A country of everyday biking

Denmark is one of the world’s greatest cycling nations. We are therefore very honored and excited to welcome the world’s greatest cycling race, Tour de France, to Denmark.

In Denmark, cycling is our heart and soul. We may have been Vikings once, but we are certainly Bikings today. Everyday cycling is a way of life in Denmark and part of our DNA. We bike to school and work. We bike to the beach and we bike in our spare time. In Denmark school children, young and old bike every day. And sometimes you can even find princes and prime ministers on a bike. In 2022 we all come together to celebrate our everyday world of cycling by hosting the Tour De France for the first time ever in Denmark. 

We want to create the most unique start of the Tour de France ever. In 2022 we will throw a huge party, cover Denmark in yellow and invite the whole world to join and experience a country of everyday cycling – where cycling provides a green, sustainable, fun and healthy way of living.  

Welcome to Tour de France Grand Départ Copenhagen – Denmark.
