Chaotic Finale Ends In Bunch Sprint | Tour De France 2022 Stage 2 Highlights

The first road stage of the Tour sees the peloton ride more than 200 km from Copenhagen to Nyborg. While the elevation of the low lying Danish countryside is unlikely to have an impact on the race, long stretches of exposed coastal roads along with the 18km crossing of the Green Belt Bridge may leave the race vulnerable to crosswind chaos.

That heart at 1:49 was a fathers way to honour his sons memory due to comitting a suicide in the 90’s. Heartbroken the 25-year old couldn’t see any other solution. The heart has since being equipped with lights for winters and is also used by the community for birthdays, weddings etc. From deep sorrow to celebration of life.

[@carnicer78]

The speaker can pronounce properly (or almost) names in several languages, which is an amazing and distinct feature on that job: Danish, German, French, Italian, Catalan, Dutch, Spanish ... and probably more! Besides he also provides good content with good drama on the briefings.

[@johndododoe1411]

Destination today is SouthBurg, the southernmost castle city protecting us from the Germans after the decline of Hetheby at the end of the old border wall. Southburg ultimately fell to Bismarck's Prussian troops in the war of 1864 and was only regained as part of the 1920 French humiliation of Germany.

[@luckyspurs]

Feels like Christian Eriksen could lift the World Cup and it still wouldn't generate the excitement 3 days of Tour de France through the Danish capital and countryside has.

The first elevation happened before the start! 35m between the Viking Ship museum and the Cathedral. The riders looked like they had a hard workout when they got to the top of the climb.

[@paulbradford6475]

Essentially, there wasn't any elevation gain. I mean, what's 10 meters above sea level after all.

[@brianmessemer2973]

I'm upset about Yves Lampeart's yellow jersey. It looks ridiculous. I looked him up - he's 180cm (5'11") tall. Not a short rider. The jersey they gave him would look too big even on a tall rider like MVDP. The dude may never wear yellow again in his career, and he didn't get an appropriately sized jersey. Should have been done right.

[@StevenSkoczen]

I mean, he still wore the yellow jersey. Be honest - if it was you, and you're not a gc or at tt - but you'd won, would you care about the fit?

[@brianmessemer2973]

@@StevenSkoczen Point taken, I thought that too. In the moment he was too elated, but when he looks back on it, he'll see it wasn't right. He was an unexpected winner and I think that definitely had something to do with them not having the ideal jersey ready for him. At the same time though, it just looks, well, not professional. This race is broadcast around the world. If the TDF isn't the pinnacle of professional cycling, what is? I just felt like this guy got shabby treatment because he's not a big name in the peloton.
