[7] He also become national champion of Denmark, and took overall victory in the Tour du Poitou Charentes after winning the time trial.

[9] Pedersen attacked ahead of the Koppenberg with just over 50 kilometres (31 miles) remaining, and was joined by Dylan van Baarle (Team Sky) and Sebastian Langeveld (EF Education First–Drapac p/b Cannondale).

Eventual winner Niki Terpstra (Quick-Step Floors) caught and passed Pedersen on the final ascent of the Oude Kwaremont and rode to victory, but Pedersen was strong enough to hold off world champion Peter Sagan (Bora–Hansgrohe) and the chasing peloton to become the youngest podium finisher in 40 years.

During the 2022 Tour de France he was very active early in the race as the Grand Départ was held in his home country of Denmark, however he had no luck.

Simmons drove a hard pace up the Coté de Saint-Romain-en-Gal and with just under 11 km to go Pedersen launched an attack.

As the finish line approached Pedersen overpowered both of them, and easily won the sprint to claim the stage win.

[15] In August, he narrowly miised out on a medal in the World Road Race Championships, losing the sprint for third to Tadej Pogačar.
