For the first time, the Tour de France will begin in Denmark. Stage 1 will be an individual time trial of just 13.2 km (8.2 mi) in Copenhagen. I will once again be modeling the world's most famous bicycle race. My research student this summer is Michael Charecky, a rising junior physics major here at the University of Lynchburg. We are excited for the start of the race!
Our prediction for Stage 1 is given below.
- Stage 1: 15' 21" (prediction)
Whoever wins the short time trial will get to don the famed yellow jersey for Saturday's second stage. The man to beat this year is the winner of the past two Tours de France, Tadej Pogačar. Who can knock PoGo off his pedestal?!?
