2022 PostNord Danmark Rundt, August 16-20

[Logic-is-your-friend]

See, the bot thinks i'm funny.

 

[Velolover2]

This route seems fitting for a small race like this. 11-13 km.

A 15-20 km time trial is too much.

Thomas just did the final "kilometer" in 41 seconds. I guess they'd need to have another look at that.

 

[RedheadDane]

Hang on; Thomas had gone missing? He was hiding behind the hot seat?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Anton Charmig looking quite good there. Great time for him! Apparantly, he's Brian Nygaard's darling, and I must admit I quite like him as well (despite not knowing too much about him at all before).

 

[RedheadDane]

Now, that's a comfy hot seat!
Did Thomas remember to take his vest off? Probably, since he's leading.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

Story so far

G + loads of Danes

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Will Skjelmose finally get his first win?

 

[Velolover2]

Insane time by Skjelmose. The next Vingegaard?

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Laporte might make it, if he doesn't crash.

 

[RedheadDane]

Will Skjelmose finally get his first win?

No.
But looked like the time kept counting quite a while after Würtz crossed the line.

 

[tobydawq]

Würtz' time was not correct.

Sheffield seems like he's blitzing the opposition.

 

[tobydawq]

It wasn't a blitz, but he did get the lead.

 

[Velolover2]

I like this shorter length of the TT for ToD. No huge time gaps between the favorites.

Less than 10 secs between the leaders of Ineos, Trek and Jumbo.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Sheffield has an absolute engine, he probably will win this unless Cort can surprise.

 

[Velolover2]

They have placed the bonus sprints very early on stage 3.

I'd have placed them right after the three toughest gravel sectors.

the stage design in general doesn't make much sense, unfortunately. But maybe the rain on the forecast can still make it exciting.

Magnus (not that Magnus, the other Magnus) being interviewed about the Tour of Denmark in Norwegian.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Skjelmose indeed is the real deal. Super complete, and a very consistent rider apparantly.

My concern for Skjelmose is the high mountains. Maybe he's more of a Valverde type of rider, which wouldn't be bad either

But why do all the young Danes have to be so unlikeable?

 

[Valv.Piti]

Who are you referring to? And don't really know Skjelmose well enough to make that judgement

 

[Baldinger]

But why do all the young Danes have to be so unlikeable?

What? Yes, Skjelmose was way too cocky as a teenager but he seems really likeable now.

I don't really agree. He seemed alright in the long Forhjulslir podcast where he explained everything about how he was a complete jack when he was a junior and how he got to be suspended but even if he may have matured somewhat, I still find him to have a very short patience with journalists.

I'm just really not into very temperamental people.

Right now, the chance of rain (and thunder) in the Brande/Ikast/Herning is above 70% at 3PM-4PM where the riders are tackling most of the gravel roads.

There will also be heavy rain in the mourning.

Riders with cyclocross experience could have an advantage if it gets muddy. Some of the sectors are more like going off road than riding on fine Strade gravel.
