Mads Pedersen has unveiled his new rainbow jersey for the first time since winning a first men's road race title for Denmark in Yorkshire.

The Trek-Segafredo rider is racing at the Tour de l'Eurométropole a week after beating Matteo Trentin (Mitchelton-Scott) in Harrogate, where he gives a first outing to his trade team's first ever rainbow jersey.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
