT CLIMB?! Why yes again, yes they did. Was that person Mads Pedersen? Yes again, how on earth did you guess? You know the result because it happened weeks ago and I've been banging on about it ever since but somehow forgot to update the thread? Oh. OK. Fair enough then. Did you know he won a stage as well? Oh, fine, fine. And that he has now completed the Grand Tour Sprint Jersey collection? Yes, yes, you know already. But did you know that only five other riders have ever achieved that honour - Djamolidine Abdoujaparov, Mark Cavendish, Laurent Jalabert, Eddy Merckx and Alessandro Petacchi? There are more riders who've won all three GTs.

It is wonderful you are such a Mads fanboy, otherwise we would just not know this elucidating stuff. Truly impressive. Thank you. 😎
