On September 24, the Danish national team will try to help Mads Pedersen win the European Championships in Drenthe, when the elite men will compete over 199.8 kilometers.
"We are fielding a really sharp team for a relatively flat route. The team is built to support Mads as best as possible," explains national coach Anders Lund in a press release.
"He is currently the best Danish rider in a sprint, but for Mads it is only an advantage that the Col du VAM contributes to it not being a sprint with fresh legs."
Denmark lineup for European Championships:
Mads Pedersen, Casper Pedersen, Andreas Kron, Michael Mørkøv, Mikkel Bjerg (also ITT), Mathias Norsgaard, Johan Price Pejtersen (only ITT), Christopher Juul-Jensen and Tobias Lund Andresen
