2021 Tour de France race to start in Denmark
Print Edition
The Tour de France will start in Denmark in 2021, beginning with a ride in Copenhagen followed by two more stages around the country.
The opening stage on July 2 will be a 13-kilometer flat run around the capital. “It is an honor to have the grand depart in Copenhagen,” race director Christian Prudhomme said yesterday. A 190km stage between Roskilde and Nyborg, a town on the island of Funen, will follow. That stage will include pedaling on the windy bridges that make up the Storebaelt rail-and-road link. The last stage before heading back to France will be in the hilly Jutland peninsula between the towns of Vejle and Soenderborg. The contract for the 90 million kroner (US$13.7 million) Danish start was signed yesterday by Prudhomme and Copenhagen Mayor Frank Jensen. Danish Prime Minister Lars Loekke Rasmussen, himself an avid cycling fan, called the Tour de France “the most iconic cycling race of all time.” Other details of the 2021 Tour de France route were not disclosed.
