In September last year, Mads Pedersen became one of the youngest riders ever to win the World Championships men's road race title, also becoming Denmark's first elite male winner in the event. Then just 23, underdog Pedersen surprised most when he beat Matteo Trentin in the sprint for the line, after an attritional, exhausting race held in torrential conditions in Yorkshire.

Sophie Hurcom is Procycling’s deputy editor. She joined the magazine in 2017, after working at Cycling Weekly where she started on work experience before becoming a sub editor, and then news and features writer. Prior to that, she graduated from City University London with a Masters degree in magazine journalism. Sophie has since reported from races all over the world, including multiple  Tours de France, where she was thrown in at the deep end by making her race debut in 2014 on the stage that Chris Froome crashed out on the Roubaix cobbles.
