The 2022 Tour de France began in Copenhagen and finishes in Paris on Sunday 24 July, where Slovenian superstar Tadej Pogacar hopes to be wearing yellow and be crowned champion for the third year in a row.
Five-time Tour de France winner Bernard Hinault has suggested that the only way to stop defending champion Tadej Pogacar would be for teams to form a partnership. Pogacar, the winner of the last two editions, is not in yellow yet but is in a strong position in the race, particularly after the chaotic Stage 5 for Jumbo-Visma on Wednesday. Ad/> Speaking on Eurosport France, Hinault was asked about how anyone can compete with Pogacar.
EF Education-Easypost team boss Jonathan Vaughters admits Alberto Bettiol knows he “screwed up” on Stage 5 of the Tour de France after defying team orders. During a chaotic stage on the cobbles, Bettiol inexplicably helped UAE Team Emirates' Tadej Pogacar after hitting the front of the chasing group. Ad/> Bettiol had two team-mates, Magnus Cort and Neilson Powless, ahead of him in the breakaway, with the latter in with a shot of the claiming yellow jersey by the end of the day's racing.
The 2022 Tour de France sees Slovenian prodigy Tadej Pogacar aim to win a third yellow jersey in three years, but the favourite is up against some stiff opposition.
Tadej Pogacar made a major statement in his bid for a third straight Tour de France title as his main rival Primoz Roglic suffered the full effects of ‘the hell of the north’ and had to fix his own dislocated shoulder on a chaotic day on the cobbles around Roubaix.
ARENBERG, France: Simon Clarke of Israel Premier Tech won stage five of the Tour de France on Wednesday in a photo finish after a 157km run from Lille to Arenberg featuring 20km of cobbled mining roads.
EF Education-Easypost rider Alberto Bettiol's support for rival Tadej Pogacar during Stage 5 of the Tour de France was «horrendous», according to Eurosport's Robbie McEwen. With two team members up the road during the stage's cobbled section and one of them — Neilson Powless — in with a chance of taking the yellow jersey at the end of the day's racing, Bettiol inexplicably decided to hit the front of the chasing group, upping the tempo and allowing GC contender and UAE Team Emirates' Tadej Pogacar to make up some of the lost ground. Ad/> The goings-on didn't stop after the stage either, with Bettiol's team boss Jonathan Vaughters tweeting that it would be an «interesting debrief» and Bettiol retweeting a still image of him doing his work for Pogacar.
Bradley Wiggins reckoned that the cobbled Stage 5 of the Tour de France was «the most animated» in the 20 years the terrain has been a part of the race. The inclusion of the cobbles is always a talking point in the famous event, not least because it throws up so many unexpected incidents. Ad/> And it did so again on Wednesday as the riders travelled from Lille to Arenberg, with Team Jumbo-Visma the unlucky victims, seeing Primoz Roglic, Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert all experience problems.
