The first Danish stage winner was Mogens Frey in 1970. His team owner Jean de Gribaldy wanted the team captain Joaquim Agostinho to win. Agostinho actually crossed the line first but was disqualified for holding back Frey by grabbing his handlebar.
Two Danes have won the general classification, Bjarne Riis in 1996 and Jonas Vingegaard in 2022 and 2023.
