Mads Pedersen wins Gent-Wevelgem
Mads Pedersen powered to a big Classics win on Sunday at Gent-Wevelgem.
On an aggressive day of racing in Flanders, the 2019 world road champ and eight other riders separated themselves from the pack, and then Pedersen joined a quartet that attacked out of the group in the closing kilometers, leaving Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert behind.
In the final sprint, Pedersen convincingly bested Florian Sénéchal and Matteo Trentin to nab the win.
