Sprint teams are working to narrow the gap a bit here. It is going down slightly as the pilots run down the plane.

2022-07-02T12: 57: 19.213Z

Two days of suffering with this EF x Palace kit almost at the end for the Court.

2022-07-02T12: 29: 38.023Z

Cort hits Bystrøm at the top and raises his arms in celebration in front of the crowd.

2022-07-02T12: 28: 31.076Z

Now Cort and Bystrøm are tackling the third climb.

2022-07-02T12: 22: 24.489Z

It is 8 km before the riders reach the Côte de Kårup Strandbakke, the last climb of the day.

2022-07-02T12: 18: 32.992Z

Barthe and Rolland did not return to the front, after all. It’s 25 seconds less …

2022-07-02T12: 13: 34.085Z

130 km are missing

Cort leads the way over the summit. Two points and later he will go with the KOM shirt.

2022-07-02T12: 13: 10.163Z

It is close to the bend until the final stretch, but Cort advances on the last run uphill.

2022-07-02T12: 12: 48.847Z

Sprint!

2022-07-02T12: 12: 43.948Z

Now Cort hits the striker 250 meters.

2022-07-02T12: 12: 29.377Z

A point here for Cort and it will be polka dot.

2022-07-02T12: 12: 19.58Z

The B&B men return but will not arrive before the summit.

2022-07-02T12: 12: 07.052Z

Cort stands behind Bystrøm on the climb.

2022-07-02T12: 11: 06.679Z

There are still 16 seconds between the leaders and the men of the B&B.

2022-07-02T12: 10: 32.737Z

Three minutes between rest and platoon, as the leaders approach the second climb.

2022-07-02T12: 05: 16.040Z

It seems that Cort and Bystrøm are far ahead. The B&B couple is struggling.

2022-07-02T12: 03: 41.974Z

A look back at the platoon. BikeExchange, Jumbo, UAE all present in front.

Barthe and Rolland are 13 seconds behind.

2022-07-02T11: 59: 39.793Z

Cort takes the KOM point above to take the lead in the standings.

The B&B couple crosses the lead about 10 seconds later. It would always be hard to beat Cort there, but they really made a mess of it.

2022-07-02T11: 58: 49.310Z

Magnus Cort goes to the top.

2022-07-02T11: 58: 40.276Z

Now the four fugitives are about to face the climb.

Today there are three points to play: who will be the first holder of the Tour polka dot shirt?

2022-07-02T11: 51: 53.070Z

5 km from the first ascent of the Tour – the Côte d’Asnæs Indelukke.

They are 1.1km at 5.4% and the break will be fighting for a lone KOM point here.

2022-07-02T11: 45: 10.798Z

The pace has accelerated in the last few miles. 48 km / h is the average speed so far.

2022-07-02T11: 33: 54.682Z

All eyes will be on the Great Belt Bridge later.

Danish television reports that former Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen has recently crossed the bridge and reports a strong side wind there.

Great tribute to former Danish driver Chris Anker Sørensen, the winner of the 2012 Combat Award who died last September.

Obviously not everyone remembers who he was, going through the TV coverage here …

There is still a long way to go on the first climb of the Tour.

2022-07-02T11: 21: 37.784Z

Cort has been having words with the B&B duo at rest. He doesn’t seem to think they are struggling enough in the movement.

2022-07-02T11: 16: 27.566Z

False 172 km

At the moment nothing is happening on the road. 1:30 is still the void.

2022-07-02T11: 15: 12.072Z

2022-07-02T10: 51: 10.175Z

A quiet start to the stage. We can expect a quiet stage for much …

2022-07-02T10: 47: 13.567Z

There have been no other attacks. The four men on the road are almost two minutes away now.

2022-07-02T10: 46: 20.507Z

Lampaert and Van Aert at the exit today.

195 km are missing

One minute between the break and the peloton now.

The platoon quickly blocked the road and this movement of four people is already our break of the day.

2022-07-02T10: 42: 42.463Z

He is accompanied by the B&B Hotels-KTM duo Pierre Rolland and Cyril Barthe and Sven Erik Bystrøm (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert).

Missing 198 km

Now the flag has finally been lowered and we are on our way.

2022-07-02T10: 39: 15.992Z

Tim Wellens did not have a good day today, often losing his footing on the muddy pitch. Yates ’puncture has again delayed the start.

2022-07-02T10: 38: 17.801Z

Adam Yates stops by the side of the road. Looks like he could have a puncture at this early stage.

2022-07-02T10: 37: 23.765Z

And yet, the stage is not yet underway.

2022-07-02T10: 35: 29.631Z

202 km are missing

The runners roll around km0 and there is a bit of a delay in leaving the flag to start the stage …

2022-07-02T10: 29: 49.398Z

There are still 3 km from the neutral zone. So far it has been a slow deployment.

2022-07-02T10: 23: 02.523Z

2022-07-02T10: 15: 50.573Z

Lampaert is yellow today. Wout van Aert is dressed in green. Tadej Pogačar is white. Of course, there are no polka dot t-shirts yet.

It is almost time to start the stage.

2022-07-02T10: 12: 13.817Z

The Belgian also commented on the situation of the team’s COVID-19. Several staff members left the race after testing positive, including sporting director Tom Steels.

“It’s a shame because Tom Steels was one of the victims too. He’s my coach and the guy who took control with the car behind me, so it’s a shame I can’t celebrate with him. I called him. by video call.It’s not very fun but I hope he recovers well and can return to the Tour.

“At first I wasn’t so scared, but yesterday after the finish I hugged a lot of people, so now I start thinking‘ oh shit ’two hours after they are COVID-positive …
