PARIS (Dispatches) - Johan Price-Pejtersen won Denmark’s fourth successive men’s Under-23 time trial title at the Road World Championships in Flanders on Monday as the 22-year-old added the rainbow jersey to his wardrobe just 11 days after also taking home the European title.
Price-Pejtersen competed the 30.3km course between Knokke-Heist and Bruges in 34 minutes 29 seconds, 10sec faster than Luke Plapp (Australia) who had earlier filled the hotseat having set a benchmark time. Home favorite Florian Vermeersch (Belgium) came in third just 1sec behind Plapp who next year will ride for Ineos Grenadiers.
