Rasmus Søjberg Pedersen sprinted to victory on the final stage of the Tour of Denmark, expertly negotiating a chaotic finale which featured a large crash to take his first win of the season.

Racing in the colours of the Danish national team, but contracted to Decathlon-CMA CGM, Pedersen surfed the wheels in the finale, benefitting from the work of Lidl-Trek as they looked to set up Max Walscheid, who finished in second place. Emerging sprint talent Tom Crabbe (Team Flanders-Baloise) finished on the final step on the podium.
