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.

This smells like a long Bernal solo.

should be interesting if it's really this wet. I saw some of the conti teams expecting to have an advantage as they have much more staff (well... volunteers ;) ) at the roadside.

We are not hoping for a bloodbath but a mudbath!

This might be epic since it's still kinda wet from earlier rain. It's like riding on beach sand.

The Danish commentators are worried for the riders crashing into the forest because of the major risk of being eaten by wolves!

Those gravel roads could be here to stay. Maybe closer to the finish line next time? Having 3 sprinters stage is a bit underwhelming if you want to attract the best classics riders.

There are gravel roads all over the country.

If they had just had the finish on the first lap in Herning, it could have been a better stage. Or if tomorrow's stage were harder, so the distance today could possibly lead to some surprises there.

They wont have a chance against Jasper Boonen after 240 km and hard racing. I predict a Champ Elyesees v.2

Nice to see Zoccarato on the front. Sadly he doesn't get too many chances to ride on this kind of terrain at Bardiani, a French or Belgian team would suit him much more.

Looks like the predicted sprint finish. It still could become a stage race with three sprint finishes. Sort of like Tour of Scandinavia.

Laporte is the best leadout man in the world.

Jasper Stuyven loves to ruin sprints for other sprinters tho by putting himself in a good position to just lose the wheel of every A, B and C tier sprinter.
