For this race, I travelled to Denmark together with my cycling buddy Daan. We got invited to the 11th edition of the Viking Granfondo in Denmark which is now officially part of the L'Étape by Tour de france series. L'Étape Denmark is a 300km race across the country over a natural ridge used over the centuries by migrants pilgrims and Vikings to stay dry as they moved across Denmark. The race ends in Viborg, Viborg means ”holy mountain”. It’s one of Denmark’s oldest cities with traces all the way back to ancient times. On the way to Viborg we raced for the 3 well known Jerseys of the TdF, the Yellow, polkadot and Green sprinters Jersey. On the route there are 4 climbing KOM segments and 3 sprint segments that are timed, the fasted accumulated times will count towards the jersey and the first that crosses the finish will win the Yellow. We were focused on the GREEN!!
