THE CITY OF SOUND REPEATS THE SUCCESS AND PRESENTS THE LE TOUR REVENGE 2020
Struer City and f Sports Group repeat the success from 2019 and present the Le Tour Revenge 2020.
On Tuesday 4th August 2020 spectators will once again have the opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the biggest cycling stars in the world.
EXPERIENCE THE BIGGEST CYCLING STARS
The spectators can look forward to an impressive star parade when the top cyclists occupy the City of Sound in Struer. At the forefront of the peloton, you will be able to experience Denmark’s most prominent cycling stars, the Astana rider Jakob Fuglsang and the NTT Pro Cycling rider Michael Valgren. The Danish riders will be prepared for this, as both Fuglsang and Valgren are arriving home from the Olympics in Tokyo just in time to join the race in Struer.
Fuglsang had a terrific season in 2019 and has several times mentioned it as the best season of his career. In that season he won, among other things, the race Liége-Bastogne-Liége and the 16th stage of the Vuelta a España. The start of 2020 could not have been better for Fuglsang, as he added another fantastic title to his otherwise impressive CV, namely the winner of the Vuelta a Andalucia.
Valgren also finished his 2019 season fantastically. He was 4th in the Brittany Classic Quest – France and placed sixth in the World Road Cycling Championships and Chrono Des Nations.
FUGLSANG IS EXCITED
Fuglsang’s participation in the Le Tour Revenge 2020 is a unique opportunity to see him on the Danish roads, as it will be the only race in Denmark that he participates in this year. Fuglsang is therefore very pleased with the repetition of this festive day in Struer:
“Due to an injury sustained during last year’s Tour de France, I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to participate as a rider in the Le Tour Revenge 2019. Therefore, it means even more for me to participate in this year’s version and thus give all the people attending and my Danish fans a unique experience. In other words, it can be the revenge for me in every way. It will be fantastic to ride my only race in Denmark here in Struer in the company of my friends and some of Denmark’s best riders. I am sure that it will be as big a success as last year and I look forward to feeling the atmosphere and greeting all the happy cycling fans.”
HUGE BICYCLE PARTY IN STRUER – FREE ADMISSION
The Le Tour Revenge is once again taking place in the City of Sound, Struer, on Tuesday 4th August 2020, where up to 15,000 spectators can watch the entire peloton race in the streets of Struer. The field will again, in addition to the two big stars, consist of other Danish and foreign Tour riders and the Danish amateur riders who will line up too. About 70 riders will cover many kilometres in the streets of Struer, generating a great atmosphere for everyone in the crowd. The exciting festival will once again be free to attend and there will be no shortage of atmosphere or music, with options to buy food and drinks.
When the opportunity again presented itself to host the race, Struer City grabbed it at the first chance. There is no doubt that Struer City is excited and ready for this.
