“When we crossed the finish line, I knew I had won, but it was a long sprint and this uphill finish was really painful, so I almost gave up with 50 meters to go, and he was so close to the goal. It was difficult , but it doesn’t matter if you win in two meters or one centimeter”, said the 2019 world champion.
Pedersen (Tollose, 27 years old) he emphasized his team’s approach to work, on a day marked for sprinters.
“We didn’t know this morning if there would be a breakaway or a sprint, but it seems like the sprint teams don’t want to be a breakaway, so we kept calm and the teammates did a perfect stage, and in the finish with a very long sprint I still had the legs to achieve success”, he explained.
