CyclingMonday, 17 June 2024 at 16:30
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?"

- Chris Horner’s opinion is valid and shouldn’t be dismissed just because he’s allegedly a doper. His opinions have sound judgement and definitely make sense to me. I prefer his opinions to others who haven’t raced in their life!!PogiFan2Day28-01-2026

- Having trained on French roads for hours without pro riders in vicinity, yet seeing them near the end of rides in passing, it must be said this story is lacking context details. Public roads are for the public. If teams wish for private access, they should get permits for road closures. Otherwise, hire sweeper riders to shadow the pros and discuss rules of the road with non-team riders who are sharing the roads.itsent28-01-2026
- Perhaps they were closer to start with? But the rider who simply offered his help was gracious about Jonas reacting with annoyance to him.Hills3327-01-2026
- I watched the video on Twitter (X): the amateur cyclist was not on his wheel; at all. There was more than 100-150 meters between them. Maybe Jonas overreacted?
maria2024202427-01-2026 - Then another cyclist's offer of help was brushed away. It is not hard to empathise with Jonas, whose ride was ruined. But I can't help wondering if the journalists who are now asking amateurs to stay away from all top riders would have been as understanding if the top rider involved was Pogacar.Hills3327-01-2026
- His anger wasn't justified? What kind of a thought is that? The few times I've crashed I can't remember getting up and saying " Gee that was fun I think I'll do that again".Bianchiboy7127-01-2026
- I don't want some random jackass coming out of nowhere and sucking my wheel on a fast, technical descent either.mrvco27-01-2026
