Pedersen: "I have massive respect for Julien Bernard"
Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek): "A lot of guys wanted to make the break, and a lot of guys didn’t want some other people in the break, so that’s why it went so fast. Julien [Bernard] was at the front. He’s such an underestimated bike rider. As a teammate, he’s one of the best guys you can have. If you tell him to pull on the flat, he’s there; on a day...
