Tour de France 2022: Women ‘s competition was reborn as an eight – stage route Tour de France

For the first time, Elite women sat alongside fearless elite men in the Paris Cave auditorium when their route was unveiled. Rousse, who described it as a real honor to be the leader of the women’s Tour de France, added that: The women’s competitions we now have are jewels to cherish.

After starting with the Champs lysis, the women’s tour takes a zigzag east to the Vosges and Haut-Rhin, sprint stages, gravel trails through the Champagne vineyards and the last weekend with high climbs culminating in a 24% gravel climb to the Super Planche des Belles Filles.

We wanted to start in Paris, Rousse said of the women’s tour. In just eight steps, we couldn’t go down to the Alps or the Pyrenees, the transfers would be too long. The women’s Tour de France champion wins 50,000 (42,300), and an additional 200,000 pot is available for winners of stages and classes.

Instead, the yellow jersey winner on the men’s tour wins 500,000 (traditionally shared with his teammates), and there is still a prize of more than 2 meters for the stage winners and class winners.

Lizzie Deignan, women’s opening winner Paris-Roubaix This month was an important day for cycling, not just women’s cycling. It is a key indicator that sport is still advancing, as we can now compete in the world’s most famous cycling race. I think the organizers have done a really good job of preparing the route for this edition.

It showcases the best stage offered by women’s cycling that is suitable for all types of riders, which I really hoped for. The route is designed to offer an entertaining race from start to finish, but also to reach the final stage of the crescendo with a finish at Super Planche des Belles Filles, one of the most difficult climbs for professional cycling.

Rousse added: The stages are clearly shorter in women than in men’s races. Men can drive 225 km. For girls, the longest race on our list is 175 km and we even needed special leave.

Each stage is dynamic, different and interesting, Deignan, who drives for Trek-Segafredo, said. I am particularly interested in the fourth phase between Troyes and Bar-sur-Aube; Unpaved roads are unusual and something we don’t often encounter. The inclusion of a stage with gravel areas means that it is likely to become a full rider winning the Tour de France Femmes.

The men’s race starts in Copenhagen on July 1, and the Grand Dpart presents the Danish love affair on two wheels, starting with a 13km individual time race. The other two Danish phases are followed by a 900 km transfer to the coast of northern France for straight flat phases.

The men’s tour then runs south towards the Vosges and its own goal in the Super Planche des Belles Filles, before it passes the Jura and then to the Alps, when the summits end at the high Col du Granon and on Bastille Day, the hairpin ladder leading to the Alpe dHuez.

The abandonment is likely to take place in the climbs of the Pyrenees, which have proven to be the foundation of the Tour champion’s success Tadej Pogacar in both 2020s and 2021. The Peyragudes and Hautacam summits fit the Slovenian, whose recent victory in the Italian classic Il Lombardia further strengthened his dominance in the peloton.

The final time trial on the 40 km route between Lacapelle-Marival and Rocamadour sums up the final result of the race before the final round of walking to the Champs lysis, which is planned after the opening phase of the women’s race.

Pogacar, clearly the winner, regardless of country, already has his post-championship defense plan. When I finish my tour, I go to the RV to watch the women’s tour, said the UAE team leader Emirates.
