Danish all-rounder Mads Pedersen gave his Lidl-Trek teammates a public dressing-down after stage 1 of Paris-Nice, after they collectively failed to deliver Pedersen to a position where he could fight for victory.
Pedersen is clearly in good form, having just won a stage and the overall in the Tour de la Provence earlier this year and has a good track record in Paris-Nice, too, with stage wins in 2022 and 2023.
