==Other information== During stage 5 of the 2024 Tour de France, as Mark Cavendish was just about to secure his record-breaking 35th stage win, Mads Pedersen crashed into a barrier and fell full length onto the road. Zingle, who had just completed his sprint lead-out duties but was still riding at high speed immediately behind, bunny hopped over him and rode over the finishing line. Pedersen escaped serious injury<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/too-fast-to-brake-the-bunny-hop-that-stopped-axel-zingle-crashing-into-mads-pedersen/ |title=‘Too fast to brake’ – The bunny hop that stopped Axel Zingle crashing into Mads Pedersen |first=Simone |last=Giuliani |website=Cycling News |date=4 July 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://cyclinguptodate.com/cycling/video-mads-pedersen-crashes-in-final-sprint-and-axel-zingle-bunny-hops-over-him-at-65kmh |title=Mads Pedersen crashes in final sprint...
