Tour de France Tour de France 2022: Stage 1 (Copenhagen – Copenhagen, 13.2k/ITT)

[danielovichdk2]

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

Like I said. It will rain.

 

[danielovichdk2]

Vingegaard is starting quiet early, maybe the first from the GT favourites group. And the weather will 100% have an impact for those who ride after 17:00cet.

Asgreen to take this one.

174	25	18:53:00	PIDCOCK Thomas	INEOS Grenadiers
175	17	18:54:00	VAN HOOYDONCK Nathan	Jumbo-Visma
176	7	18:55:00	SOLER Marc	UAE Team Emirates

I somehow don't think these are the three riders ASO had hoped would be the last to start...

I bet Marc Soler's happy though. Now his team can't force him to wait for his captain.

The rain (if it happens) will screw-up the hierarchy in this ITT.

Only if it comes early. It seems everyone who has a chance to win (and GC guys) are grouped together.

If you were in Copenhagen - where is the best place to stand?

Roglic and Martinez and Vlasov are starting even earlier. Ganna, van Aert and Pogacar 17:03 to 17:05 are the latest favorites to start.

If you want to see the winning ride in its entirety, you'll probably have to stand on Ganna's handlebar.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Usually I like rain and wet roads on time trials as it adds another dimension and some drama, but today I would have loved to see Copenhagen in sunshine.

Also, I don't get why Ganna doesn't start earlier. That could very well be a mistake that costs him the victory.

If the weather stayed fine, I think out by the section around Kastellet would be nice. With rain though, I'd probably stay in a more covered area so anywhere around Indre By should be ok. That area around Borsen and Knippelsbro is pretty enough, or else by Nyhavn (I'd imagine this area will be packed).

Thanks! I've been looking forward to this since there were whispers about the possibility. Going to watch all three stages

I'm assuming that final KM up to Tivoli will be ticketed but if not, there will be good too.

AFAIK van der Poel will wear a special swimsuit. If it rains he will be like a fish in the water.

"It's Merman!"

Similar facial features to Derek also.

 

[Kwibus]

There will be heavy rain from 15:00. This will be a rain soaked TT for everyone I think,

Pog getting rain any time he needs he has 5x Nibbles' voodoo

 

[johnymax]

I hate rain during TTs

 

[Faserr]

Yeah. It looks like wet roads for everyone. Its starting to rain now.

 

[CyclistAbi]

Due to addition of rain i would say that this has just become a rather technical time trial.

 

[Red Rick]

It started to rain the second I said MvdP wouldn't top 10

I'm sorry guys.

 

[markene2]

Looking foward to the race, feeling hyped!

Hold your horses. Don't get your hopes up. Pogi will take it by 10 minutes. It's all over.

In normal circumstances Ganna would be the clear favourite, but the rain and the bends might be an advantage to Van Aert. The two Slovenians also have a chance, but they won't take risks in the bends. I would be surprised if one of these four didn't win.

No risk no glory.

Bissegger has to be part of the discussion as well. Perhaps the best technical rider of them all. On the other hand, I would be surprised if Pogacar or Roglic won.

 

[KZD]

No risk no glory.

Let's just hope that he doesn't do a Valverde 2017.

 

[topcat]

It is raining now but there are a couple of forecasts that show no rain till later. So rain will be not be factor and may the best man win.
