Rider Statement – Peder Dahl Strand

“I am a 24-year-old all-rounder with a powerful engine and sharp race instincts. After missing most of 2024 due to illness, 2025 has been a real breakthrough with victories in both Scandinavia and Belgium. I thrive in demanding one-day races and technical circuits, where resilience and tactical precision are decisive. When the chance is there, I can finish it off – and when it’s not, I am fully committed to working for the team.

What sets me apart is mindset and consistency. I have shown I can overcome setbacks, deliver under pressure and stay disciplined over time. I race with integrity, respect for the sport, and commitment to the collective. Now I’m looking forward to testing myself in bigger races and proving my value in a professional environment that shares the same ambition.”

Head of Sport Erik Ekman on the Signing

“After several discussions in a short period of time, the opportunity opened up for Peder to join us for the end of the season. He will be a strong addition with plenty of experience, especially as we head into three intense weeks of racing in Belgium.

This is also a chance for Peder to show himself and for us to evaluate a possible collaboration for 2026. He is already joining the team in Izegem today and, if everything runs smoothly, will be on the start line tomorrow for a Pro Kermesse here in Belgium.”

With this addition, Lucky Sport Cycling Team gains both strength and experience as the squad takes on the final races of the season – and looks ahead to 2026 with growing ambition.
