The danish Mads Pedersen (Lidl Trek), first leader of Dauphinehighlighted the work of his team to successfully finish the sprint in Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule, where the Spaniard stood out Carlos Verona.
“I’ve said many times that I like racing in France, from the small races to the big races, there are always well organized and enjoyable races, so it’s good to keep winning. Carlos Verona made a very good sprint strategy and then Toms Skujins and Ryan Gibbons had the energy to accelerate. They brought me to perfection,” commented the first leader.
A victory that for the Danish world champion in 2019 represents the eighth of a successful season, with important victories such as Ghent Wevelgem and the general in the Tour of Provence and Estrella de Besseges.
“Every victory gives you more confidence and I always try to win races. Maybe I’ll try to win another stage this Dauphiné season, but I don’t think I will tomorrow because it’s hard to finish. Being the leader, no one will allow me to run,” he explained.
It wasn’t until the fifth period that Pedersen would get another chance to show off his speed. Meanwhile, generally work for other colleagues.
“Tomorrow there will be mountains but we will control it out of respect for the yellow jersey, and we also have some options for general that we should protect. That will be my job until the fifth episode,” he concluded.
