Video: The Sigma Sports Cafe Ride – Mads Pedersen
Step inside the world of Mads Pedersen
Matt Stephens is back in the Cote d’Azur for a Sigma Sports Cafe Ride with one of the fastest men on the planet. Mads Pedersen might be best-known for his UCI World Road Championship win, and out-sprinting some of the best riders in the world to win multiple Grand Tour stages. But off the bike, his biggest passion is restoring and driving classic cars.
Desperate to impress the great Dane, Matt’s gotten his hands on a ‘classic sportscar’ of his own. Matt parked his little surprise at the top of the Col de Madone, so it’s just as well Mads has recovered from a pre-season injury in time to guide him up the formidable climb. On the way, the pair engage in a free flowing, fascinating chat that covers everything from equipment testing for Paris-Roubaix, meeting your future self, and talking your kids out of becoming pro cyclists.
