Tour de France 2022
For two years, the Tour de France was dominated by the corona crisis.
At the 109th edition, normality should finally return: From July 1st, a total of 23 teams and 184 drivers will be fighting for the coveted yellow jersey.
For the first time this year, three stages lead through Denmark, including the start of the individual time trial in Copenhagen.
On July 24th, the winner will be chosen on the Champs-Elysées in Paris.
The man to beat is again Tadej Pogačar.
After his successes in 2020 and 2021, the Slovenian is again the top favorite.
