Tour de France 2022 with SPOILERS

Another flat one today.
Apart from filling ASO's pockets with cash, I'm not sure the effort, logistics and rider irritation is worth the start in Denmark.
It's not even interesting scenery.

Yes, it is another record and fast forward to the last 15km day.

I’ve loved everything about the Grand Depart so far, the team presentation in the Tivoli Gardens was terrific and all those crowds out for yesterday’s stage were magnificent. I have to admit to being a bit of a fan of Denmark, I’ve visited twice and loved it.

What does it cost....think I read 5 million euros ? There again pretty good for a tourism advert maybe.
Didn't do Yorkshire any harm and look at the sh1thole that is...
I'm from Lancashire 😁

Is a push to the head different to a punch to the head - David Gaudu?!
(Is the rule different if you are the lead French rider in a French race?).

It was Stefan Küng, who is Swiss, not Gaudu.

I'm not sure what conspiracy theory fits that. Maybe Küng lives next door to UCI HQ

Do we know yet if Tadej Pogačar is on a different brand of tyre?

I'm still struggling to comprehend the "New" Christophe Laporte!

We still get tourists riding the 2014 TDF route.

Avoiding Lancashire

(I may live in Yorkshire but I'm an East Midlander by birth. You're all funny northerners to me )

Ah - realised now, ITV4 got it wrong (at least 3 times!).

Denmark is largely dull. I think they overpaid

Why all the hate for Denmark?

I think it looks amazing and it’s great to see the locals cheering all along the route without crowding all over the road and hassling the riders.

Not hate but just a pointless waste of effort, money and resources. This stage is a bore-fest of an exhibition for Cort so far, instead of what should be a competitive stage in the world's greatest cycle race.
In my humble etceteras...

Punters complain about flat stages in the first week of the tour being boring. Hold the front page.
