That was the year he also won the TT and beat Greipel on a sprint stage, right?
Riis gave him the perfect spice.

Eh, how exactly did he do that? The Vejle stage never finishes in a sprint... Maybe three-four riders in the final bur not a big sprint.Remco saved the race from being a boring sprintfest. Kudos to him.

Exactly. There have been many stages won by super sprinters in this race throughout the years, but the stage in Vejle has never been one of them (since 2004).
I'm sure someone can name 53 sprinters who are better than him
53? That's oddly specific.
How deep in the thread?I guess, you haven't read the discussion in the Van Aert thread then. And I actually should have wrote 54.

yep, there's a profile of it on ClimbfinderI wouldn't be underestimating Bøgebakken in the upcoming stage.
LFR are way off when it comes to route mapping. They turned it into a bump (400 m, 6%) but it is much closer to Kiddesvej than people think.
I'd say it's 300-400 m of 10-12% based on the two times I've climbed it.
No way it's 6%. It's a little wall.
Was that Mette Frederiksen, Danish prime minister starting today's stage?
And has that been the case for the three previous stages or is something special about today's departure city?
