Tour of Denmark 2021 (10th to 14th of August)

[Danskebjerge]

I expect tomorrow's stage to be rather similar to this one, but the finish will be more exciting and picturesque, I think.

Actually I think it wasn't just about position and Morkov in the end, Groenewegen kicked and that was it, the others couldn't reach him anymore - Teunissen brought him into a great position, but the gap he opened was him.

 

[BlueRoads]

I'm not sure I saw it right... did Evenepoel have problems to hold the wheel in between?

 

[SafeBet]

Dominant win by Groenewegen. I don't think there was anything Morkov could do today to prevent it.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I wonder if they're going to erase some of the time differences.

 

[tobydawq]

Sort of...

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

You speak as if that is intact?

Sprinting from the head of the group was an advantage in this case, I'm sure.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Affini and Teunissen were really strong, strong enough to give DQ problems. Of course you still need a sprinter who can deliver and that's exactly what Groenewegen did.

I didn't say it would be a good prize to win...

 

[Samu Cuenca]

I never realised Henrik Jess was a short guy, but I'm not going to make a Napoleon complex reference. At least not more than one.

Apparently Larsen's crash was so bad, he has disappeared off the face of the earth...

Christian Andersen said he was alright, but that he wasn't allowed to do the final laps, because he was too far behind.

So the jury will create a "artificial time-loss", and let him continue?

As I understand it, they will give him the time he was behind the peloton, when he reached the finish line for the first and only time.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Surely, Larsen will not be able to perform 100% from now on.

No, but I was afraid he had suffered a broken collarbone.
Apparently one of the Polish riders, that toby loves, was to blame.

 

[SHAD0W93]

Congrats to Groenewegen! Stinks he isn't going the Vuelta instead of Denmark in order to get some GT stage wins. Now it's Cav's turn tomorrow and him to finish second so they swap like him and Jakobsen.

 

[Danskebjerge]

As I sort of expected: Niklas Larsen (reigning GC winner) is out.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Lampaert is also out of the race due to becoming father.

 

[Netserk]

The camerawork is even worse than the commentating of Liniger. While it's fun to see the race with friends when it passes by where you live, everything about the race is amateur-hour and it should have been demoted to .1 a long time ago. It is probably the worst .HC/.PS race there is.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Echelon time!

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Remco is getting some proper training now, but I doubt they will be pushing the pace for the remaining 130 km.

Speak on... got dropped, chased back?

Speak on... got dropped, chased back?

Mostly DQS and Jumbo upped the pace in the wind, and a group of 57 riders or so are now in front with an advantage of 35 seconds to the next group.
