"We have a strong team here" - Mads Pedersen delighted by Lidl-Trek one-two in Tour de la Provence prologue
CyclingThursday, 08 February 2024 at 15:53
Mads Pedersen continued his blistering start to the season in the prologue of the Tour de la Provence on Thursday afternoon in France. The Lidl-Trek star took the win ahead of teammate, Jakob Söderqvist.
“It went very well, this is a good start to the race,” reflected Pedersen, who last week took overall victory at the Etoile de Bessèges, in his post-stage interview. “I think we can be happy with me in first place and Jakob in second place. It's a beautiful day."
With three more stages to follow in the coming days and with confidence understandably flowing within Pedersen, the 28-year-old is favourite to add another general classification to his triumph by the end of the week.
“Tomorrow is another stage. It looks like it's going to rain and it can get quite heavy, with a lot of uphill and downhill. Of course we are going for another victory. We have a strong team here and we must definitely go for the win. That's why we're here,” assesses Pedersen of his chances.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
