Lars-Petter Nordhaug (Team Sky) wygrał trzeci etap Tour of Denmark. Dzięki temu Norweg objął prowadzenie w klasyfikacji generalnej.
We wczesnej fazie wyścigu zawiązała się ucieczka w składzie: Anton Vorobev (Katusha), Simon Eiby (Denmark National team), Sven Vandousselaere (Topsport Vlaanderen-Mercator) and Nikola Aistrup (Concordia Forsikring-Himmerland). Ale peleton kontrolował stratę i doścignął uciekinierów 20 kilometrów przed metą.
Nordhaug potwierdził swoją siłę wygrywając na królewskim etapie do Vejle. Pokonał Wilco Keldermanna (Rabobank) i Ramunasa Navardauskasa (Garmin-Sharp) po finiszu z ucieczki.
28- latek, który w tym roku już dwa razy triumfował w barwach Sky objął prowadzenie w „generalce” w bardzo dobrym momencie, bowiem w sobotę odbędzie się etap jazdy indywidualnej na czas. O trzy sekundy wyprzedza Andre Greipela (Lotto).
35. miejsce zajął Jarosław Marycz, który stracił 13 sekund do zwycięzcy. 53. był Jacek Morajko, a Michał Gołaś 54.
W „generalce” najlepszy z Polaków, Jarosław Marycz jest 17 (strata 21 sekund).
