This is the first time the Tour has a rest day this early. In modern times that is.

Do we know who's put up the kroner for this?

They pretty much finish the second stage just after crossing the bridge, so thats pretty interesting.infeXio said:The crossing of Storebælt on stage 2 ought to be quite interesting - especially on the eastern part of the bridge if it's even remotely windy.
That would be very optimistic of him considering he already wasn't selected last year. Of course, he could be targeting the Tour for a smaller wildcard team.RedheadDane said:One thing's for sure now; Lars Bak ain't stopping until after he's 41!

As as Dane Im very excited about it, but I still have some skepticism about starting abroad in 'uninteresting' countries like Denmark. They don't have too much to offer cycling wise, but a time trial helps and if we see crosswinds on stage 2, thats better than most Grand Départs anyways.

Danish colony here is very prominent.
infeXio said:I'm quite doubtful in regards to Nyborg hosting the finish of stage 2, as the previous plans had the stage finishing in Odense, which, distance wise, would make more sense as well, as the municipality of Odense was set to provide 10 million DKK in funding.
As for the second part of your post, I couldn't agree more.

Actually there is a big possibility, that Nyborg will host the stage 2 finish. Odense municipality has to cut spending, because they didn't get permission, as they had hoped/expected, to raise taxes for financing more welfare. Nyborg, on the other hand, has stable finances, and I just looked up, that the renovation of the medieval castle and its surroundings is expected to finish in 2021. Perhaps a coincidence, but the timing would be perfect. A lot of attention from all over the world to showcase the city as "Heart of the (Danish) Realm" and the medieval castle, so to strengthen the expected UNESCO World Heritage Site bid, which will encompass the castle as the former residence of the king and the city centre.
