Lidl-Trek's Mads Pedersen is refusing to give up on his Spring Classics campaign for 2026 after breaking his collarbone in a bad crash in the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, but the signs are currently anything but good.
The former World Champion has always been a major player in the Classics in recent years, with three victories in Gent-Wevelgem in his palmarès as well as multiple podiums in both Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders, including second in Flanders and third in Roubaix last year.
