Welcome to… Denmark?! The most northerly Grand Depart in Tour de France history kicks off cycling's most famous race. Stage 1's pan-flat opening time trial does not rise higher than 15 metres above sea level although it has no fewer than 23 tight turns packed into just over 13km of riding in the centre of Copenhagen.
Is this the year someone works out how to stop Tadej Pogacar? The Slovenian two-time defending champion starts as a big favourite again, with the usual cast assembling to halt his three-peat bid. Primoz Roglic, the man who was cruelly unseated from yellow on the last competitive stage in 2020, and Geraint Thomas, the rejuvenated 2018 champion, are among those fancying a pop at the youngster – and both Ineos Grenadiers and Jumbo-Visma have assembled fierce squads in an attempt to crack him.
Chris Froome will race in a 10th Tour de France after being named in Israel-Premier Tech’s eight-strong team. The four-time champion is enjoying his best season since his horror crash at the 2019 Criterium du Dauphine, which left him with a fractured neck, femur, hip, elbow and ribs.
Chris Froome is “definitely not” winning the Tour de France again, according to Eurosport expert Robbie McEwen. Froome’s hopes of joining Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain on five yellow jerseys look increasingly unlikely as he continues to look a shadow of his former self. Ad/> The Brit has not been the same rider since his horror crash during a recon ride at the Criterium de Dauphine in 2019, which left him with a fractured neck, femur, hip, elbow and ribs.
Forget Ashleigh Barty and the triumphant cricketers, Robbie McEwen has named Jai Hindley “Australian of the year” after his heroic victory at the Giro d’Italia. Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) became the first Aussie to win the Giro on Sunday, ending the country’s 11-year wait for a Grand Tour winner and banishing memories of his traumatic final day in the 2020 edition. Ad/> He saw Britain's Tao Geoghegan Hart wrestle the maglia rosa off his shoulders in the decisive time trial 19 months ago, but there was no repeat in 2022 as he comfortably held off former champion Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) to deliver a maiden Grand Tour win for himself and Bora.
The final climb of the 2022 Giro d'Italia looks set to have been the most decisive as far as the race was concerned after Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) cracked his pink jersey rival Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) in the Dolomites on Saturday. A calculated attack from the Hindley, supported by teammate Lennard Kamna, tested the resolve of Carapaz, but the Ecuadorian wilted and allowed his rival to eventually open up a 1'25" gap.
Robbie McEwen believes that Jai Hindley will not take his eye off the ball at tomorrow’s final Giro d’Italia stage after suffering heartbreak two years ago. Hindley went into the final stage of the 2020 edition level with Ineos Grenadiers’ Tao Geoghan Hart but it was the Briton who emerged victorious following the decisive time trial finale.
All pants and no trousers. That just about sums up Bora-Hansgrohe’s tactics on Friday’s Stage 19 where Jai Hindley’s team took up the pacing in the peloton for over 100km only to give up the ghost ahead of the final climb to the Sanctuario di Castelmonte.
