Winner by a squeak, was Danish rider Christian Andersen.

There was a brief flurry of killing, then the Danish riders, with nothing tojhow for their attack, rode away westwards.

He started his career as a track racer, riding six-day races with shifting partners, including the Danish riders Michael Sandstød, Tayeb Braikia, and Jimmi Madsen.

Bjarne Riis, the Danish rider who won the Tour in 1996, was known as "Mr 60 per cent" among riders.

No Danish riders compete in the two other disciplines.

Team Post Danmark is a team of Danish riders, whose teams don't enter the race.

The Danish rider had given incorrect information to Rabobank's sports director about his whereabouts which followed on from earlier reports that he had missed previous doping control tests.

However, he took part 9 times in Giro d'Italia, and is to this day the Danish rider with the best GC finish, 7th in 1973 + 3 stage wins.

A later collision with the Danish rider Ole Ritter broke his jaw.

Meeting was won by Danish rider Brian Andersen.
