August 9, 2008Chris Anker Sørensen (born September 5, 1984) is a Danish professional road bicycle racer for UCI ProTour Saxo Bank-SunGard.
Chris Anker Sørensen started his professional career in 2007 with Team CSC. After a promising performance in the 2008 Tour of Austria, he competed for Denmark (along with Nicki Sørensen and Brian Vandborg) in the 2008 Olympic road race, finishing 12th overall.
Starting with the 2010 season, Sørensen, who lives in Luxembourg, will ride under a Luxembourgian license, since the UCI will no longer allow the Danish federation to grant Danish licenses to riders living abroad.[1]
