Mads Pedersen wins Tour of Denmark as he soars to dominant win in final time-trial

Mads Pedersen has stunned the rest of the competition at the Tour of Denmark today, winning the final time-trial by a large margin and displacing Mattias Skjelmose to take the overall win.

Lidl-Trek were the headliners on the day absolutely, with Daan Hoole taking an early lead in the time-trial which proved resilient against strong times, in anticipation for what his leaders were to do later in the afternoon.

Hoole's time was beaten by stage 1 winner Soren Waerenskjold who finished on the same time, but they were no match to Mads Pedersen, who soared through the 16-kilometer race against the clock 22 seconds faster then the duo.

This time was enough to take home the overall classification as his teammate Mattias Skjelmose did not have the legs to match such an immense performance. He defended himself well but lost 45 seconds on the line, finishing second in the GC behind his teammate.
