While the men have just started the Giro d'Italia, which this year starts in neighboring Hungary. In terms of the three-color jersey, they can certainly get along with each other. It is in any case a unique situation this year, with all three of the major rounds starting in a country other than the home country. Of course Utrecht is the proud host of the Vuelta And Denmark, with Copenhagen as its landmark, is the host of ‘Le Grand Départ’. We are the lucky ones who can already explore all the routes of the Tour de France in this Danish country next week. We are following the Tour with Cycling Destination!
Copenhagen – Roskilde – Nyborg – Vejle – Sønderborg
The pros, I have to explicitly mention that this is about the men, are leaving for a time trial through the city. Stage 1 brings the peloton with a nice detour to the finish in Nyborg, just across the Great Belt Bridge. Then the second stage is between Vejle (pronounced Weile) and Sønderborg. A wonderful showcase for the country and the possibilities on a bike. The island Fyn It turned out a bit bad. It must have had something to do with money.
Travel report
Starting Monday, you will find an update here every day with a beautiful travel report. We will be traveling along the same route as the pros in several stages, although unfortunately we cannot cross the bridge by bike. That is reserved for the men’s team. If you still want to experience that: on June 11th the ‘Tour de Support belt‘. You can then drive across the beautiful Belt Bridge for a day. It’s worth considering. We will keep you informed and will be the first to share the most beautiful tips. Will you keep reading?
Routes of the trip
Here you can find the routes we ride. If you are going to Denmark yourself, you can also get some inspiration here. Especially the stretch towards Roskilde and then onwards to Nyborg is beautiful. It is wonderful to be in Jutland. The Pedaleurs have already discussed this in their midlife gravel ride. Many happy miles in ’the land of everyday cycling!’
