Analysis
No ordinary race for the Movistar Team as this is the penultimate road event with the Blues for Annemiek van Vleuten. The flame starts to shut off, and the myth starts, with one of the greatest of all time, who already made the Telefónica-backed squad’s fans happy in 2021 with one of her first stagerace WorldTour victories with the team. The race will again visit two countries, Norway and Denmark, with a ‘jump’ in between via ferry.
The inaugural stage (Wednesday 23rd) will take the peloton to the traditional finishing point of the event, with two ascents of the Fredriksten fortress (1.3km at 6.5%) and a torturous finishing circuit in Halden. A day later (Thursday 24th), the Queen stage to Norefjell will see the bunch climb through a different, harder side: Djupsjøveien (Cat-1), which includes a 1km, 10% slope halfway through plus another 2km al 9% before the summit at 8km to go. And watch out for the day’s length: almost 160km…
After a quite hilly stage three (Friday 25th) with an uphill finish in Larvik (last km at 4.5%; a previous slope at 6%), the race will head towards Danish roads. On Saturday 26th, a 16km flat ITT in Herning should seal the overall result, while on Sunday 27th, a lumpy final circuit in Haderslev will get the riders 4x over a finishing slope of 700m at 5%.
