Favorites for Victory Based on 2025 results, the top favorite is Anders Foldager: his win at De Brabantse Pijl and top finishes in high-profile Belgian races make him the man to beat. Jakob Söderqvist is a serious contender after his second place at Boucles de la Mayenne. Watch out for Mads Landbo, winner of the Grand Prix Herning on Danish roads, and Mads Andersen, who has shown consistency. Among the sprinters, Milan Menten and Casper Pedersen could be decisive in bunch finishes. Finally, Toon Aerts and Joshua Gudnitz are luxury outsiders. The Tour of Denmark is often shaped by windy, rolling stages — race reading and fitness will be key. Mark your calendars for July 29 to see who will succeed in the race's history.
