Sunday, August 5: 5th & final stage, Faxe - Frederiksberg, 198.8 km

Wout van Aert enjoys his 2018 Tour of Denmark win.

The race: Here's the report from second-place Max Kanter's Team Sunweb.

The day wasn’t the most straightforward of sprint stages with a very fast and hard opening hour followed by the day’s early break being caught as the peloton split in crosswinds mid-way through the race. It was not until the final 80km when a break of five finally formed and the bunch settled into a rhythm behind.

The peloton always looked in control from there on, reeling in the final breakaway riders in the closing kilometres, and despite a flurry of late attacks it was all together for a fast finish.

The team brought Max up into position well in the closing kilometres and he gradually pulled up alongside the eventual winner but was unable to get past before the line.

Overall, Max also finished the race 14th overall, with Lennard Kämna just behind in 17th.

After the race, Team Sunweb coach Morten Bennekou said: “I am very satisfied with the stage we did today, regarding both the process and the result. Even if Max was just a few centimetres from the victory. We obviously learned from the stage two days ago and that’s what it’s all about – a learning process from race to race. And in that perspective it also makes very good sense to combine our programs as we did here in Denmark with our stagiares.”

Friday, August 3: Stage 3, Næstved - Vordingborg, 178.4 km

Tim Merlier wins the third stage.

The race: Second-place Riccardo Minali's Astana team posted this report.

Riccardo Minali took second podium place at the third stage of the Tour of Denmark (178,4 km). Astana Pro Team rider did a very powerful sprint at the finish line in Vordingborg, but was passed by Tim Merlier just with a few meters to the line. Another Astana rider Hugo Houle finished 10th.

- The team did a very good job and my teammates helped me really well during the whole day, so I thank them for that. The final sprint was quite chaotic and nervous, everyone wanted to stay in front. It was quite dangerous. Perhaps, I started my sprint a bit later than I had to do it, so the Belgian rider passed me right before the finish. Anyway, I did my best today and I could be satisfied with the way I did this stage. As result I have a second place, but the main thing is today I felt much better than in the first two stages. On Sunday I will have another opportunity, so I will try to fight for a win, - said Riccardo Minali.

- By my opinion, Riccardo did a very good sprint and he could not do something more. The rider who won was just a bit better today. We still have two days here in Denmark and in both stages we have chances to get a nice result, - added sports director Lars Michaelsen.

After the third stage the Belgian rider Wout Van Aert still leads the general classification, while Astana’s Hugo Houle moved up to 8th place (+0.21).

The individual time trial of 19,1 km in Nykøbing Falster will be held tomorrow as stage 4 of the Tour of Denmark.

Wednesday, August 1: Stage 1, Aalborg - Aalborg, 218.4 km

Lasse Norman Hansen takes the first stage.

The race: Here's the story from winner Lasse Norman Hansen's Aqua Blue Sport team.

Lasse Norman Hansen will ride in the blue leader’s jersey at PostNord Danmark Rundt on Thursday, after outwitting the sprinters to win stage 1 in incredible style.

The day had been long and controlled, with a four-man break working steadily and the peloton calm for the first half of the 218km race. Flat terrain pointed towards a sprint finish, and the bulk of teams present wanted to make that happen.

Aqua Blue Sport came to the fore after 100km of racing and shared the work at the front, keeping Hansen and fellow Dane Casper Pedersen in contention.

It was the latter who was favoured to take Wednesday’s opening stage, having won the first stage in 2017 and gone on to finish third on General Classification.

Pederson is the sprinter amongst the two, but this was not his day. Nor was it to be for any of the sprinters whose teams had worked tirelessly for more than 200km of racing.

It all kicked off when the break came back inside the final 20km. The pace in the peloton rose and all attempts at escape were solo and quashed. Everything said bunch sprint, but Hansen thought otherwise.

With just over a kilometre to race, Hansen attacked. He went all-in, put his head down and gritted his teeth. He disappeared out of sight around the final two bends, the peloton now in full panic.

As they straightened for the line the chasing bunch was in full sprint, Hansen was refusing to look back. He powered on to win by the narrowest of margins, punching the air as he crossed the finish.

Hansen said: “It was a fun stage today the team did a good job. There were a few crashes and mechanicals but overall the team worked hard and Casper and I tried to finish it off in the end. It all worked out.”

Hansen will lead the team into stage 2 on Thursday, wearing the PostNord Danmark Rundt blue leader’s jersey for the first time. There are 172km to race from Viborg to Vejle with a sharp finishing circuit of 5.7km at the final.
