Mads Pedersen: "A perfect day"

March 14 ^th 2025 - 16:36

“After such a tough day it’s of course nice to win. It would have been a pity to  be 2nd or 3rd. It’s really nice to take a victory with the team and Mattias Skjelmose moves up in GC. For us, it was a perfect day. No one likes to race with 5-6 degrees and rain. It was a tough day. I don’t care when it’s weather like this but I don’t really enjoy it… Now I enjoy, after the win! I did a long sprint but Tarling is so strong… You never take him out of the equation, even in a sprint like this. Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you win by half a centimetre or half a metre! I knew if we’d come here with Tim Merlier in a clean sprint, it would be hard to win so this was ideal.”
