Watch Tour de France on TV: Channel, start time and how to catch highlights
The 2022 Tour de France sees Slovenian two-time winner Tadej Pogacar aim to claim a third yellow jersey in four years, but he is up against the reigning champion Jonas Vingegaard and his formidable Jumbo-Visma team.
And while Vingegaard and Pogacar are expected to fight out the yellow jersey, there is an open race to finish on the podium.
Australia’s 2022 Giro d’Italia winner Jai Hindley, Spain’s Enric Mas, rising Danish star Mattias Skjelmose, home favourite David Gaudu, 2019 Giro winner Richard Carapaz and Pogacar’s new teammate Adam Yates are all in the running, while Ineos riders Tom Pidcock and Dani Martinez could also end up high in the general classification. Ultimately it will come down to who can cling on to the wheels of Vingegaard and Pogacar the longest.
Here is everything you need to know about how to watch today’s stage.
