    Cycling: Mads Pedersen won Gent – Wewelgem again

    ·

    Jesper Skeel

    Mads P, as he is known by Danes, was reigning champion and favourite to win again, but this win was remarkable, and exceeded his own expectations.

    After 190 Kilometers and with 60 Kilometers to go, Pedersen said goodbye to his break away group, and launched his solo mission.

    The Danish Lidl-Trek captain quickly got momentum, and with 35 kilometers to go he had a 2:00 min lead, which was enough to keep the chasing peloton away, as he faced the wind.

    Mads Pedersen succeeded and crossed the finish line first with the peloton 49 seconds behind.

    After the win Pedersen concluded with a smile:

    “Now, I know how Tadej (Pogacar red.) and Mathieu (Van der Poel red.) feel,” referring to two fellow cycling stars, known for their long solo rides.

    The win was Mads Pedersen’s third victory in Gent – Wewelgem

    Former minister charged with possessing child abuse material

    ·

    The Copenhagen Post

    A sensational and spectacular case hit Danish politics on Friday.

    A former minister has been charged with possessing extensive child abuse material and a child sex doll, Berlingske reports.

    Berlingske and Ritzau are aware of the man’s identity but are not mentioning the man by name. He has requested a name-for-hire ban on the case.

    According to Berlingske, the man denies the charges.

    The charge concerns possession of sexual material such as photographs, films or the like with children under the age of 18.

    According to Berlingske, the man is said to have purchased access to the material online.

    According to Berlingske, the material is very extensive and of a particularly gross nature.

    In addition, the former minister is charged with possessing child sex dolls, which has been banned since 2022.

    Possession of child abuse material and a child sex doll is punishable by a fine or up to one year in prison.

    Neither the prosecution nor the police district that investigated the case against the former minister will comment on the case to Berlingske.
