Dylan Groenewegen finds Tour de France redemption from ban with stage three win

If Yorkshire's Grand Depart eight years ago was reet grand, the Tour de France's long weekend in Denmark was, in local parlance, virkelig godt.

No sooner had Dylan Groenewegen won his first stage on Le Tour for three years, edging out Wout Van Aert in a photo finish, than the circus evacuated Scandinavia and began the 600-mile transfer across northern Europe to Dunkirk for Tuesday's 106.5-mile fourth stage to Calais.

Great race, shame about the carbon footprint. At least they won't have to battle through the Brexit theme park also known as Dover to reach Calais. For flying Dutchman Groenewegen, triumph at the end of the 113-mile migration from Vejle to Sonderborg came with a huge dollop of redemption.
