Description

Alex looks ahead to the 2022 Tour de France, and all the excitement that the next three weeks of racing will bring. Tadej Pogačar looks to win his third straight Tour whilst Primož Roglič, Jonas Vingegaard, and others look to stop him. We start in the most northly location in Tour history, as the race starts in the Danish capital of Copenhagen, before traveling back to France for some grueling stages, with visits to Switzerland and Belgium just for fun. There's nods to the infamous 1986 Tour, an 18km bridge, and hors catégorie climbs that look beyond terrifying. 

This episode is dedicated to Richard Moore, who passed away earlier in the year age 48. My love of cycling wouldn't be as strong without him. Rest in Peace.
