Introducing our Tour de France selection

Our eight Vikings will soon set sail for the Grand Depart in Copenhagen

“The big goal is to win at least one stage, but I think with the group we have that we can do even more than that. It’s a clear goal for the Team and for Mads to go for the stages in Denmark. Firstly, he will try to do a super time trial in Copenhagen, and then we can try to grab some bonus seconds if the yellow jersey is within reach. We have two big riders for the cobbled fifth stage: Jasper and Mads. From there on we will try to be in all the breakaways, and we have smart riders who know how to win from this position.” – DS Kim Andersen
