Preview stage 3. One of the most prestigious non-World Tour races late in the year, the
Tour of Denmark is a great preparation race for the final classics of the season and this year is directly after the World Championships. It takes place from the 15th to 19th of August.
Stage 3 is a traditional Denmark day. The riders find the Velje circuit, a very difficult one where the GC has in the past been decided. That may happen again on this day, although it's not terribly hard it features two laps of a very punchy final circuit with multiple climbs and very steep gradients included. Additionally, the day is also 209 kilometers long which will weigh heavy in the legs of some.
