Update: Tour de France 2022 route revealed

The 2022 Tour de France is set to pay a visit to the cobblestones of Paris-Roubaix and return to Alpe d’Huez for the first time in four years, with the Alps followed by the Pyrenees and another penultimate-day time trial to decide the yellow jersey ahead of the finale in Paris. 

The route for the 109th edition of the Tour de France will officially be unveiled in Paris on Thursday but, as ever, details have been slipping through the cracks.
