Five years ago, Johan Price-Pejtersen looked to be on the verge of a highly successful career as a professional cyclist, but it is now fizzling out at the age of just 27.

The Danish rider claimed the U23 time trial world champion in Bruges in 2021, to go alongside his Danish and European titles. Beating Luke Plapp and Florian Vermeersch in Bruges, he announced himself as a future star and, though he did already have a professional contract with Uno-X, earned a move to the WorldTour with Bahrain Victorious.
