Pedersen top ten in Helsingør
The last stage of the Danmark Rundt scheduled a completely flat and non-technical 16.1km individual time trial, and Soudal Quick-Step was again prominent, after the pair of victories that Fabio Jakobsen racked up on the previous days of the competition.
One of the early starters, Josef Cerny put up a solid ITT that allowed him to go into the hot seat for an hour, before his result was improved by one of the home riders. Later into the stage, it was the turn of Casper Pedersen to show again what he’s capable of on a course like this, and the Dane didn’t disappoint, producing a solid effort that netted him seventh on the stage classification in Helsingør.
It was the 27-year-old’s third top ten of the season in an individual time trial, after the ones in Tirreno-Adriatico and the Belgium Tour, at the latter finishing third on the GC thanks to his skills against the clock.
