Tour de France 2022 - The anticipational thread

[Danskebjerge]

To those of you who expect lots of drama on the Great Belt bridge: Don't get too excited. There has always been less than 20 percent chance of relevant winds on the bridge, and the latest forecasts haven't changed that. If anything, there will be side wind on the roads between Kalundborg and the bridge, and that could be used by some of the teams, but on the bridge itself there will be a moderate headwind, and headwind doesn't do anything good for the drama in a race.

The bridge over the Great Belt certainly has been one of the most overrated factors of this year's Tour de France.

Makes no sense to build a bridge with minimal risk for the traffic...

We have too many TDF threads, but I guess this one is the most appropiate.

What a fantastic team presentation in Copenhagen. Huge crowd! Denmark is spoiled with a lot of good riders currently, but it was crazy to see the Danish riders getting cheered on. Vingegaard in tears, fantastic.

Where will people be standing tomorrow?

I think I will be perched atop the head of the Little Mermaid.

 

[mortand]

I haven't quite decided yet. Perhaps the long strech at Øster Allé, perhaps the little stretch at Østerbrogade where they'll pass twice.

That's a very good place, we can't miss you there!

I think the biggest question is, will the champagne be corked or not?

You are using this thread wrong.

First week is usually the most fun , but especially so this year with most of the interesting stages for me being before the second rest day. Looking forward to seeing Copenhagen and Denmark, Northern France stages are promising, then PBF followed by the Swiss Hills. By then though it's possible the GC will have been decided anyway, and the realisation dawns that there's two more weeks of Kirby, which is more than the standard human should have to experience.

Very jealous of all the Danes of the forum. Hope you have a cracking three days.

If there is no wind then these Danish stages will be wasted.

 

[BR2]

I'm excited!!

Awh, after watching the Brian Holm buildup clip I've been struggling to sleep with so much anticipation.

That would have been illegal.

Four of my nameless predictions came true. (Let's forget about the other five.)

• Only one Slovenian will be on the podium in Paris.
• Only three riders from last year’s GC top 10 will make it again.
• The green jersey will be won by someone from the Benelux.
• The guy who takes the yellow jersey in stage 11 will take it to Paris.

I could but ATM i don't even know if Roglič will be participating next year. Hence first i must determine if i even care.

P.S. Best if some Dane does it.

Your care for the race is determined by one rider?
