Tour de France 2022 route map When does the race start Ineos tour de France team – AP
What is this race, and why should I care?
It is only the 109th edition of the Tour de France, one of the three Grand Tours, the others being the Giro d’Italia and the Vuelta an España.
Regardless of what some believe, this is the biggest and boldest cycling race in the world, with an estimated 80 percent of the sponsorship revenue of most WorldTour teams around the Tour.
Founded in 1903 by Henri Desgrange, editor of the newspaper L’Auto, the Tour may not be the favorite stage race of cycling connoisseurs. Still, it captures the imagination of the wider sporting public. As a result, the race is the largest annual sporting event in the world, with more live spectators than even the Olympics or the World Cup.
When does the Tour de France start?
The Tour de France kicks off this year with an individual time trial of 13.2 kilometers through Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, on Friday, July 1, 2022.
