We take a first glimpse at the different stages of next year’s Tour de France which were announced yesterday in Paris and analyze the difficulties and challenges of the route.
The Tour 2022 starts in Copenhagen and stays in Denmark for the
first 3 stages, before traveling to the North of France. The first
week will be mainly flat but very stressful, particularly with the
return of the cobblestones on stage 5. On stage 7 we will have the
first real test for the big favorites with the finish on La Planche
des Belles Filles. Then it’s towards the Alps with the return of
the famous climb of Alpe d’Huez and from there to the Pyrenees
featuring the extremely hard climb of Hautacam.
The last big test will be the 40km long individual time trial on
the second last day before the peloton finally enters into
Paris.
In all, a very well balanced yet quite hard course which will be
won undoubtedly by the strongest cyclist supporter by a very solid
team.
