Speaking to the media in the week leading up to the event, he said: “I am pretty sure these are the guys who have done well and the guys who we believe can do the job on Saturday night and get that gold for Denmark. “They also happen to be our three GP riders and obviously that counts for a lot.

They are doing well in the GP. They have the experience and also Leon and Mikkel raced for us at last year’s Final in Manchester, winning the bronze. “We have Anders in there too and the system has changed from last year.

We previously had to have an under-21 rider as a reserve. Now we have Anders as a reserve. It’s a key part of the team and we can put Anders in whenever we want.
