Casper Pedersen settling in well at Soudal - Quick-Step: "Changing your environment is always difficult because you have to rebuild from scratch"

One of the newest additions to the Soudal - Quick-Step lineup in 2023, Casper Pedersen has revealed how well he has already settled in well at his new team and is determined to repay the faith shown in him.

"I was nervous about racing for the first time with the team, but it was really nice to wear this jersey," the former Paris-Tours winner explained in a recent team press conference. "My form is good, it's always hard to say because it's so early in the season."

"I'm not in top form yet, but a lot of guys aren't," Pedersen reveals. One of the main reasons the former Team DSM rider elected to move on from his past employers to the Soudal-Quick-Step set up was his belief that he would be able to develop at a much greater pace, something he is already feeling the benefits of.

"I think the training camps in Calpe went well, first of all getting to know the riders and the staff. Also, on the bike, I felt great with the guys. My progress has been good, as we had hoped. So far I'm really happy with the last few weeks. Changing your environment is always difficult because you have to rebuild from scratch. But I'm quite outgoing, so I fitted in quickly."
