Søren Kragh Andersen (born 10 August 1994) is a Danish cyclist who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Alpecin–Deceuninck.[4] He is the younger brother of Asbjørn Kragh Andersen, who was also a professional cyclist,[5] until his retirement in 2022.

Career

[edit]

After three seasons with UCI Continental squad Team TreFor, Andersen joined Team Giant–Alpecin in 2016 on an initial two-year contract.[6] In February 2017, he won stage 3 of the Tour of Oman.[7] In August, competed in the Vuelta a España.[8] The following month, he was part of the winning team in the UCI world team time trial championships. He took his first World Tour victory the following June of stage six of the Tour de Suisse.[9] In July, he entered his first Tour de France.[10] During the race, Kragh Andersen held the lead of the young rider classification for seven days, ceding the lead on stage 10.[11] Towards the end of the season, he won the semi-classic Paris–Tours in a solo fashion.[12] At the 2020 Tour de France, Kragh Andersen won stages 14 and 19 of the race, with late-stage solo attacks of 3.2 kilometres (2.0 miles) and 16 kilometres (9.9 miles) respectively.[13][14]

In 2023, Kragh Andersen moved to Alpecin–Deceuninck, winning Eschborn–Frankfurt in May from an eight man breakaway.[15]
