"This was a great day for us, I was confident I could win" - Christophe Laporte on his Tour of Denmark victory
CyclingSunday, 21 August 2022 at 05:00
Christophe Laporte won the Tour of Denmark. He secured the last stage and gained enough bonus seconds to pass Magnus Sheffield in the general classification.
"This was a great day for us," Laporte said. He was confident in his teammate's ability, and they worked hard to prove him right. “After the chase, I was dropped in a good position. The team was fantastic. There was a steep climb before the line, but I was confident I could win," said Laporte.
However, he won’t get much time to celebrate his victory as the Frenchman will participate in Bemer Cyclassics alongside his leader Wout Van Aert. "I'm going to enjoy it now, and tomorrow we'll go for it again in Hamburg," Laporte concluded.

- Sorry but 50€ a day for an international hotel was already a joke 6 years ago. Combined with the fact a lot of them are international chains, this is just capitalism as the West has taught. I think the business term used now is « dynamic pricing « and it happens everywhere. Maybe some will now reflect on how 3rd world delegations are discriminated by prices when they have always had to travel to meetings, hence distorting results and silverware. We will also still have to see how things work out visa-wise, how many participants will be refused as in Glasgow and on what basis? As regards Pog, the coach had better put in place a strategy to avoid his boycotting for personal political reasons, that’s at least as big a problem as logistics.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- By the way AI can only answer what it knows and there are many things it doesn’t and will never know.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- No but they spent a fortune on a cookie to predict the unpredictable. So much for tech and data and experts. Always useful in the service of opaque agendas.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- Pog doesn’t do xc, might never try and has admitted he’d have no chance against MVDP in this. Shame really because I’m sure quite a few fans would enjoy watching him try and it would complicate the discussion of who is more complete which almost completely ignores off-road talent. Anyway, merr Xmas to all, keep next season in mind as you let go at the table the next days ;-)Mistermaumau24-12-2024
- USA Cycling couldn't have predicted what would happen with the star-studded Dutch team...Pogboom24-12-2024
- i don’t know about it being a “nightmare” for mathieu, but he did lose. flanders is a similar nightmare i suppose for almost anyone who gets dropped on the paterberg at the end. very hard to chase back.OCexile24-12-2024
- yeah, i’m not sure you can say that van der poel was so dominant in the spring “because van aert wasn’t there.” who knows how wout would have farted against mathieu in those races, because HE WASN’T THERE. wout has never beaten mvdp in any cobbled monument, but maybe he would have IF HE’D BEEN THERE. maybe, just like mads, et al, he’d have gotten smoked. we’ll never know, BECAUSE…OCexile24-12-2024
- You are dreaming. MvdP has won Flanders 3 times and come second twice, once against the Pog in a very close race. He has convincingly beaten the Pog directly in MSR twice as well.Velovibes24-12-2024
- USA Cycling is just such a good institution! ...And they wonder why I don't do their races anymore!acem8224-12-2024
- MvdP is just afraid losing Pogi on his sight. Since 2023 Tour of Flanders is a nightmare for him when he dropped.
