Mikkel Mountain once again showed its class and was for the third time world champion in the under 23-riders ‘ time trial. But another Danish rider got almost as much attention in the target area at the WORLD championships in Harrogate in England.
the term changes Johan Price-Pejtersen came to the WORLD cup with the hope of a medal, but instead was the involuntary protagonist in a spectacular scene, where he fell in a giant puddle on the road.
– In one moment, I run the time trial at a WORLD championship. The next moment I’m in a pool of water.
I landed on the thankfully soft. But it is as if I have forstrakt one or the other in the right side of the foot or ankle. I had a little trouble with the to take full power, ” says Johan Price-Pejtersen.
Had it not been for the accident, he had snatched a medal, he believes.
– In any case, if you look at who was on the podium.
– I would have a hard time to beat Mikkel no matter what, but the other two I think I could have beaten. Ian Garrison (silver, red.) I have been significantly several times in the season, ” says Johan Price-Pejtersen.
voice recurring characters; supervising american compatriot Brandan McNulty took the last place on the podium, as the 20-year-old dane had hoped to come up on.
the Trip in the water meant that he, instead of running for medals and glory just concentrated on implement. He rolled in the goal as the slowest of the 59 riders who got listed a time.
– of Course you have to keep your head cool and try to be by. But very quickly after the crash, I could start to feel it hurting, so I knew well that it was over.
– I thought that if I could implement so I should also it. It is the WORLD cup, and there are people who are rooting for you. There was no reason to be deleted, because I was tired of it, ” says Johan Price-Pejtersen.
Also compatriot Mathias Norsgaard is mellemfornøjet after the challenges in Yorkshire.
Last year’s bronzevinder finished in fourth place and thus just outside of medaljerækkerne.
– It is mega-disappointing. Number four is the first, not getting something to take home. It means a lot to get a medal at a WORLD championship.
– To become the number four is of course a bit annoying. But I showed that I was in the world elite at the under 23 level. To be it two years in a row I can be proud of, says Mathias Norsgaard.
the national Coach Anders Lund is, of course, a satisfied man after another gold medal to the Danish talenthold.
– I am very happy on Mikkel’s behalf. It was a phenomenal run and a historic achievement to get a WORLD-cup hat-trick in this discipline.
– His performance must not stand in the shadow of that there were some that were unfortunate. We know that it comes with. Especially when the circumstances are extreme, ” says Anders Lund.
