Pretty entertaining for a mostly flat course with a couple of steep climbs, and good for the race that Lidl-Trek and Mads Pedersen likes to ride on the offense! I was very impressed that Haugsted managed to hang on for the sprint, even more that he managed to come third. I see he's won Frankfurt-Eschborn U23 this year so this type of terrain and course must be his force.

Not a strong field this year, but the Danish conti-riders are actually really strong. This type of hardman race is what they all do every weekend at local races, so I am not surprised so many managed to hang on. We will see them drop when the distance goes to 220 like on the Vejle-stage, most of them do 150-180 races max.

I agree about the timings, I expect them to be corrected unless it's a new sort of timekeeping system.
