"A month ago, the two Tour de France commentators Rolf Sørensen and Dennis Ritter invited His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on a bike ride in the streets of Copenhagen and alleys to test drive the first stage of the world's largest bike race."

Crown Prince Frederik met the Danish Tour de France participants Michael Mørkøv, Mikkel Honoré and Kasper Asgreen this morning and later attended the team's presentation at the Tivoli in Copenhagen:

It was a great pleasure when this morning I had the opportunity to wish Michael Mørkøv, Mikkel Honoré and Kasper Asgreen good luck with the Tour de France. They are all three riders on Quick-Step, which is the tour team where most Danes are selected! ������
Later today, I look forward to attending this year's team presentation at Tivoli, where I will have the opportunity to wish the other Danes good luck.
H.K.H. The Crown Prince

Indeed. It's been a long time coming.
Arriving for the team presentation

Unfortunately, the article in Lequipe is only for subscribers. Cannot see the article. Great Photo though.

I'm glad to see them. I'm even more glad to see them with a minimum of fencing off and protection and that their personal space is respected.
Frederik will also play a role at the two next lapses, today and tomorrow. He will be aboard or go aboard Dannebrog, which as I understand it will be sailing to near the finishing lines.
I see little reason why we shouldn't see more of the family. It would be a nice little cruise for M&F and friends and the crew needs practice anyway.
And more photos from yesterday with focus on Josephine and Vincent.

Dannebrog sailed under the Great Belt Bridge, just as the tour drove across. So prepare for some scenic photos.

"It is called “the world's nicest bike race” and all Copenhageners and guests are invited on Saturday morning when the Tour de Copenhagen takes place in the capital on yesterday's single start route
At a little over 8.00, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kicked off the first race, and together with Copenhagen's Lord Sophie Hæstorp Andersen, the Crown Prince subsequently cheered and greeted the many participants who had found the bicycle, helmet and water bottle."

As the peloton was crossing the bridge, Dannebrog came sailing in from the north under the bridge, while the containership Anna Mærsk sailed in from the south. Being the size of the Empire State Building, with a crew of 23 and 18.000 containers, she completely dwarfed Dannebrog!
I suspect it was arranged, but still made a great photo!

Frederik watching the Tour de France from the royal yacht Dannebrog. He will later today host a reception there for the tour

Yes, a mass shooting/terrorist attack took place in Copenhagen at around 17.30 with several killed and wounded.
Based on previous incidents the security around the DRF is put on high alert - which means more guardsmen and police are mobilized around the royal residences - including of course Dannebrog.
When a reception was to take place aboard Dannebrog, there would be a - albeit very remote - risk that the DRF and their guests would be targets. So better safe than sorry.
And it goes without saying that going through with a reception in the middle of an ongoing incident would be in extremely poor taste.
Based on the timing it looks like the decision to cancel took place when the police had a good idea of what is going on. And it was confirmed that it was not "just" a gang-shooting.

Dannebrog has now left Sønderborg.
The school holidays has started so we may assume that M&F planned to go on vacation after Tour de France. That may be delayed a bit if M&F wish to take part in some sort of commemoration in connection with the shooting in Copenhagen.
