Tour of Denmark 2024, August 14 to 18

[Danskebjerge]

Christian Winthersvej coming up! The highlight of this year's race.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Ha ha, pretty mean by the moto to go up next to the riders on Chr. Winthersvej.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Ouch, I was hoping that wouldn't happen.

 

[WheelofGear]

Wow that was great. A true bottleneck climb!

 

[RedheadDane]

That was a pretty impractical place they needed to pass that car...

 

[Danskebjerge]

Go Leknessund.

They should have used Gl. Kongevej for the cars. Maybe the Shimano car missed that.

 

[WheelofGear]

Chr Winthers Vej should be permanent on the route. Love the fight for positions. It's like watching a real classics.

But the full stop at the bottom was lame. Reminded me of that ditch fail at Ribe.

Gl. Kongevej was fenced off. Mad.

Let me get this straight; three of the National Team riders crashed early in the race. Two of them abandonded?
Guys... you're useless!

I need to see a bunch sprint up that descent on the new road..!

That is at least part of bike racing. That car blocking the road on the other hand!

Read Axelgaard's live ticker. Oh, so he's commenting a flat stage in Poland?

My guess is they had assessed the gap between the breakaway and the peloton and thought they could make it up the steepest part in that gap. But then they came up to the dropped breakaway riders and couldn't get past them, obviously.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Not a big peloton anymore ...

 

[WheelofGear]

UAE under pressure.

 

[Danskebjerge]

This race looks a bit like the Vejle stage last year - with early attacks from the favourites.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Oops, 2 x DSM in the break.

 

[Samamba]

Basically all leaders in that group. Could be it. Don't think Lotto should be happy with this tho. You want to keep De Lie close. Doubt Berckmoes can win this.

 

[WheelofGear]

You could make such a perfect spring classic with early action here.

World Tour Vejle > World Tour Copenhagen

 

[Netserk]

Camera moto killing the break.

 

[RedheadDane]

Breakaway got the wrong way...

 

[E_F_]

Oh dear.

 

[Danskebjerge]

Camera moto killing the break.

Yeah, no matter what police and officials are doing, the riders will tend to follow the motorbike.
