Tour de France 2022 Stage Maps!

The official stage by stage guide of the Tour de France 2022!

Stage 1: Copenhagen - Copenhagen

Image: Tour de France 

A completely flat time trial through the Danish capital gets the Tour started on a rare Friday slot. This full-speed slalom through a city that has given its name to a measure of how bike-friendly the biggest cities are is sure to go down with the specialists, but the GC contenders will need to work to avoid time losses.

Stage 2: Roskilde - Nyborg

The teams will need to be careful of the crosswind in stage two. After three category four climbs, the riders then take in the wonderful scenery of Zealand before crossing the Great Belt Fixed Link in what’s sure to be a real treat for those watching at home but could prove a tricky task for the riders to keep the peloton together.

Stage 3: Vejle - Sønderborg

Image: Tour de France 

Stage three starts up in the hills of Velje with a categorised climb only 27km into the race (1.4km, 4.4%). Another climb at Hejlsminde Strand (850m, 4.7%) follows before an intermediate sprint close to Christiansfeld – a UNESCO World Heritage site. The breaking pack will head onto the third climb at Genner Strand (1.6km, 3.3%) before a race to the finish at Sønderborg.

Stage 4: Dunkerque - Calais

A hilly stage kicks things off as the race heads into France. Expect a showing from British fans across the Channel.

Stage 5: Lille Métropole - Arenberg Porte Du Hainaut

Image: Tour de France 

The cobbles are back. Expect plenty of frantic action and plenty of slipping as the Hell of the North returns to the Tour.

Stage 6: Binche - Longwy

Stage six sees the Tour come back to Longwy, scene of Peter Sagan’s famous win 2017.

Stage 7: Tomblaine - La Super Planche Des Belles Filles

Image: Tour de France 

It’s a gruelling stage seven with a 7km climb to the summit finish at La Super Planche Des Belles Filles, with the final 1km playing out on unpaved roads.

Stage 8: Dole - Lausanne

Image: Tour de France 

Starting in the birthplace of Louis Pasteur and finishing in neighbouring Switzerland, with three categorised climbs before the riders cross the border where after around a 15km descent, the route then rises again for the last 5km.

Stage 9: Aigle - Châtel Les Portes Du Soleil

Image: Tour de France 

A first for the Tour de France as the race heads to the home of the UCI in Aigle. The first-half of the race is relatively friendly for the sprinters, before the route really ramps up after a 13.3km climb at Col des Mosses. After that, there’s a category one climb at 7.6% before the race heads back down to Aigle and back up a 15.4km climb to a second category one at Pas de Morgins.

Stage 10: Morzine Les Portes Du Soleil - Megève

Image: Tour de France 

It’s another saunter into Switzerland in a fairly short, but tough stage 10. It’s a hilly route for the most part before a flat 25km section before a summit finish to the airport at Megève which hits 7.1% for the last 200 metres.

Stage 11: Albertville - Col Du Granon Serre Chevalier

Image: Tour de France 

Stage 11 starts in the foothills of the Alps and ends in a gruelling summit to the col du Granon. An hour of flat racing starts things off before 3.4km at 8.2% at the Lacets de Montverrier prepares the riders for what’s to come. The Col du Télégraphe is just short of 12km of climbing at 7.1%, before the Galibier puts the riders through another 17.7km ascent at 6.9%.

Stage 12: Briançon - Alpe D'Huez

Image: Tour de France 

The Bastille day stage sees the riders tackle the infamous Alpe d’Huez. The Galibier makes another appearance at the start before a descent down The Col du Télégraphe. After around 80km, it’s time for the huge 29km climb up the Col de Croix de Fer before a sprint friendly 30km descent. Then, it’s up to the resort town via a climb that hits around 11.5% towards the end.

Stage 13: Le Bourg D'Oisans - Saint-Étienne

Image: Tour de France 

The tour heads down from the mountains as the race for the green jersey gets back on track. The first 27km are a steady descent, but there’s a chance the Côte de Brié for King of the Mountains contenders to claw back some points. Expect a small group for a spring finish to Saint-Etienne.

Stage 14: Saint-Étienne - Mende

Image: Tour de France 

It’s another airport themed stage as route 14 takes the riders to Mende Airport. It’s a huge 192.5km in total, which will see the riders head up and down in a day that has five classified climbs, but with a perfect breakaway section around 70km in. The finish at the Mende landing strip sees the riders hit a 3km, 10.2% climb with a short descent before another climb to the finish.

Stage 15: Rodez - Carcassonne

Image: Tour de France 

It’s a day for the sprinters at stage 15, where Mark Cavendish won his 34th stage in 2021. The 202km race has plenty of climbs and plenty of fast descents.

Stage 16: Carcassonne - Foix

Image: Tour de France 

Starting in the foothills of the Pyrenees, stage 16 includes two decent climbs, including the Mur de Péguère which is not to be underestimated. Beginning relatively easy, Mur de Péguère suddenly hits 13% for a kilometre and gets steeper still at 18%.

Stage 17: Saint-Gaudens - Peyragudes

Image: Tour de France 

A really tricky day in the saddle awaits at stage 17. The second-half of the race sees four categorised climbs packed in tightly, including Col the d’Aspin (12 kilometres at 6.5%), Hourquette d’Anzican (8.2 kilometres at 5.1%) and Col de Val-Louron-Azet (10.7 kilometres at 6.8%). The final 8.4% climb takes the riders up to ‘James Bone airport’ – Altiport 007 Peyragudes.

Stage 18: Lourdes - Hautacam

Image: Tour de France 

It doesn’t get any easier either. Stage 18 doesn’t let up with a race specially-designed for the mountain goats among the peloton. Col d’Aubisque (16.4km, 7.1%) acts as an intermediate climb before a descent to Ferrières. The good news is the final climb to the ski resort of Hautacam is a scenic one, but the bad news for the polka dot contenders is that this is the last day in the mountains.

Stage 19: Castelnau-Magnoac - Cahors

Image: Tour de France 

The sprinters welcome a return to flat roads for stage 19, with two modest climbs and a flat finish to the medieval town of Cahors which is likely to end up as a bunch sprint.

Stage 20: Lacapelle-Marival - Rocamadour

Image: Tour de France 

For the third consecutive year, stage 20 will be an individual time trial. Two small climbs at Côte de Magès (1.6km, 4.7%) and Côte de l'Hospitalet (1.5km, 7%) wait at the finish in a race that could go a long way to deciding the yellow jersey if the GC is close.

Stage 21: Paris La Défense Arena - Paris Champs-Élysées

Image: Tour de France 

It’s the traditional finish to the Champs-Élysées in what promises to be a landmark day for cycling in Paris as the first ever Tour de France Femmes rolls out just before the showcase finale.
