The 2006 Danmark Rundt was a men's road bicycle race held from 2 to 6 August 2006. Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara of Team CSC captured the overall title. It was the 16th edition of the men's stage race, which was established in 1985.
The 2006 Danmark Rundt started in Frederikshavn and the first stage took the riders across Vendsyssel before turning south towards Viborg. This was also the race's longest stage.
Route: Frederikshavn–Hjørring–Løkken–Brovst–Løgstør–Farsø–Gedsted–Skals–Viborg, ending with 2 laps of 4.5 km.
This meant that Aitor Galos Alonso lead the general classification, as well as the point classification. Aart Vierhouten lead the hill competition, Alex Rasmussen held the youth jersey, Jacob Nielsen the fighter jersey and Gerolsteiner lead the team competition.
Stage 2 took the riders south through Jutland, reaching the race's highest point some 170 metres above sea level at Yding Skovhøj. The stage also featured a rough 21% climb on Kiddesvej in Vejle which was included on both of the final laps.
Route: Aalestrup–Møldrup–Viborg–Dollerup Bakker–Kjellerup–Silkeborg–Gl. Rye–Yding Skovhøj–Uldum–Vejle, ending with 2 laps of 5.5 km.
