Let's now discover in detail the Tour de France 2022 race route, stage by stage:CONTINUE READING AFTER THIS ADVERTISEMENT
1/ Friday 1st of July - Copenhague 🇩🇰 > Copenhague 🇩🇰 - individual time trial - 13.2 km
The first stage of the Tour de France 2022 will take place as an individual time trial and will thus both start and finish in Copenhagen. The start and finish location are only 500 meters apartt.The race route will be entirely in the city and on flat roads and will come by several remarkable points such as the Kastellet citadel and the famous statue of The Little Mermaid before a finish following the Tivoli park close to the Town Hall.
Hereunder you'll find the time- and route schedule, the profile and the race route on Open Street Maps for this stage. Click on the images to open them.
- start : the start will take place on the Nørre Farimagsgade in Copenhagen
- finish: Hans Christian Andersens Boulevard in Copenhagen at the end of a straight line of 600 m / width 6 m
- main cities: Copenhagen
2/ Saturday 2 July 2022 - Roskilde 🇩🇰 > Nyborg 🇩🇰 - 202,2 km
After this individual effort, the Grand Départ of the Tour de France 2022 in Denmark continues with a stage without much difficulties, which starts in Roskilde, west of Copenhagen and former capital of Denmark and the rest place for the kings and queens of the country.The riders will leave north-west via the fjords of Inderbredning, Holbæk Fjord and Lammefjord before a detour towards the north-west coast of the country to go find the Veddinge Bakker, one of the rare places in Denmark with a bit more important altitude differences.
They'll thus climb the Côte d'Asnæs Indelukke (4th category, 1.1 km @ 5.4%), the Côte d'Høve Stræde (4th category, 800 m @ 6%) and the Côte de Kårup Strandbakke (4th category, 1.3 km @ 5.8%) which summit will be reached after 84 kilometers. What follows is a visit south-west, following the coast line up to the sprint in Kalundborg before going straight south following the west coast of the country where the peloton could break up in parts because of the wind.
When they get to Korsør the difficulties with the wind will not be over yet because they turn right there to get onto the Storebælt bridge (Grand Belt) which is no less than 18 kilometers long and which brings them directly towards the finish city of Nyborg "riding on the sea", just like in 2015 with the finish in the province of Zealand in The Netherlands.

The 3rd and last stage of the Grand Départ of the Tour de France 2022 in Denmark will start in Vejle.Around this start city, the organisors went of to find a minimum of hilly terrain, but there's only one real climb, with an altitude of 55 meters, which can be found there, the Côte de Koldingvej, which is just south of the start but which will be on the race route after a little bit over 27 kilometers thanks to a detour north-west of the start.
The race then continues south, via Kolding, the Côte Hejlsminde Strand and the intermediate sprint of Christiansfeld. Continuing south, the riders will climb the Côte de Genner Strand and continue down to Aabenraa where the race route will turn south-east towards the finish in Sønderborg, close to the border with Germany, where the sprinters teams will have done all they could to see this stage end in a bunch sprint.

T/ Monday 4 July 2022 - transfer towards Lille
After these 3 days of the most northern Grand Départ in the history of the Tour de France, this Monday 4 July is reserved for the transfer towards the north of France, and more precisely towards Lille, even though this will actually be done for the riders the night before and this is thus in some way an extra rest day.CONTINUE READING AFTER THIS ADVERTISEMENT
4/ Tuesday 5 July 2022 - Dunkerque > Calais - 171.5 km
The 4th stage, the first of this Tour de France 2022 which will take place in France, will start in Dunkirk where the Tour will make its comeback for the first time since 2007, and it'll be the 20th time in its history. This stage will take place from one location on the sea side to another, Calais (two cities which are almost neighbours), but that doesn't mean the race route will be completely flat. Indeed, this stage will go find both the Flanders mounts as the Boulonnais mounts, to get to a total of 6 difficulties. This height difference, combined with a risk of wind in the final when the riders get close to cap Griz-Nez and cap Blanc-Nez, might lead to a stage which will not end in a bunch sprint but see a small group resist until the finish!Hereunder you'll find the time- and route schedule, the profile and the race route on Open Street Maps for this stage.

In 2022 it'll be towards Longwy that the riders will go, in the longest stage of this Tour de France 2022. At 6 kilometers from the finish they will however find quite some difficulty, with the steep wall which forms the Côte de Pulventeux (800 m @ 12.3%), immediately followed by the Côte des Religieuses (1.6 km @ 5.8%) where the finish line will be drawn.Hereunder you'll find the time- and route schedule, the profile and the race route on Open Street Maps for this stage.

From there, the riders will be off to the Vosges department and more precisely La super Planche des Belles Filles, which means the finish at la Planche des Belles Filles continued on a half-paved road, which was built in 2019. This will be the first altitude finish of this Tour but we can't really call this a mountain stage because even though the race route is more than hilly (and la Planche is preceded by two other climbs [the Col de Grosse Pierre and the Col des Croix), what will be most important is the out-of-the-blue climb of la Planche des Belles Filles at the end of the stage.Hereunder you'll find the time- and route schedule, the profile and the race route on Open Street Maps for this stage.

After its descent it's slightly uphill again, towards the finish in Châtel, station of the Portes du Soleil ski area, of which the mayor Nicolas Rubin has been waiting for the comeback of the Tour since his first election in 2008 while the Tour is now coming for the 2nd time, after a time trial between Morzine and Châtel in 1975!

Morzine which saw the Tour de France already 20 times before. The destination will be another ski station, Megève, but even though this stage thus takes place in a mountaineous setting, it'll not be a mountain stage because the race route which has been drawn to be completely in the Haute-Savoie department shows, apart from the final climb towards the Megève altiport (1,382 m) and the finish line at an altitude of 1,460 m, a quite reasonable uphill height difference!Hereunder you'll find the time- and route schedule, the profile and the race route on Open Street Maps for this stage.

11/ Wednesday 13 July 2022 - Albertville > Col du Granon Serre Chevalier - 151,7 km
After having visited the Olympic capital (Lausanne) a few days before, the Tour de France returns to the Olympic city of Albertville. Albertville is maybe one of the cities which has the highest number of visits of the Tour de France in the past few years. In a few years, Albertville collects the Tour de France visits because, while in the history of the Tour it'll be only the 7th time, Albertville has seen no less than 4 stage starts these 6 past years (2016, 2018, 2019 and 2021) and we now add the 5th out of 7 years this year!!This time it'll be a real Alps stage which awaits the riders from this Olympic city. A relatively short stage with its 151.7 kilometers but in which we find right at the end of the first third of the stage the climb of the Lacets de Montvernier (782 m) and after a visit of Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne the riders attack the following climbs of the Col du Télégraphe (1,566 m) and Col du Galibier (2,642 m), which makes its comeback since 2017 and thus has the honours to award the Souvenir Henri Desgrange to the first rider arriving there on top. We'll than be at 45 kilometers from the finish and after a long descent the riders will still have to do the final climb towards the finish on top of the Col du Granon (2,413 m) where the Tour returns only for the 2nd time for a finish since the one in 1986. This stage thus represents a climbing height difference of 4000 meters.

Via the barrage de Grand'Maison the stage descends towards Allemond and goes on till Le Bourg d'Oisans, at the foot of the final climb, the famous 21 numbered bends of the Alpe d'Huez (1,850 m).This stage is the one which represents the highest uphill height difference in this Tour de France 2022, 4750 meters, and it'll be an exact copy of the stage between Briançon and the Alpe d'Huez in 1986 when Bernard Hinault and Greg Lemond crossed the finish line together.

The start of the 15th stage will be in Rodez in the Aveyron department, the city of Pierre Soulages, a famous painter.Just like two days before, it'll most probably again be a stage which finishes in a bunch sprint, while usually the stages which finish in Carcassonne are more likely made for a breakaway group. Carcassonne is a stage city for the 12th time already in 2022 and goes up real fast in the previous years with visits in 2014 (start), 2016 (start), 2018 (finish, rest day and start), 2021 (finish and start).

After this rest day, the start will also be in Carcassonne for this 16th stage which announced the start of the 3rd and last week of racing in the Tour de France 2022.And that'll be for an entrance in the Pyrenees area, with two difficulties in the last part of the stage, starting with the Port de Lers (1,517 m) which summit will be reached on kilometer 125.1 and after its descent the riders will start the climb of the Mur de Péguère (1,375 m) after which they'll have 27.2 kilometers downhill left until the finish in Foix.

A real Pyrenean stage, short but dense in difficulties, will be on the programme this Wednesday 20 July 2022, with a start in Saint-Gaudens which will see the Tour de France come by for the 16th time already, the last time for a stage finish in 2021!While the first half of the stage is quite easy, the Col d'Aspin (1,490 m) will be the first difficulty the riders will find on their road and things will follow up on each other rapidly from there, with the Hourquette d'Ancizan (1,564 m) and after its descent till Saint-Lary-Soulan the Col de Val Louron-Azet (1,580 m). After the descent towards Loudenvielle and its lake, the riders won't be at the end of what makes this stage difficult because they'll still have the final climb to do, towards Peyragudes (1,580 m), which presents an average steepness of 7.8% over 8 km, and a final part at 16%.

For the 18th stage of the Tour de France 2022 we could have returned to Pau as the usual suspect on the map of the Tour de France for the 73rd time in 2021, but this time it'll be the city of Lourdes which was chosen and, like in 2018, the start will take place from the Sanctuary, for this Pyrenean stage.Until Laruns, no single rider will have any difficulties in following the race, but after about sixty kilometers things get more difficult when they arrive on the climb of the Col d'Aubisque (1,709 m). After the Col du Soulor, they'll descend towards Ferrières and immediately go on with the Col de Spandelles, which will be part of the Tour de France race route for the very first time! A descent and a visit of Argelès-Gazost later, the riders will start the final climb towards Hautacam.
