‘Danmark Rundt’ is a Danish stage race for professional road bicycle racers organized as a part of the UCI Continental Circuits. It is currently known as ‘PostNord Danmark Rundt’, as it is sponsored by the Danish national postal agency, and in English language media is sometimes called the ‘Tour of Denmark‘. The race was first run yearly from 1985 to 1988 and, after a break of 7 years, from 1995 onwards: it attracts approximately half a million spectators on the road. The 2019 edition had 20 teams, with 6 riders each, participating in 5 stages. The race has been on the UCI ProSeries calendar since 2021, after being cancelled in 2020. Traditionally, the race starts off on the Jutland peninsula and ends on Frederiksberg Allé in Copenhagen. Since 2004, one of the stages has included the steep street Kiddesvej in the city of Vejle: it’s this hilly stage and the time trial that usually determine who will win the general classification.
