The former world champ has recovered from injury \u2013 and surgery \u2013 far more quickly than expected.<\/p>\n

Lidl-Trek announced on Thursday that Mads Pedersen will line up for Milan-San Remo just a month and a half after suffering two fractures in a crash at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.<\/p>\n

“Honestly, the plan was not to race Sanremo,\u201d Pedersen said via the team press release, \u201cbut we have done some really good training and we wanted to see specific numbers to be able to have a chance to make a good result in this race as well. After a few hard trainings this week, we believe that it is a good decision to race again, pin the numbers on, and get comfortable in a race again.”<\/p>\n

Pedersen, among the very few riders in the world who have even come close to matching the likes of Tadej Poga\u010dar and Mathieu van der Poel in the Classics in recent years, broke his left wrist and right collarbone in a fall on stage 1 of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana, his first race day of the season. He then underwent surgery, raising doubts over whether he’d be ready to pursue any of his Spring Classics goals.<\/p>\n

A quick return to training suggested that his recovery was going well, but even then, it was unclear whether he would be healthy enough to race even the Tour of Flanders, let alone a nearly 300 km race two weeks before that.<\/p>\n
