Waaaaaaaiers: This should be the big day, when it comes to winds in the first week. People have been talking about it for days, weeks, months: the Belt Bridge and the kilometers before that. In the leader’s jersey is of course included from start to finish.
The riders will start at 12.35 pm in the festival town of Roskilde, where the big rock festival is also planned this weekend. Then the tough heads for a small hill phase in the northern part of Denmark, but this should not have a name for the seasoned pros. However, the polka dot jersey is up for grabs here.
From that moment on, actually after the intermediate sprint in the middle of the stage, it gets very interesting. In Kalundborg we turn towards the coast, for about 55 kilometers against the wind at an angle. Then we turn onto the sixteen kilometer long Belt Bridge, where the wind is probably upside down. Then we turn to Nyborg, where we will sprint with a small or large group.
Yves Lampaert logically starts in the leader’s jerseywhile a Quick Step team-mate of his as a great favorite for this ride starts: Fabio Jakobsen. The Dutchman hopes to be able to sprint in line for victory in his first Tour stage, but then has to deal with rival Dylan Groenewegen and other competitors such as Jasper Philipsen and Caleb Ewan.
