Tour de France

The 109th Tour de France runs from 01 - 24 July 2022. As the planned Grand Départ from Copenhagen was postponed in 2021, this year’s route starts in the Danish capital. From there the athletes of 23 teams will cycle a total distance of 3,328 kilometres in 21 stages through the Hexagon. The cyclists will start their last stage in Lacapelle-Marival in the Occitania region before reaching the finishing line on the Champs Élysées in Paris, France.
