Mads Pedersen is ready for the Vuelta of Spain and can't wait to face off against Wout van Aert. Tomorrow the Danish cyclist will be at the start of the Vuelta of Spain, one of the most prestigious competitions on the cycling calendar and the last grand tour of the year. In a press conference, Pedersen clarified that he will not consider the Vuelta as preparation for the World Cycling Championships to be held in Canada, revealing a strategic approach to his participation.

One of the most anticipated aspects of the Vuelta will undoubtedly be the confrontation between Pedersen and Belgian Wout van Aert. The two riders have already engaged in memorable battles in the past, and Pedersen doesn't hide his excitement about facing such a caliber opponent once again. "It's always fun to race against Wout", declared the Dane, expressing his respect for his rival's abilities.

Pedersen also analyzed the Vuelta route, stating that he has identified between five and seven stages favorable to him. However, he is aware that some of these sections will be particularly challenging. "I'll need the climbing legs I had in the final week of the Tour", he added, emphasizing the importance of being in top physical condition to face the challenges that await him.

Despite the focus on the Vuelta, Pedersen clarified that he is not using this competition as a springboard for the Montreal World Championships. "The route in Canada is a bit too hard for me - he admitted with extreme candor - I'm here to tackle the various stages and then we'll see if I'll be called upon to wear the national jersey for the World Championships".

This realistic approach demonstrates his willingness to face the race with maximum commitment, without future distractions. With the Vuelta of Spain on the horizon, cycling enthusiasts can expect an exciting battle between Mads Pedersen and Wout van Aert. Pedersen is ready to give his all, tackling each stage with determination and strategy. His presence at the Vuelta promises to further enrich the competition, making every stage an unmissable event. All eyes will be on him, waiting to discover how he will perform against one of the most talented cyclists on the circuit.
