Road cycling events in Denmark are gaining popularity especially after Mads Pedersen won the Road World Championship in 2019, and Jonas Vinegaard won the Tour de France in 2022.
With a flat and well-maintained road network, Denmark is an ideal location for road cycling events for cyclists of all levels. From amateur fun rides to professional races, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
One of the most popular types of road cycling events in Denmark is the Gran Fondos. These long-distance rides offer a challenging but rewarding experience for participants, and often include beautiful scenery, food and drink stops, and a festive atmosphere.
