Chris Anker Sørensen (Danish pronunciation: [ˈkʁis ɑŋɡɐ ˈsɶɐ̯nˀsn̩]; born 5 September 1984) is a Danish professional road bicycle racer for Riwal Platform Cycling Team.
Career
Born in Hammel, Sørensen started his professional career in 2007 with Team CSC. After a promising performance in the 2008 Tour of Austria, he competed for Denmark (along with Nicki Sørensen and Brian Vandborg) in the 2008 Olympic road race, finishing 12th overall.
