The Danes became world team pursuit champions at the Track Cycling Worlds on Saturday in Glasgow by beating Italy in the final. Already crowned in 2020, the Scandinavians succeed Great Britain who won last year but this time was eliminated in qualifying after the heavy fall of Charlie Tanfield.
Third last year in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, site of the 2024 Olympic Games, Niklas Larsen, Carl-Frederik Bevort, Lasse Leth and Rasmus Pedersen left no chance for Filippo Ganna’s Italy, which had to be content with second place, as in 2022. In the bronze medal game, New Zealand largely dominated Australia who completely missed their start. The French took fifth place in the tournament on Friday.
