I guess it’s nice that the GC of this race can be decided by a single one man effort once in a while, but in a broader perspective it does kill some of the excitement. Especially when the same rider has the strongest team behind him. I’m looking forward to returning to the good old battle for seconds in this stage race.

Just when I thought RhD's making things up - there's the rain in Denmark.

TT Saturday around Europe.

Wet roads on a technical course. Let the bravest rider win.

I wish it had rained in Kalundborg instead.

Despite all the crap being said, Copenhagen is one of the lesser rainy capitals in Western Europe.
Hold on... You, Danes, really have to make up your mind... either you're Northern or Western, can't be both.

And while the guys are speeding all over her neighbourhood, Cille's strolling around Norway... Preposterous!

I like these small, technical courses. It doesn't even have to be in the capital, it can be done in every medium-sized town with city cobbles, corners and roundabouts.

20 km is a bit overkill for such a small race and turns it into a race for time trialists. That said, having no time trial like in 2019 makes it feel a bit "empty".

I couldn't afford the good stuff.

Who else do you have on your list for a podium apart from Evenepoel?
Steimle, Teunissen, Kragh Andersen? Will Morkov try?

Pedersen will definitely go flat out here. Mørkøv will probably do the same, but he shouldn't come close.

You have to look like Bjarne Riis, if you want to work at the starting ramp.

And it looks like they won't even come close to Frederiksberg or Herlev Hospital in the Battle of the North next year either.
