Cort has quickly built a five-minute lead over the leisurely peloton, and he’s about halfway to the first climb of the day, the Cote de Koldingvej. The day’s three climbs are all category four, meaning they are worth just one point each in the King of the Mountains classification.

170km to go: Denmark’s very own Magnus Cort Nielsen (EF Education) is in the King of the Mountains’ polka dot jersey today, and he’s straight off up the road looking to get to the first climb of the day before the rest to ensure he will still wear the polka dots come the Tour’s arrival in France on Tuesday.

Here we go then – stage 3 is under way in Denmark! Just 180km to go...

Here’s what happened yesterday, as Fabio Jakobsen claimed his maiden Tour de France stage win after a chaotic finish on day two:

Fabio Jakobsen avoided the pitfalls of a chaotic finish to stage two of the Tour de France to deliver an emotional victory in Nyborg, Denmark.

Jakobsen, making his Tour debut less than two years after suffering life-threatening injuries in a crash at the Tour of Poland, stayed clear of late spills at the end of the 202.5km stage from Roskilde to come around Mads Pedersen and beat Wout van Aert – who consoled himself by taking the yellow jersey.

The day had been designed to build up to fireworks on the 18km-long Great Belt Bridge in the finale, but it was after the peloton returned to dry land that the key incidents occurred as a crash blocked the road inside the final three kilometres, leaving a select group of sprinters to contest the honours.

Once this three-day jaunt in Denmark is over, Tte Tour will pack its bags and head to north-west France over Monday’s first rest day. Here’s what’s to come:

The stage is scheduled to begin at around 12:15pm BST and should finish around 4:15pm BST.

Here’s a look at the route, from Vejle to Sonderborg:

There are three category four climbs which the man in the King of the Mountains’ polka dot jersey, Magnus Cort Nielsen (EF Education), will target for more points to strengthen his grip. There is also an intermediate sprint shortly after the second of those climbs where the man in sprinters’ green, Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), will hope to pick up some points.

Crosswinds could play a factor, especially in the second half of the route when the road hugs the coastline, and the main contenders will need to be wary of any potential attacks which could split the bunch. After yesterday’s crashes, staying safe and making to the finish intact will be the overriding priority of those hoping to challenge near the top of the general classification, like double champion Tadej Pogacar (UAE Emirates) and Denmark’s very own Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma).
