VIDEO | Not just a stage winner... Mads Pedersen gets to shave teammate's head after Giro d'Italia win
CyclingSaturday, 10 May 2025 at 13:46
"100% commitment to the team, 100% commitment to the bet" said the Lidl-Trek post shared this morning, in which Jacopo Mosca readily had his head shaven by Mads Pedersen himself after the Dane won stage 1 of the Giro d'Italia and also a bet with his teammate.
The 31-year old is racing his fifth Giro d'Italia and it started off perfectly for the team who executed the plan of the day to perfection, dropping most sprinters from the peloton on the day's climbs and then leading out the Dane to perfection in order to take the win.
After the stage there was nothing but a celebratory mood in the team, and with this also came the outcome of a bet between the two.
100% commitment to the team 🤝

- Us old folks can't do extreme sport like the youngsters anymore. RIP.
KerisVroom30-05-2025 - The mood was very different a week ago. UAE pulled him back at the expense of Del Toro's lead. If he couldn't pull ahead, the fault doesn't lie with the team. Is it his fault then? Not so, he crashed and couldn't recover. There is a very, very slim chance for him to win a GT even if he rides for another team if Pogacar is riding (barring accident). Anyway, he isn't going anywhere. UAE has a golden cage for him until the end of 2028. Good luck finding a team with financial prowess to pry him from his UAE contract.KerisVroom30-05-2025
- RIP Ludo Dierckxsens.
santiagobenites30-05-2025 - Agreed. We don’t know the kinds words that might have been said prior/after the stage. But during the race they need to attend to the riders in the race.mij30-05-2025
- Not reading anything negative in Mr. Plugge's comments. His job is to observe and support his rider and team and to market their team, and that's what his statements do, without anything disparaging against the competition. One can twist the comments to appear negative if one chooses, but why?itsent30-05-2025
- Christ woman, you're as cold hearted as UAE! ;/
leedorney30-05-2025 - They were probably too preoccupied with the task at hand. If I'm busy, I may forget to extend courtesy due to negligence. The commentator is probably a bit too sensationalized. I'm sure someone will comfort him once things settle down. Yes, a pat is free and nice.KerisVroom29-05-2025
- The team is right. If he is unable to see clearly he is a danger to not only himself but the entire pelaton. It sucks for him no doubt but one rider finishing a race isn't more important than the safety of othersHoopoeChai29-05-2025
- The only thing I know about Ayuso is that he wobbles in big races all the time. He's young though and not everyone develops at the rate of Tadej. On UAE he will probably be a super domestique only.awp29-05-2025
- If the mistake is made by many, that doesn't mean it's not a mistake. Obviously, pure objectivity doesn't exist, but if you're a communicator you should at least try instead falling into fanatic sentimentality.

Now I know Mads Pederson is a very talented hairstylist. I should have gone for this sort of hairstyle just for fun.
