Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) leapfrogged teammate Mattias Skjelmose and took overall victory at the Tour of Denmark by smashing the final stage individual time trial that started and finished in Helsingør. 

Skjelmose started the day with a four-second lead over his Danish compatriot but was unable to hang on after the incredibly flat 16.1km ITT.
