Chris Anker Sørensen

A giant painting of Chris Anker Sørensen has been displayed on a football pitch as a tribute to the late Danish rider during this year's Tour de France.

Turf Tank has also offered to paint three giant motifs of up to 30m by 30m in Denmark and then put them up for sale in auction, with the proceeds set to go to the For Chris campaign. "Together with Dennis Ritter and Kim Sivert Jensen, I founded the association For Chris to extend the conversation about Chris Sørensen, about grief and about road safety, and we are overwhelmed by the support." It has been made in honour of Sørensen and in support of the "For Chris" campaign that has raised DKK1.1 million (£127,000/$154,000/€148,000) in three months.
