Simmons drove a hard pace up the Coté de Saint-Romain-en-Gal and with just under 11km to go Pedersen launched an attack. Only Fred Wright and Hugo Houle could go with him. At the finish line, Pedersen outsprinted both of them to claim the stage win.[54]

He won the sprint from the breakaway, where he had four teammates to help him.[83][84] He also came second on stage nineteen, to Jasper Philipsen.[85] The final stage was abandoned with 60km to go, due to pro-Palestine protestors that had entered parts of the course, and the organisers cancelled the podium ceremony because of safety concerns.[86][87] An alternative podium ceremony was organised in a car park.[88] Pedersen won the points classification.[89]

On the second ascent of the Oude Kwaremont, Tadej Pogačar attacked, with only Mathieu van der Poel and Remco Evenepoel able to follow. Pedersen and Wout van Aert were dropped. He worked with van Aert, who eventually dropped him on the final ascent of the Kwaremont. Pedersen finished in fifth place.[95][96][97]
Ahead of Paris-Roubaix, Pedersen said "I'm just happy to be here. [...] To be back racing, and still placing in the top five at the two Monuments [so far] this year, we can't complain too much."[98] At the race, he suffered an early puncture, but managed to go clear with Pogačar and van Aert, after van der Poel suffered a mechanical and bike change on the Trouée d’Arenberg. He was distanced when Pogačar and van Aert started attacking. Pedersen finished seventh, only 15" seconds behind the winner, Wout van Aert.[99]
Pedersen was selected for the 2026 Tour de France.[100] He won stage four, in a sprint from the breakaway. His teammates, Quinn Simmons and Mathias Vacek, also finished in the top ten, second and tenth respectively.[101][102] Pedersen mathematically secured the green jersey on stage twenty, saying that "one of my career goals is now accomplished".[103][104] Pedersen joins an elite group of cyclists who have won the points classification at least once in each grand tour, such as Eddy Merckx, and Mark Cavendish.[105]
