Mads Pedersen claimed a stunning victory from the breakaway at the 2019 UCI Road World Championships in Yorkshire, but after finishing a tough Tour de France he opted not to defend his title, judging the Imola circuit too tough for his capabilities.

The number 1 bib goes to Danish national teammate Jakob Fuglsang, who showed strong form with the victory in Il Lombardia in August.
