Mads Pedersen claimed a stunning victory from the breakaway at the 2019 UCI Road World Championships in Yorkshire, but after finishing a tough Tour de France he opted not to defend his title, judging the Imola circuit too tough for his capabilities.

The number 1 bib goes to Danish national teammate Jakob Fuglsang, who showed strong form with the victory in Il Lombardia in August.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
