"I was thinking in the bus this morning it was more for Pedersen, but (teammate Stefan) Kung said to me I have a punch and I can win today," Gaudu said after his first Vuelta stage win since 2020.
"I'm very happy. I'm very, very proud to win for me, for the team. This is, I think, the best start to the Vuelta we could get."
Pedersen's teammate Giulio Ciccone finished fourth and was third overall at the end of the first medium-mountain stage of the race, a 139km ride from San Maurizio Canavese to Ceres in Italy.
