The experienced and versatile Dane joins Uno-X Mobility Cycling on a three-year contract through the 2029 season.
Casper Pedersen will join Uno-X Mobility Cycling from Soudal Quick-Step ahead of the 2027 season.
The 30-year-old Dane brings eight seasons of WorldTour experience, six Grand Tour starts and victories in some of the toughest one-day races on the calendar. His strength, versatility and understanding of the sport will give Uno-X Mobility another valuable option across the classics, Grand Tours and demanding stage races.
For Pedersen, the move is one he has hoped for over several years.
“For a long time, I have dreamed of joining Uno-X Mobility. The team’s development over the past few years has been impressive, and I believe I can take another step as a rider in the environment the team offers.
“I am really looking forward to becoming part of the strong team spirit you can see at Uno-X. The way they race as one unit is inspiring and brings out the best in everyone. I think it will be a fantastic environment for me.”

Experience across the biggest races
Pedersen’s biggest professional victory came at Paris-Tours in 2020. After a demanding finale through the gravel roads and vineyards, he beat Benoît Cosnefroy in a two-man sprint to win the historic French classic.
He followed that with victory at the Figueira Champions Classic in 2023. His other notable results include a stage win and third overall at the Tour of Denmark, third place on a stage of the 2021 Tour de France and fourth at E3 Saxo Classic in 2025.
Pedersen’s background extends beyond road racing. In 2014, he became junior world champion in the omnium, a multi-event discipline in track cycling. Three years later, he won the U23 European road race title on home soil in Herning.
That combination of track speed, road endurance and tactical awareness has shaped him into a versatile rider who can take responsibility in several different roles.
“I look forward to contributing with my versatility, whether that means leading out a sprinter, protecting a GC leader or chasing a result from the breakaway on hard, open days.”
Pedersen has started three editions of the Tour de France and three editions of La Vuelta a España, completing five of his six Grand Tours. There is still one major race missing from his list.
“One of my big goals is to race the Giro, as it is the only Grand Tour I have not yet ridden.”
A strong addition to the team
Pedersen has raced at WorldTour level since joining Team Sunweb in 2019. After four seasons with Sunweb and Team DSM, he moved to Soudal Quick-Step in 2023.
Alongside what he can contribute on the road, Pedersen is motivated by the opportunity to support the development of the younger riders around him.
“I hope to share what I have learned during my years at WorldTour level with the team’s many young talents. At the same time, I am inspired and continue to develop through exchanging ideas and experiences with my teammates.
“Seeing a teammate grow and develop gives me a lot of satisfaction. I am looking forward to working with the team’s experts and experiencing the Uno-X culture, which I have heard so many good things about. Becoming part of this team is a dream come true.”
Uno-X Mobility General Manager Thor Hushovd believes Pedersen’s strength and team-first mentality will make him an important addition.
“Casper is the kind of rider who makes the entire team stronger. He has the engine and racing intelligence to take responsibility in the classics, support our sprinters and GC leaders, and take his own opportunities when they come,” says Hushovd.
“Just as importantly, he wants to use what he has learned to help the riders around him. That mindset fits very well with the way we work and the culture we have built. We are very pleased that he has chosen Uno-X Mobility.”
Welcome to Uno-X Mobility, Casper. We look forward to seeing you in red and yellow from 2027.
