Approaching the Monument which he says suits him the best, Mads Pedersen believes he is in a good position to challenge for Paris-Roubaix victory on Sunday. 

The former world champion was involved in the same brutal crash as Wout van Aert at Dwars door Vlaanderen last week. He was left battered and bruised, but explained that he is almost fully recovered and ready to go again once more on Sunday.

His favourite place that cycling has taken him is Montréal in Canada.
