If it happened on Wednesday, as Tour director Christian Prudhomme stopped by a random French radio station, in fact, was the presentation of Copenhagen as the starting location for the Tour de France by 2021, it was the least spectacular publication of the prestigious ’Le Grand Départ’ ever.

It is then an embarrassing insult to the Danish champions, for several years, for its own account, has put a big effort to pull over to Denmark. It considers Ekstra cykelsportskommentator, Michael Rasmussen.

– It is a most remarkable way to convey the news. I think, you can feel sure that the course actually comes to Denmark, but that it should be published in this way, is a big mistake, says Michael Rasmussen.

– Usually neglects the ASO (the Tour organizer, red.) no chance to demonstrate how great the Tour de France is, but here it is good enough gone completely awry.

Prudhommes kæmpebrøler is anything but the hallmark of the driven sportspolitiker. He is eloquent and intelligent and has a high degree of attention to the promotional value, the Tour has.

Thus are the Tour routes announced at a grand event in the Palais de Congrès in Paris, while the ASO also builds the tension to breaking point as new hosts for ’Le Grand Départ’ to be appointed.

Except this time, all the signs.

” come under all circumstances, and it will be magnificent, overwhelming, spectacular, grandiose. Exactly, as it is every time, says Michael Rasmussen.

– It will be the largest sporting event ever on Danish soil, and it will be hardly surpassed, for Denmark, it is now even too small for both the WORLD cup and OLYMPICS, says Rasmussen.

the Tour de France is the world’s biggest annual sporting event.
