Former schoolmates about Jonas :
"We always called him 'Little Skid,' because he was small and frail. He took it very well, because he himself knew that he was small"
"He has always been very caring, but also very, very sensitive. He was prone to tears - both when he was happy and when he was sad. But you still see that today when he is on television"
"Jonas played both handball and football. He was very athletic, but there wasn't much meat on him. But he thought it was fun, and it was a good way to be social"

Simon Geschke Propaganda
Personal: Simon Geschke is an old man with a magnificent beard, born in East-Berlin (a soft pisces with a fiery aries moon, we stan a king) and despite living in the south of Germany for a while now he never lost his perfect accent and his dry pragmatic way of looking at the world. He is vegan and has a french bulldog (which...okay...), and his favorite hobby is fiddling with his Schwalbe, a vintage GDR scooter.
Professional: The son of a track cycling world champion probably learned to bike before he learned to walk. Now he rides for Cofidis as a mountain specialist and helper for Guillaume Martin. Biggest moment was gaining the polka dot jersey in the 2022 Tour de France. He held it for nine days and did a special and adorable video for KIKA, the kid's channel, where he counted all the dots on the jersey for the kids. There are 75 dots. Here is the video:
Mattias Skjelmose Propaganda (provided by poll-runner)
Personal: Heās a super lovely guy with an adorable smile, looks like an elf, likes a cheeky bit of gossip and has no filter, great friends with Mads Pedersen.
One time he crashed and fell 15m down a ravine, climbed back up himself and yelled āIām fine, just give me a new bikeā which is just. Insane to me
Professional: Heās had a really interesting journey as a rider. He was on top of the world as a junior, rivalling Remco Evenepoel, but was a total dick. Then he got banned for doping because he took some contaminated dietary supplements. Came back a year later and then signed to Trek-Segafredo (much to the irritation of Mads Pedersen, who knocked on Mattiasā hotel room door and asked him why he should believe he had changed, but found himself pleasantly surprised by the type of guy Mattias now was) and now heās thirteenth on the individual UCI ranking. Rouleur did a great article on him:
