Tour de France 2022 LIVE - Can Quick-Step make it three from three, or will Wout van Aert win in yellow?

So does Sean 'King' Kelly apparently. If that's not a reason to cancel your Eurosport subscription...

175KM TO GO - WHEN WILL MAGNUS BE CORT?

All on his own, he's already got two minutes on the peloton. The first climb is 27.3km into the stage so he shouldn't be out there for too long. We'd expect him to sit up after that, or at least have company.

Speaking to Bernie Eisel earlier, EF "My plan is to get one more mountain point at least, and then I can keep the mountains jersey for another day."

He gives the thumbs up to the camera, and we get a shot of the spotty trim that has been applied to his bike computer. Looks to be pushing about 100 watts at the moment.

KM0 - AND THE'RE OFF

No delays today, as Prudy releases the race at the planned kilometre zero obelisk. The uphill start sees Magnus Cort Nielsen, in resplendent polka dots rather than revolting dragons, shooting off up the road straight away. He's got no friends with him, this morning, B&B Hotels chastened by their failure to take anything from yesterday.

Velkommen and bienvenue to live coverage of the Tour de France 2022. It's our final day in Denmark. The peloton is a bit more relaxed today that yesterday, with the first few days out of the way, the wind not expected to play havoc and no whopping great bridges at the end of the stage. Despite what some will say, there are no boring days at the Tour de France. What do the next 182km have in store?
