Beast mode for @Mads__Pedersen 🔥 #BemerCyclassics
"We'll see how long I can keep this up" - Mads Pedersen takes victory at BEMER Cyclassics the day after winning the Tour of Denmark

After securing the overall victory at the Tour of Denmark with a phenomenal time-trial on Saturday, Mads Pedersen continued his winning run at the BEMER Cyclassics on Sunday in thrilling fashion.
Heading into the final kilometre, a three-man breakaway of Brandon McNulty, Yves Lampaert and Nils Politt held a narrow advantage over the peloton. Sensing the chase wasn't getting anywhere, Pedersen went into 'Beast Mode' and decided to take matters into his own hands and attacked off the front of the bunch and launched a one-man chase to ultimate victory.
“The three guys still had a lead going into the last kilometre," Pedersen recapped in his post-race interview. “I just wanted to cross because I didn't know if we would catch them in the sprint. I went full throttle and didn't know what was happening behind me. Danny van Poppel, (who finished second, ed.) came from behind pretty quickly, but luckily it was enough to take the win.”
“I wouldn't say unbeatable, but the form is good. During the Tour we were already working on a good form to go to the World Championships," he explains. "We'll take that with us now. We'll see how long I can keep this up. From now on, we'll just keep going until it breaks. We try to get the most out of it until I snap.”

- 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
