Skodsborg Talks - Rolf Sorensen & Dennis Ritter
Skodsborg Strandvej 139, 2942 Skodsborg
The Tour de France is the world's largest annual sporting event, which has mesmerized generations of spectators and TV viewers across the globe. Especially in Denmark we love to dive into the Tour every year in July. month
With Rolf Sørensen and Dennis Ritter, you come behind the scenes and right into the commentator box and hear the stories of a close and trusting collaboration between the two, who have covered the Tour de France together for TV 2 for 20 years. Among other things, you will get the story of why the Danes have taken the Tour so close. A love relationship that culminated with three stages on Danish soil in 2022.
Dennis Ritter and Rolf Sørensen jointly published in March 2025 the book “Rolf & Ritter — Stories from 20 Years in the Tour de France”
In a talk interspersed with humor and self-irony, Rolf & Ritter lays out the stories openly about their collaboration and the highs and lows they've experienced - the mistakes they've made - and the victories they've celebrated. And then they focus on the current edition of the Tour, the magical duels between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar and analyze the Danish possibilities in the coming years.

About Kurhotel Skodsborg
Skodsborg – a healthy part of Denmark’s history
When you check in at Kurhotel Skodsborg, you are also checking into a piece of fantastic Danish history that is all about retreating for a while and re-energizing your body and mind.
In 1852, King Frederik 7 bought the country house Skodsborg with his wife, Countess Danner, and together they spent their long, relaxing summers here until his death in 1863. Villa Rex was built in 1857 so that the king could hold councils of state, meetings and banquets without leaving the scenic surroundings of Skodsborg. Villa Rex has been renovated with respect for history and is now used for parties and meetings.
