Read moreViborg is one of the oldest cities in Denmark, with Viking settlements dating back to the late 8th century. A motte-and-bailey-type castle was once located in the city. Viborg takes its name from a combination of two Old Norse words: vé, meaning a holy place, and borg, meaning a fort.
Viborg Gadeløb is a short one-day road bicycle racing starting and finishing at Rødevej inside Viborg city center. And are routed via the famous Viborg Cathedral. The construction of the cathedral started in 1130 and took about 50 years. The building has burned to the ground and been re-built several times.
From the Cathedral the riders will turn to the left over the brigde that crosses the lake inside Viborg city center, and follow the Randersvej to Houlkærvej. The route then goes north on Houlkærvej, before it hits the roundabout at Nordre Ringvej. The riders that mange to take the left side in the roundabout will save some time, but its not enough space for everyone to take the shortcut. Will we see a big crash here?
If the riders stays on there bikes, they will then go west on Nordre Ringvej before they hit a new roundabout that will take them back again to the city center of Viborg. This is first of six rounds around Viborg, before the winner will be decided in a mass sprint at Rødevej.
