Skjelmose declared 2024 Danish time trial champ just before 2025 race
One day before the time trial at the 2025 Danish national championships, Mattias Skjelmose (Lidl-Trek) was confirmed as last year's champion, finally ending a long-running saga that began when Johan Price-Pejtersen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) set the fastest mark in the event but was disqualified by commissaires for riding on a sidewalk.
The Danish cycling federation overruled the race jury, but then the UCI stepped in, ultimately upholding the initial disqualification. According to the Danish cycling federation, the UCI decided that the Danish governing body "did not have the authority to overturn the commissaires' panel's original decision, as national championships are held under the UCI's rules."
A day later, Mads Pedersen took the 2025 title in Aalborg.
