Tour De France 2022: All In.
“This has been the best Tour de France in years!”
Potentially.
It sure ranks up there. The battle between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar was amazing. Wout Van Aert was the most dominant rider in the Tour. There was no dull stage, and little was predictable.
Some remember the 1989 edition as the greatest Tour in recent memory with Lemond beating Laurent Fignon in the final time trial by 8 seconds, on the Champs Elysees. An American outlaw won from a French rider in Paris! Oh My!
Pogacar’s climb time trial win over Roglic only a few years ago, was reminiscent of the 1989 tour. Yet, it lacked in excitement in the weeks prior.
I remember the great 1986 battle between Lemond and Hinault as if it was yesterday. It was also a hot edition. The attacks were daily. Both riders went all in!
I’ll remember the 2022 Tour de France as one where riders went all in!
