I lived there.

You really are a peculiarity!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I lived there.

You lived inside the school? Nerd alert!

You really are a peculiarity!

Lots of people live at that school. It's kinda a part of the concept.

Without feeling the temperature, I could even mix Denmark for Pannonia.

Boarding school?

Cobbled finish? According to Google Maps, it looks like they are going up some easy city cobbles.

 

[RedheadDane]

Boarding school?

Sort of...

Anyway; Bøgh Wallin making a good effort, though I will wager my sanity that he will be caught!

Why do I not live by the sea?

Limburg isn't much harder than Vejle IMO. If anything, I'd favor the later. Only a few outliners like Keutenberg and Eyserbosweg are tougher.

To be fair, there are a couple of hills that are bigger than any Danish hill (more vertical meters). But yes, the two landscapes are pretty comparable, although Limburg is a bit overrated, as it appears to be bigger than it really is.

Bad crash from Larsen...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It didn't look good at all.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Very Tour de France like: Flat stage, lots of crashes.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Disclaimer: Esbjerg is not the prettiest Danish city.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Surprisingly narrow finish line.

 

[Danskebjerge]

10 kilometers to go. No breakaways.

Overall, it seems like the Vejle climbs lies somewhere between those of Amstel Gold Race and the Tour of Flanders. Perfect for classics riders.

 

[Velolover2]

Super narrow finish with small cobbled bumps.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Am I actually watching the Tour of Poland now?

Yeah, Amstel.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Quickstep not looking too good, Cavendish not placed well right now.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

They got the turn right this time.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Evenepoel helping out.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Groenewegen!

 

[Danskebjerge]

Rather messy. Cavendish probably missed Mørkøv.

 

[sir fly]

Position was everything in this finale.

Congrats to Groenewegen.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

It was too easy without Mørkøv there.

Interesting that they got both Ritters as stadium announcers.
