Denmark will be the venue for next year’s Grand Départ. It opens with a fixed time of 13 kilometers in the capital, Copenhagen. Immediately an opportunity for Wout van Aert to beat Yellow. The second stage (199 km) and the third (182 km) are also held on Danish soil, each time with opportunities for runners. Although in the second stage you have to look forward to the final pass over the Storebælbro, an 18 kilometer bridge over the Great Belt strait. If the wind is there…
A rest day is planned for the fourth day of the tour – then Peloton will travel from Denmark to northern France. The fourth stage ends in Calais, but it is already looking forward to the fifth stage. This would be a challenging cobbled stage, with Wallers-Arenberg and no less than eleven cobbled sections arriving. Ranking guys are already holding their breath. Belgium can also welcome the tour back. Hainaut Binche is actually the starting point for the sixth stage, which crosses (large parts of) Wallonia and reaches French Longwy.
In the first week, the peloton awaits its first grueling finish, at the Super Planche des Belles Filles, where Dylan Teuns triumphed in 2019 and Tadej Pogacar mastered the Tour in 2020 in a stunning time trial. We’ll have plenty of finishes going into the next round, with finishes on Col du Granon, Alpe d’Huez, Peyragudes and Hautacam as executioners in particular.
(Probably) the Tour will get its determination in the final beta, on the penultimate day. Between Lacapelle-Marival and Rocamadour, the riders must travel 40 kilometers. On July 24 – of course – the traditional end will be on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. With Wout van Aert winning again?
