Mad Pedersen claimed his long-awaited victory at this year’s Vuelta a España 2025 on stage 15 in a sprint finish from a group of nine.
The Lidl-Trek rider pipped Orluis Aular (Movistar) and Marco Frigo (Bahrain Victorious) on the line, as they rounded out the podium.
Before the start of the day, it was clear that all Pedersen wanted was a stage victory, despite holding onto the green jersey since the outset, but the win wasn’t guaranteed, as with over 3,000 metres of climbing, it was suited to the sprinter.
