Frederik Rodenberg, Tobias Aagaard Hansen, Rasmus Pedersen and Niklas Larsen late Thursday night secured the World Championship title for Denmark for the third successive year against Australia in the Men's 4 km team pursuit in Chile.

Denmark on Thursday again underlined their expertise in track cycling at the World Championships in Chile. 

The Danish men on Thursday night defended their World Championship title in the 4000-meter team pursuit after defeating Australia in the final.

National coach Casper Jorgensen had chosen Frederik Rodenberg, Tobias Aagaard Hansen, Rasmus Lund Pedersen and Niklas Larsen to take part in the final in Chile.

The team was thus the same as in the first round, which corresponded to the semi-finals.

In qualifying, Lasse Norman Leth drove instead of Frederik Rodenberg.
