The 2022 Tour de France embarks Friday with a challenging 3,350km course along the fjords and bridges of Denmark before arriving at French peaks and plains with stop-offs in Belgium and Switzerland on the route.
Two-time Tour de France winner Alberto Contador believes Geraint Thomas and Adam Yates represent the best hopes for Great Britain at this year’s edition, but warned against ruling out Mark Cavendish in future editions. Thomas and Yates are part of a three-prong attack for Ineos Grenadiers alongside Dani Martinez and the team are going to go into the race without naming an outright leader, preferring to wait to see how the race unfolds.
Geraint Thomas was happy to hear his prospects for yellow at this year’s Tour de France talked up by “Grandad Brad” Wiggins but insisted he will take things as they come over the next three weeks.
The 109th Tour de France will begin with a short time trial on the streets of Copenhagen on Friday.
The Ineos Grenadiers have confirmed their eight-man line-up for the 2022 Tour de France, and will be fronted by the star-studded GC trio of Geraint Thomas, Dani Martinez and Adam Yates. Thomas was the 2018 Tour winner and tasted success in this year’s Tour de Suisse. Meanwhile, Martinez emerged victorious in the Tour of the Basque Country and Yates has won multiple Tour stages.
Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) may not carry the “fear factor” of Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) – but that does not mean he should be discounted at the Tour de France, claims Bradley Wiggins. Thomas became just the second rider in history to claim career wins at the Tour de Suisse, Criterium du Dauphine and Tour de France with victory in Switzerland last week. Ad/> It has fuelled hopes he can make a surprise challenge at the Tour next month, with the Welshman expected to fight for leadership duties at Ineos alongside Adam Yates and Dani Martinez.
Geraint Thomas says he is “happy to do whatever” at the Tour de France after leadership questions emerged following his overall victory at the Tour de Suisse. Thomas, 36, became the first British winner of the Tour de Suisse after finishing second in the individual time trial on Sunday. Ad/> The 2018 Tour de France champion was not expected to lead Ineos Grenadiers but took charge after Dani Martinez lost time on the opening stage and Adam Yates tested positive for Covid-19.
With just two weeks to go until this year’s Tour de France begins in Copenhagen, professional cycling is once again reeling from an outbreak of Covid-19. British squad Ineos Grenadiers have been directly affected with Tom Pidcock the latest rider forced to pull out of the Tour de Suisse.
