Saturday, September 16: 5th & final stage, Ebeltoft - Aarhus, 198 km

Max Walscheid wins the Tour of Denmark's final stage.

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Max Walscheid's Team Sunweb.

The stage started with an early break of seven riders building a steady lead that grew to over five minutes before the peloton started to reign in their advantage. It wasn’t until the race hit the finishing circuit – to be completed eight times – that the pace behind really picked up, with Team Sunweb lining out the bunch in the final 25km to bring the break back to within touching distance.

With less than 15km to go the front of the race was all back together, sparking a flurry of attacks, but coming into the final few kilometres the race was all back together and set up for a bunch sprint. With a perfect lead-out as the road opened up in front to the finish line, Max pulled clear to take a convincing stage win, rounding out the race in style.

Having gone into the stage in the top five on GC, Lennard Hofstede finished the day in the bunch, cementing his fifth position on GC.

REACTION

Team Sunweb coach Morten Bennekou: “It was a very nice day for the team today because all six riders really contributed with strong efforts. We managed to keep control with the breakaway so that they were caught with only 5km to go and after that we brought Max into a perfect position from where he won the sprint. With two podium spots and a fifth place on the GC we can then look back on a succesfull week in Denmark.”

Max added: “It was a victory where the whole team took part. We took the initiative, showed confidence in ourselves and believed in the lead out as well as in my sprint. It was a big, big effort to catch seven guys back with just Ramon [Sinkeldam] and Max [Kanter] chasing, and Lennard [Kamna] covering attacks.

“The timing in the leadout was really crucial, with a downhill towards the last corner. With Roy’s [Curvers] calmness and Phil’s [Bauhaus] strength in the last 500m we made it first/second through the last corner. After a strong leadout and with 50m to go I knew I would win and took it almost too easy, nearly a big mistake which I could still correct to give the team the result we earned.”

Friday, September 15: Stage 4, Randers 17.8km individual time trial

Mads Pedersen retained his GC lead after the day's time trial

The race: Stage winner Matthias Brandle's Trek-Segafredo team posted this report:

Matthias Brändle dominated the stage four individual time trial, setting the fastest time splits at both intermediate checkpoints to finish with the best time at the PostNord Danmark Rundt Friday.

Brändle was the only rider to finish under 21 minutes, clocking 20 minutes and 57 seconds for the 17.8-kilometer course, and as an early starter had a long, anxious wait in the hot seat.

When the final rider, teammate Mads Pedersen, crossed the line in 21 minutes and 34 seconds, Brändle could finally exhale – the Austrian had captured his second victory this year after what he described as a turbulent season for him.

"I only had one win until now, it has not been the season I wished for," explained Brändle. "I was not selected for the Tour de France, and it was one of the biggest disappointments of my career after I had trained hard and researched the courses with my bike."

"I was here three or four years ago in Denmark, and I was 3rd or 4th in the TT and this time I thought I want to make it better and today I was able to do that," he continued. "Today was a course that suited me pretty well. I went full gas from the beginning, and when I crossed the line, I knew it would be a ride for the win. I was waiting for Mads because he is also really good like he was two weeks ago [Mads Pedersen won the time trial at the Tour of Poitou-Charentes -ed]. I am just super happy it happened, and also that Mads could keep the leader's jersey. It was a good day for the team!"

​While Brändle captured the second straight win for Trek-Segafredo, Mads Pedersen defended his leader's jersey with a strong ride against the clock, finishing within one second of second place Michael Valgren (Astana) and conserving an eight-second cushion into the final stage Saturday.

"In the end, I am happy with my TT," explained Pedersen. "Of course I would have liked to take some time on him, but I went really deep yesterday, and I could feel that straightaway on the bike. Michael did a really good time trial today, and I think I did a really good one also so in the end, I am really happy and satisfied with the result of being in the same time as Michael.

"I knew I did not have the same legs as in Poitou-Charentes.  A TT is always hard, and I was just fighting, fighting, fighting. I was told in the radio that at times I was a little bit in front, a little bit behind, so I knew we were pretty much on the same time, and I just tried to maintain that, and in the end, it worked out.

Pedersen also leads the best young rider competition and with his fourth place in the time trial assumed the lead in the points classification. But the jersey that matters is blue, and it will take a cohesive team effort and another focused and strong effort from the young Dane to secure the overall win tomorrow.

"Tomorrow I am going to be a big shadow on Michael the whole day.  I will be sure he does not go anywhere or take any bonus seconds. That's for sure our main goal tomorrow to keep him on a short line and track him down all the day," Pedersen said.

"I think the situation is good for us, especially if third and fourth place also race tomorrow. If I really have an eye on Michael, I think everything will be good."

Thursday, September 14: Stage 3, Otterup - Vejle, 183 km

Mads Pedersen wins the third stage and takes over the GC lead.

The race: Here's the report from winner Mads Pederson's Trek-Segafredo team.

Mads Pedersen capped a stellar leadout from teammate Jasper Stuyven to win the uphill finish of stage three at the PostNord Danmark Rundt Thursday.

Stuyven and Pedersen were a perfect combination in the closing kilometers of the classic-like parcours that also had classic-like weather, with Stuyven keeping the leading bunch intact before leading Pedersen full-gas into the first part of the finish climb.

Using Stuyven as a springboard, Pedersen slung off his teammate's wheel and hit for home. Stuyven's pace already had everyone gasping, and when the young Danish Champion sprinted around his teammate, the gap was immediate. Pedersen crossed the line three seconds ahead of Danish compatriot Michael Valgren (Astana) and overtook the race lead by nine seconds with two stages remaining.

Pedersen explained: "Jasper yelled to me that I have to go because he looked back and saw I had a little gap, and from there on you just have to push and push and push. You are always afraid that someone is coming back when you make a gap like this and still have 500 meters to the top of the climb at the finish. I was a little bit afraid of Valgren and that he would come back, but for sure he was at his limit like I was, it was all about going really deep."

"It's unbelievable. It's so huge to win this stage," gushed Pedersen. "Every Danish rider is really talking about this stage, and already after this race on Saturday they will talk about this stage again next year, so to win this stage, on this course, is really special."

It was a full team effort from Trek-Segafredo behind the young Dane, first in helping control the day's escape group for most of the 183.6-kilometer race, and then in the thorny ending when Gregory Rast and Stuyven were prominent at the front to monitor breakaway attempts and safeguard Pedersen in a good position.

The breakaway was tagged back with 47 kilometers remaining before a tricky final 40 kilometers which traversed narrow rural roads with steep inclines and culminated with three local circuits. Meanwhile, intermittent rain showers kept everything wet and treacherous.

The weather combined with the tough parcours to help pare the peloton, and the finish climb further carved the leading bunch to less than 30 men by the start of the final five-kilometer lap.

Pedersen said: "We thought maybe there would be some crosswinds today, but when the rain came the wind stopped. It got a little bit colder, but for me it was okay. I don't mind to race in rain, I am pretty much living in it a lot of times during the year. For me it was okay, the only thing you can do is to get the best out of the situation, and we did that."

Stuyven overcame an ill-timed flat tire just before the start of the final circuit. After a quick wheel change and a furious chase to get back to the front, he went right back to work. Stuyven, showing his form is tops ahead of the World Championships, helped to close down the last lap attacks, and then accelerated to the front with Pedersen in tow two kilometers from the end.

Stuyven pulled to the climb and then kicked into high gear on the uphill and Pedersen finished off the final 600 meters perfectly. "Jasper was just a beast on the bike today!" exclaimed Pedersen. "Having a puncture before the final circuit… Normally when you have bad luck like that, you never come back to the front. So for him just to come back is really impressive, and then the work he did for me after that... And then the leadout into the climb was just perfect."

"Think of a star like him who sacrifices everything to drive for someone like me. It just shows how big a person he is," he added.
