Completely forgot the Tour of Denmark started yesterday, which is pretty bad given I live here...
Mads P took the stage on Bornholm from a reduced bunch sprint - the profile looks like it was classics style small kickers.
It was the first time the race has visited the island, which is in the middle of the Baltic and despite having a population of under 40k has a CT team BHS-PL Beton Bornholm sponsored by two Bornholm based companies. Famous riders from Bornholm: Magnus Cort.
EDIT: Just caught up with the highlights, classic Mads P style win, forced a small selection on a small kicker 32km out, destroyed the group of nine in the sprint. He had Skjelmose with him as well, which was overkill for the stage really
Today is pan flat and will probably be a Philipsen win.
The rest of the stages are a flat 21km TT, and then two classics style stages with laps including 5-7% 500m-1km kickers.
GC favourites are Mads P, Skjelmose, Dylan van Baarle, maybe Magnus Cort

Surprised Philipsen is riding this. Is there a possibility he's using it as a warm up for the Vuelta?
IMO, Pedersen already has the GC sewn up unless there is an internal arrangement to give it to Skjelmose. There's nothing to suggest in Cort's recent form that he's going to be able to overturn a 58 second deficit on Pedersen. Dylan van Baarle is there to give him something to do until he joins Quickstep.

I think both Skjelmose and Mads will target stage wins along the way, so there's every chance Skjelmose ends up finding himself ahead of Mads on the GC. The official line is that they're here for the GC and it doesn't matter which one takes it home. I'm thinking they'll probably be aiming for the sort of total domination they had in the Deutschland Tour last year. Mads P definitely the favourite.
I hadn't seen quite how much time Cort had lost there, no he's not going to get that back.
No idea about Philipsen - there's nothing official in his race schedule as far as I've seen. It should be a decent race for him. Jakobsen is the only other out and out sprinter of any renown in the race, and he's hardly having a season to remember. He won't be all that scared of the small kickers in the more classics stages either.

I went to Bornholm when I was eleven with the Boy Scouts 30th North West Leeds. I can’t remember much about it other one of the Danish Scouts stuck an axe in his foot.

It's popular as a holiday island. Pretty quiet, good for a family bike tour on the national cycle route (105km round, and can easily be chopped into 3,4,5 stages depending on kids ages), lots of good ice-cream shops to stop at, in small fishing villages. I've never been myself, but it's on the list at some point.
