I'm looking forward to see the Danish national team in the WCRR. I'm unsure though if the route favours a more defensive approach with everyone for Mads Pedersen, but with this cohort of riders I hope they'll be active there. Especially since the national cohesion seems to be quite good.
If they ride defensively, it would be very dumb imho. There are too many Danes that have an actual chance on this route if they make the race hard or if they go on the offensive. They have a much better team than the Netherlands and probably even Italy, for this course. Belgium will probably be the team everybody will be looking at, but i feel Denmark is close behind, if not equal. Asgreen and Kragh Anderson should be the ones to attack deep in the final, Pedersen may be able to wait. But it's not just those three. In support there are plenty of guys who could go in an early break, or who could stay at Pedersen's side.
I think, considering the wealth in numbers, with multiple guys that could actually win here, that everyone for Pedersen would be a mistake. He might be their best sprinter, but other than that he is not superior to Asgreen or Kragh Anderson for instance, i would even argue the opposite on this terrain. It would be a humongous screw up to babysit Pedersen, have a deciding break slip away, just to come to the conclusion Pedersen isn't having his day and you clipped the wings of your other top riders. Let's also not forget Asgreen is no slouch either when it comes to a small groupsprint. In a scenario where he gets away with a group while van Aert, van der Poel, Alaphilippe and Pedersen keep looking at each other in a reduced peloton, Asgreen could well take it.
If they are to ride defensively, i feel it would even benefit the Netherlands and Belgium, because the Netherlands don't have the team for this route. Other than van der Poel, their biggest stars are GC riders. In case of Belgium, they will likely be riding for van Aert, since the hierarchy is much clearer in Belgium. We all know that while Van Avermaet, Naesen, Wellens, Stuyven... are great riders, that they are not at the same level as van Aert, but also do not have the same engine as Asgreen or Kragh Andersen. Benoot on his day perhaps. The only real joker Belgium have, is Evenepoel, in case he's riding. He could, just like SKA or Asgreen, try to go solo in the final.
