Agger

Paris-Roubaix is next in line!

Texas that's getting closer and closer to being a battlegrond state?

2 days, two 3rd places. Decent Danish start though Birdie will be pretty much alone in the toughes mountains.

Disasterous start for Astana. That's the 2 strongest climbers along Fuglsang out of the race!

Just typical. Liverpool going to Denmark and we'll by all means be unable to go as away fans

FC Midtjylland qualifying! What a present from the VAR room giving them an extra penalty kick after the foot of the keeper just leaving the line. If that's gonna be the way now, I feel like we'll see a bunch of retaken penalties in the future!

Really says it all! I'll just say that I'll never complain about Danish debates again. Biden dodged the traps that Trump tried to put out (especially trying to make Biden seem like a part of the radical left). No doubt that he didn't seem all too strong. He didn't make major gaffes (though he was a bit incoherent from time to time) and I do to some point like his way going into the debate, but a stronger debater would have destroyed Trump today (but the again, Clinton did very well in the debates and that didn't help at all)

Some Olympic fencing champion somehow made it to the race.

Some pretty massive MeToo-things going on in Denmark, sadly including the world of politics where more than 300 women who are or have been active in politics have signed a letter stating that they've been targets of sexism including 79 specific stories ranging from offensive comments to actual sexual assault. I know and trust plenty of those women making it hurt even more to read the stories feeling extremely blind about what has been going on (I knew of a few specific stories but really didn't think it was at this extent) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54246009

Youtube didn't want to pay enough per play to satisfy KODA who collects money for Danish artists.

I'll go for the stroopwafeln and beer instead! Oh and... will do their best to participate. We'll see how when it comes to finding the best way for people to hear the song.

I'm in no way the right person to consider the mental health of the presidential candidates, but there are some major problems about Trump's personality. When even the "leader" of Danes for Trump says that he's an idiot it does say something (he likes his political ideas and results, though). A man who really seems more like a child when told that he is wrong (and fires everybody who aren't ready to lick his boots). Whenever somebody challenges him, he answers with either lies or claims about fake news, he has an obsession with how people see him and has no trouble treading on others. Biden certainly isn't without weaknesses and I would hope for a stronger candidate 8though I'm without doubt more positive than most others in this thread). He does have his gaffers (but he has for a long time, not just after getting old) just like Trump (who certainly don't correct them either). Though it's a clear sign of the way things are moving in the US (and sadly several other democratic countries) it is saddening how little things become about politics and so much about a single person.

Are we really gonna have a highly questionable extremely right wing biased media as one of the main sources for this thread?

Mads Pedersen, Søren Kragh and Magnus Cort were all pretty damn good juniors and I would dare say that they've all had pretty decent breakthroughs

Not so long ago you would have said the same about the Danish

And Tour de l'Avenir the year before. With not Tour of California this year, everything is set for a Norwegian winner next year!

Well. It does follow your country's love of it's national anthem and the pledge of allegiance!

Oh well. Seems like they make it with time to spare!

Meanwhile the big hunt for the time limit is on! Considering the names more than 20 minutes after the lead, it's gonna be tough!

Hey, don't fuck with Mørkøv! But well, those first stages usually give the jersey to non-climbers.

Meanwhile it's still one of the top sprinters leading the pack ... What is this?

I feel like you're missing Bouhanni...
