"We knew that the final was super good so the boys did good today and everyone was focussed the whole day," Pedersen, the 2019 world champion, said. "I'm happy that I could finally get the win and give the boys back for all the work they did so far. It's really nice for all of us."

Ad «As per our internal protocols, Juan Ayuso was tested for Covid-19 and returned a positive result this morning,» said UAE Team Emirates doctor Adrian Rotunno.
