In the OP it states that the course is not very technical. I've heard people say it's not technical at all, except for the final 1/4 and I've also heard it's a very technical course.

Not to mention all the different weather forecasts. How am I able to predict this TT now?

I'm not familiar with the full course but of the parts of Copenhagen I've been to, the only part I'd say that's technical is the few hundred metres around Kastellet. From Kastellet in to the finish it's small enough roads and usual city level road traffic but nothing majorly difficult.

I wouldn't be familiar with much of the parts from Frederiksborggade to Osterport though.

Not according to DMI. At least not before 11 pm.

I only use Windy and some of the prefered prognoses for this part of europe (NEMS and ICON) says it will rain after 17:00CET.

The weather is unpredictable. 1 thing is for sure today they can't predict when the rain starts on friday. They have good estimations, but this can still change to rain all afternoon or no rain all day. We will see!

the Kastellet

The definite article is superfluous.

 

[Netserk]

BTW, I'll probably be standing at Rysensteensgade on Friday.

I love discussing the weather because I have absolutely no control over it

 

[Kwibus]

Weather is probably the most used topic over the world with the exception of the countries that pretty much always have the same weather every day

 

[Potomac]

OK Denmark, this is it. Millions around the world will be watching and deciding if Denmark looks like someplace they want to visit.

 

[Tonton]

The definite article is superfluous.

...and way overrated.

A lot of sea around it, that's beautiful... very neat and tidy... Sometimes too much for my taste.

Just finished watching a wonderful stage 1.

As far as I can remember those streets, it must be for strong men after all.
Cyclocrossers can have some advantage in the end due to the cornering and the pull up after the corners.
But those bends are not very technical now, and the bends or turns are also wide enough to cycle through fairly quickly.

 

[kingjr]

Could be a good course for Küng, too, he seems to be quite fast in the corners on the TT bike.

Amazing, considering they haven't done it yet.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Nah. It started. No way back now.

 

[RedheadDane]

Nah. It started. No way back now.

Are you a time traveller?

 

[Didinho]

Waiting for the EF time trial helmets

 

[CyclistAbi]

Are you a time traveller?

Yes. I am a time traveler and was sent back from the future to tell the peloton and the people in this wonderful place in the universe the single most important thing. And that is to:

Wear sunscreen.

 

[cen]

LFG!

 

[Escarabajo]

The opening weekend is really poison for the pure climbers.

They are guaranteed to lose a 1 minute or more in the time trial. And maybe a couple of minutes more in the following stage with the bridge. Put the cobbled stage into the equation and they are reduced to stage hunters.

Quintana can put minutes to the climbers as well!!!

Spoiler: SECRET!

I'm a redhead. I always wear sunscreen, coz I prefer the "red" part of "redhead" to refer only to my hair, not my face.

 

[Bavarianrider]

So a good 25 corners over 13km
And why the hell does the tour start at a Friday in the first place?

To make room for a 3rd rest/travel day on Monday when they head to France.

A rest day after the third day of the Tour. No we have seen it all.
