Stage 2 of the Tour is an almost flat 202.2km stage from Roskilde to Nyborg. The route contains some moderate climbs, but they do not stand in the way of a sprint. If it is windy, that can have a much bigger impact on the result.
The riders will pedal into Roskilde, about 30 kilometres west of Copenhagen. They will continue west and explore the Odsherred peninsula. The landscape was formed 17,000 years ago during the last ice age. The only three categorised climbs of the day are in this area.
Riders have to tackle Côte d'Asnæs Indelukke, Côte d'Høve Stræde and Côte de Kårup Strandbakke within 25 kilometres. The route then continues on flat terrain to the finish in Nyborg.
There is one more possible obstacle on the route that could cause a stir. Storebælsbroen is not a hill, but an 18-kilometre bridge over the sea. The wind has free play there, if it wants to. Moreover, the Storebælsbroen rises, albeit at modest percentages.
