Mads Pedersen will be Denmark's designated leader for European Championships
CyclingThursday, 14 September 2023 at 10:00
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

- when he says hit the trails, is that with his wrist, head or some other body part?mij28-05-2025
- Maybe they’re all domestiques, great performers in the background who crack under the spotlight? There are personality traits that matter required to perform well under differing conditions, like the smartest people who mess up during exams when it really matters, am sure teams test for and know this and decide accordingly.Mistermaumau28-05-2025
- Yes, Almedia is brilliant but if you're a fan of Almeida, his slow build up on the climb will put you on the edge of the chair. You just don't know if he is being dropped or doing his own pacing.
KerisVroom28-05-2025 - Ok, you’ve said it 7 different ways but what about adding some journalistic value to opinion and actually going to interview a relevant person about this? Try asking some revealing questions like whether he feels/ felt up to the task, why he sticks around if he’s hungry for leadership, whether his recent spate of rare wins has changed his outlook, whether he has ever asked or been refused leadership, etc. It’s all very well pointing out the obvious but usually there IS a reason for it, maybe a more interesting discussion and opinionising subject would be the REASON and not the fact?Mistermaumau28-05-2025
- Almeida is like Landa. Dignified and brilliant and impossible not to admire.Renz28-05-2025

- Wish Joao Almeida was in this UAE team for the Giro instead of Ayuso.Lobz7728-05-2025
- All of UAE's other leaders have this problem, they are strong but they just cannot win a GT or a monument without Pogi.abstractengineer28-05-2025
- If his fight was for GC, he could have worked together with Carapaz when Carapaz caught up to him. But he just sat behind his wheel and didn't pull, so I thought he might be on his limit. Then, he attacked at the top. Working together with Carapaz could have been beneficial for both GC goals, a win-win. I have no idea about his thought process.KerisVroom28-05-2025
