A new season and Mads P is back doing Mads P things. 6 wins from 8 race days (inc. two GC wins, not inc. two points jerseys). Took a stage and overall at Besseges, then the prologue, two stages and overall in Provence. Hasn't placed outside the top ten yet this season.
OK, they're only small warm-up races and he's not racing the best the peloton has to offer, but nice to get off to a good start, and one wet stage in Provence was an absolute monstering

In other viking news, and only because we all like to be kept up to date on the fortunes of some specific Danish riders that might otherwise fly under the radar, Frederik Muff became the Danish e-cykling championship on Zwift

A decent week for the Vikings, Vingegaard taking two stages solo to win T-A by a minute and a half (admittedly with less than stellar competition) and Skjelmose taking a stage and 4th in Paris-Nice (Mads P disappointed with 2 second places to Klooij)

On the "One to watch" list, 21 yr old Danish u23 champion ('22 & '23) Rasmus Søjberg Pedersen took the last two stages and 2nd overall at the Olympia's Tour in The Netherlands, riding for Decathlon AG2R Development. It's a flat stage race dominated by the wind. They were his first pro wins. Though only a 2.2 the race was packed with WT Dev teams, so the startlist was full of up and coming riders (overall winner was everyone's favourite German, Tim Torn Teutenberg)
On the "One's we're already watching" Mads P won Gent-Wevelgem in a two up sprint with MvdP, having worked him over nicely with his team.

Forgot to mention that another 18 yr old Viking - Peter Øxenberg Hansen - has taken the Col de Rates KOM (the one that got Vingegaard noticed back in the day). Team Colo-Quick thought they were duty bound to get it back after Ayuso took it from Jacob HIndsgaul (retired from racing at 23 due to injury)

This is his first season on the Uno-X team (he's been on their dev team) and looks to be making decent progress
21yr old Simon Dalby (Uno X Development) took 10th
