GP Herning

Grand Prix Herning is a one-day road bicycle race held in Midtjylland, Denmark.

The many paths and defects makes the race very selective, and it is often won by a solo rider or from a small group.

Grand Prix Herning gained prominence with Bjarne Riis's victories in 1996 (the same year that he won Tour de France), 1997 and 1998.

For several years the race was run as part of the UCI's calendar, with a fixed spot for the coming spring.

The race was returned in 2009, and was held until another break again in 2012 due to the Giro D’Italia start*11 in the city.
