Teams & Riders Søren Kragh Andersen AKA "Mr. Andersen"

He's either not be selected or chose not to be selected - DSM has no reason to stop him riding the World's.

But I can't really see why he would be following their instructions at this point.

Maybe something about his contract.

Failure to show up to a race when called up by the team may lead them to terminate his contract without any payment in the 4 months that are remaining.

He can say is injured but if the team doctor says he's fine, it could be a complicated legal battle.

It's shitty, but it's DSM we're talking about.

The Danish national coach gives an explanation here (in Danish):

Basically the Canadian races were planned a long time ago and it was always the plan that he should ride them. But he's totally out of form (because of his saddle sores) and could't perform at the Worlds anyway.

Seems like a good time to pull this up again, after his win Monday.

Not only that, seems it has been pretty great month for him:

Shoulder development on the baby isn‘t as great as Soren’s, though

So, Danish Champion (helps to have Mads P on your team.)

Hopefully, he'll have a bit more luck for the rest of the season...

So, he appeared in Fuglsang's new podcast recently, and revealed the reason for his persistent issue with saddle sores:
Apparently his right-side "seating bone" (don't know the technical term in English) is bigger... and pointy. So, combined with the wrong saddles, it has caused issues.
Which reminds me of the Danish saying "Hvis og hvis, min røv var spids" ("If and if, my ass was pointy"), I guess his actually is, at least partially.

ischial tuberosity - but "sit-bone" sounds better.

I guess with all this 3d printing it should be relatively easy for someone to knock out the perfect saddle for him.
I solved my own sore arse problem by ditching my relatively expensive saddle and replaced it with a £10 jobby from a cycle jumble.
