The Tour de France 2022 has arrived with a stacked field of riders ready to take on the twists, turns, climbs and falls of the Alps and beyond.
The 109th edition of the world-renowned cycling event comes with a twist: it won’t actually begin in France. Instead, riders are set to begin the Tour in Scandinavia.
Denmark will co-host the Tour de France with the first three stages to be held there. Copenhagen will kick-start the event and it will draw to a close 640 miles away in Paris.
Reigning champion Tadej Pogacar returns with the aim of recording his third consecutive victory in the Tour, a feat achieved by Chris Froome several years ago.
Fans around the world will be keen to keep track of all the unfolding events and dramatic moments live on TV and online, and UK fans have more than a few options to choose from.
