VIDEO: Magnus Cort Nielsen reacts to Tour de France selection in hilarious style
Cycling
For the second time in the team's history Uno-X Mobility will be at the startline of the Tour de France later this month. As they look to secure their first ever Grand Tour stage win, many hopes will rest on the vastly experienced Magnus Cort Nielsen.
After the team's official lineup for 2024 Tour de France was announced on Monday morning, the nine time Grand Tour stage winner took to his official Instagram to post a hilarious reaction to the fact he had been selected for what will be his first Grand Tour for Uno-X Mobility and the 12th three week stage race of his lengthy career.
"Hello guys! I just wanted to come out and say I'm going to the Tour de France," the wonderfully moustachioed 31-year-old smiles after being unzipped from within a Uno-X Mobility bag. "You might be wondering what I'm doing inside my suitcase. Well as you all know, the hotels in France are not always the best, so I thought I would just see if I could stay in the suitcase some days if it is a really rough hotel. See you all at the Tour!"
It didn't take long for the reactions to come for Cort Nielsen's video. Wout van Aert responded with a crying laughing emoji, Tour de Tietema commented "A beginning of a video no one expected. Good luck in the Tour!", whilst the official Uno-X Mobility Instagram account replied with "Can we get a #RoomsAndRatings of this one?"

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
