8 Days Of Racing, 6 Wins. This Is Mad(s)!

We're only a matter of weeks into the road racing season, and Mads Pederson has produced ridiculous results from his last 8 races... winning 6 of them! From GC to sprint finishes, he can truly do it all. Is this just the beginning of a promising season for the Lidl-Trek sprinter? In other news, Lotte Kopecky, another incredibly versatile rider, powered her way to an overall UAE tour win and Evenepoel makes his first appearance of the season!

Do you think Pederson can grab a monument win? 🚴🏻‍♂

[@kimpedersen]

PedersEn ;)

[@whatwelearned]

His form will dip by the spring classics, I think, but he's always a good outside bet

[@OfficialTomsSkujinsFanClub]

@@whatwelearnedby the spring classics? so in a month?

[@whatwelearned]

@@OfficialTomsSkujinsFanClub 6 weeks for the big 2, yes. Form isn't infinite. However, Mads was the only name in the field so it could be that he isn't peaking yet

[@dutchy1645]

No, only MVDP and Pogi will win monuments this year

[@6ft8incyclist]

That was Nuts. Dan Loyld.😂

[@spokemagnet19-zs9de]

Oh how I miss GCN Plus!

[@gordonlevine2143]

so manyof us agree

[@Cycling_zebra]

Same 😢

[@paulhartman3118]

Hey Dan, such a class act to always undersell your self. You have had a career that mere mortals are envious of you!

[@daniellloyd100]

Thanks Paul.

[@Philip_Hatchet]

I have always thought that if Wout van Aert did not exist, Mads Pedersen would have been one of the gods of cycling. However, Wout does everything Mads can but just slightly better. This could be the year where Mads gets the upper hand though, lets hope.

[@Bobbyboy1976]

Shame we don’t have GCN plus to watch this great racing on! Missing so much racing this year. 😢

[@jeffcell282002]

We want gcn commenting in racings please…that flobikes guys sucks.

[@johnsails5436]

Love this show, best start to the week 😊

[@stevenporter9484]

Always love & look forward to the weekly updates nicely done, cheers

[@daniellloyd100]

Thanks Steven.

[@glasgowsheep1980]

Love the show. Seems a shame Dan has nobody to talk to. How about having a couple of guests on to chat to like the weekly GCN plus show

[@Judewilkinsonjfk]

I like having Dan's undivided attention personally

[@glennmanifold6345]

Disagree. This show is a news format and works well without discussion

[@melaniamonicacraciun9900]

Keep up be strong & love pushing pedals, cycling makes life worth living, fans are always here to encourage you the best we can ❤🎉❤

[@rabk3]

Ahh You got with the that was nuts comment. Well done and thank you for the laugh.

[@mstrasser]

Lotte Kopecky is just next level. It's frightening to see her performing this well, especially on parcours she "shouldn't" be good at. Not sure who's more scared. The peloton or Demi Vollering! (or Lars, Anna or Danny for having. to pick the team!) EDIT: mad ethis comment at the start, looks liek Dan. moreor less made it too!

[@whatwelearned]

I wonder how she and Vollering are so strong

[@mstrasser]

@@whatwelearned i hope you're not insinuating doping...there's no proof or history of anything like that. same why other riders are so good and strong (Pog, VDP, Wout). Sports science is so advanced now, training, what when how to eat etc. This (and great genes) is how riders are so great now not doping. At least I'm inclined to always go that way

[@whatwelearned]

I am MASSIVELY implying doping and I find people who think like you to be extraordinarily naive@@mstrasser

[@mstrasser]

@@whatwelearned 🙄 it must suck going through life like that - being so suspicious and glass half empty. I genuinely feel bad

[@whatwelearned]

@@mstrasser Whether cyclists are doping doesn't affect my joy so not really. If you know anything about cycling history and statistics then you understand the likelihood of things.

[@AlessioPunzi]

“That was 🌰 🌰 nuts”

[@weeki_wachee]

Incredible the ways I come to miss Dan's voice, since the demise of GCN+. And on a daily basis, I must confess.

[@timthelanternerouge]

ATTN: Priority One issue. I'm in Australia, where can I stream live racing? Will the GCN+ subscription come back soon 🤞🏾🙏

[@eddydewilde4958]

Looks like Remco is ready to kick ass!

[@daniellloyd100]

He's not looking too bad is he?!!

[@molucas3797]

yeah pederson's form atm is setting him up for a win in one of the one day spring classics......or maybe more, good to have good form at start of season, cav also hopefully is showing form but the test will be when up against a stronger sprinting teams, but he has to get his form to peak at the tour if he is to take the record for most stage wins, he's gotta reallu nail fown as competipn is strong as alwsys this year.

[@01FozzyS]

I didn't recognize Gaviria in that picture. lol

[@Ih8GoogleandApple]

Mads is a one man wrecking crew

[@AlessioPunzi]

Why so little footage from Colombia?

[@World_of_cycling]

You're going to post highlights of the races here, right?

[@countryseller]

Moviestar need to take their team to podium celebration camp. Aka. How to swiftly open the celebration champagne!

[@creedjm]

"That was nuts".... smh hahaha

[@mrloop1530]

His name is Mads Pedersen

[@michaelsherwin4449]

I think that some racing strategy demonstration video's would be very interesting. It would not have to be real racing just some type of simulation

[@whatwelearned]

That stage two win by Pederson was embarrassing for everyone else; they all sucked his wheel for 15km and still couldn't even keep on his wheel during the sprint. Hope they got reamed by their DSs

[@Mohamett02]

Well it was pretty clear that pulling would have not helped them in this case

[@whatwelearned]

I hope they enjoyed their minor placings@@Mohamett02

[@user-ol3pm4sl6d]

🇩🇰🇩🇰Go Mads 💪🏻🇩🇰🇩🇰

[@DavidFritzIII]

Any chance gcn+ is coming back? Please take my money!

[@jayaybe1]

Whew! When did Mads turn into Sean Kelly ?

[@andrasszabo1570]

When he isn't riding against the big boys...

[@normal_norm2627]

Help. Where are my American friends getting cycling now that GCN+ is not available? Or is it available if you use a VPN? Help please.

[@daniellloyd100]

Hi there - they've just launched cycling on the Max service in the US. My understanding is that it will have all the live cycling that GCN+ was previously able to show in the USA. Dan

[@normal_norm2627]

@@daniellloyd100 Thanks Dan. I'll have to find what the heck that is. Btw, out of all the commentators I listened to I gotta say YOU were the best. You had experience, knew what you were talking about, had the occasional joke and are just good at doing it. I'm still really sad I can't get GCN+. Cheers bud

[@richm.3477]

It looks like Gaviria is putting the mo in Movistar.

[@fernandovillarreal4982]

In Australia... What's best channel to watch cycling now no GCN+?

[@JonCannings]

New hairbrush Dan? Or different product?

[@gcnracing]

New wig...... Dan

[@JonCannings]

@@gcnracing I'd love to buy the old one 😂

[@dilligaf2818]

World champ Kopeki no jersey ??

[@daniellloyd100]

She was in one of the classification leader's jerseys on that stage. Dan

[@frederikfoss4594]

PedersEEEEEEn

[@dutchy1645]

Let's be real, Mads is not gonna beat MVDP or Pogi in a monument

[@isitrachelorj3953]

Tough uphill finish at last years TDF, I think stage 8, Mads beat all the best, MVDP WVA, POGS, Philipson and Groenevagan. Give him credit for being the only mortal racing in the mvdp, wva, pogs world.

[@holmbjerg]

Pogi can't beat Mads in races Pogi is not even in. San Remo is the only time in the spring they'll even meet.

[@johnandrews3568]

So Dan, the first stage in Columbia was REALLY on day 1? Astute observation. No wonder they pay you the big bucks. 🤣

[@daniellloyd100]

🤣

[@lorenzodibernardini8891]

It's COLOMBIA not Columbia
