Danmark Rundt
Danmark Rundt is a Danish road bicycle racing stage race. It is current sponsored by the Danish national postal agency Post Danmark, and thus also known as Post Danmark Rundt. The race was first run yerly from 1985 to 1988, and then after a break of 7 years, from 1997 until most recently 2005, with no plan to end it. It has approximately half a million spectators on the road, and half the Danish population follow in on the media.
Currently, 15 teams with 120 riders participate in the 6 stage race.
In 2005 Ivan Basso (Team CSC), just returned as the overall runner-up in the 2005 Tour de France, totally dominated the race, and won overall as well as 4 out of 6 stages. Since the race was run the same time as the UCI ProTour race Eneco Tour, only three UCI ProTour teams participated.
In 2004 it was won by Kurt-Asle Arvesen, after his CSC team mate Jens Voigt let him win a stage.
