"Winning in the yellow jersey doesn't happen often" - Magnus Cort Nielsen continues dominance at O Gran Camiño 2025 with second stage win
CyclingThursday, 27 February 2025 at 18:30
For Uno-X Mobility's Magnus Cort Nielsen, everything is going pretty well at the moment. The Danish star took his second win in as many days on Thursday afternoon, dominating in an uphill sprint finish to stage 2 of O Gran Camiño 2025.
"Two in a row is fantastic. Winning in the yellow jersey doesn't happen often," the much-loved moustachioed star reflected in his post-stage interview afterwards, full of praise for his teammates, having actually been dropped by a Derek Gee attack on the penultimate climb. "The team did a great job for me today. They brought me back after the climb and set me up perfectly for the sprint."
"I knew it was perfect for me today. The end was even better for me today than yesterday and there was only half a field left," continues the 32-year-old. "Tomorrow I will give everything to defend the jersey."

- Shabby article, he is also still hoping for an Olympic (gold I guess) medal and he could not defend his road WC jersey as he already lost it, at most he could have tried reconquering it but that would have been tricky anyway in Rwanda (no news since a while but I have a question regarding that, if it would be decided late on to change the venue (meaning we’d maybe have a very different course), would any originally non participants get any chances to opt in?)Mistermaumau17-04-2025
- yes, the position of Wout is more complicated, many more factors.
maria2024202417-04-2025 - so excited about thismij17-04-2025
- Maybe Wout isn’t made for peaking so many times a year, few others have years like that. This winter was different due to accidents but if I were him and wanted to get some monuments I’d go on a cyclocross hiatusMistermaumau17-04-2025
- Well, one of those years that was less than 4 minutes, which over 86 hours makes less than 0,1% or about 4 seconds per hour. I don’t know about you but when I ride the same bike over the same path on two different days for an hour, I can’t tell if I’m faster or slower unless it’s by a minute, maybe 30 seconds if I really really pay attention, and he was pretty sure about noticing the difference, for me that sounds bigger than 4s/hour.Mistermaumau17-04-2025
- It appears so, TDF LEGEND BETTER ON RECOVERY AND SHORTER RACES NO SHAME BUT JUST DIFF MACHINE :)TOBY8017-04-2025
- If I were his “agent” I’d approach him personally and not go through a media backdoor ;-)Mistermaumau17-04-2025
- Yes, BUT, often there are already thoughts sown and the crash is just a trigger. With Wout? Feeling ageing, getting bored, girlfriend pressure, legal case depression, lost hope in rivalry with MVDP, no clear position in team, no vision for his future, outside pressure, media/paparazzi, there are soooo many things that could be starting to get to him too much.Mistermaumau17-04-2025
- Yeah but you know old habits die hard, some always forget there’s a whole other gender out there who often outdo men in certain aspects.Mistermaumau17-04-2025
- If it's true, it's very sad. Generally, when a cyclist reaches this point of being afraid of falling, they usually end up retiring after a short time.maria2024202417-04-2025
