"This was a great day for us, I was confident I could win" - Christophe Laporte on his Tour of Denmark victory
CyclingSunday, 21 August 2022 at 06:00
Christophe Laporte won the Tour of Denmark. He secured the last stage and gained enough bonus seconds to pass Magnus Sheffield in the general classification.
"This was a great day for us," Laporte said. He was confident in his teammate's ability, and they worked hard to prove him right. “After the chase, I was dropped in a good position. The team was fantastic. There was a steep climb before the line, but I was confident I could win," said Laporte.
However, he won’t get much time to celebrate his victory as the Frenchman will participate in Bemer Cyclassics alongside his leader Wout Van Aert. "I'm going to enjoy it now, and tomorrow we'll go for it again in Hamburg," Laporte concluded.

- Now we know the real secret🤣😁
- The UCI adheres to some archaic rules but does not consider serious infringements.🙄
- Isn't he on 6 million a year? Someone knows?
- Just a bit dizzy from having to take all those corners.
- That 2nd acceleration during the 1st.. Pheww.. Simply world class.
- Wuyts needs to take his pills. Van Aert was the only one of all 5 favourites that didn't carry out a real attack. Pogacar twice, Pedersen, Bettiol, MvdP..
- Ganna's gold medal win was really something. Bigham is position is very aerodynamic. Bigham was 2.2 s up at 3.25 k mark and Ganna won making up the deficit in 0.75 k.
- Nobody skips the Worlds!!
- He better could have skipped the Worlds. Someone needs to protect him from his own ambition.
- Their tactic was okay. But what tactics take into account the weather and the Mathieu van der Poel phenomenon
