Mads Pedersen - The best of the 'mortals' in the spring classics
Cycling
With Tadej Pogacar, Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert at another level in the spring classics, Mads Pedersen has confirmed himself as the great alternative to the 'big 3' of the world peloton at the moment in this type of races.
The Dane, who has won a World Championship in 2019, is a fantastic sprinter and a rider who is perfectly suited to all types of classics. He was the main agitator in the Tour of Flanders and had a very solid performance in Paris-Roubaix. He also finished strongly in San Remo. In all 3 monuments he finished at least in the top 6 and there is no doubt that he has one in his legs.
In his career he accumulates a Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne and a Gent-Wevelgem, in addition to his title in Yorkshire.. The Danish Trek-Segafredo rider has a bright future ahead of him.
Spring Mads Pedersen:
- Milan-San Remo - 6th
- E3 Harelbeke - 14th
- Ghent-Wevelgem - 5th
- Across Flanders - 5th
- Tour of Flanders - 3rd
- Paris-Roubaix - 4th

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
