Copenhagen > Copenhagen

Distance: 13.2 kilometers.

Time Trial.

Yves Lampaert (DQT – 056) [Yellow] 00 hours 15 minutes 17 seconds
Yves Lampaert (DQT – 056) [Green]
Tadej Pogačar (UAD – 001) [White] 3

Stage winner: Yves Lampaert (DQT – 056)
Team: Jumbo – Visma ( TJV – 011-018 ) [Yellow numbers]

Because this is the first stage and a time trial, there is no award for Combative, nor for the Polka Dots as there were no climbs. Wout Van Aert (TJV – 016) wore the Green because he was second and Yves Lampaert obviously preferred the Yellow.

The Tour has changed its results table for this year and I’m having to do a lot of manual work that I had automated in previous years.
