The 2022 Tour de France kicks off on Friday, July 1st with a pan-flat, 13.2 km time trial in Copenhagen that will offer the time trial specialists a chance at the yellow jersey. Riders will pass iconic landmarks such as the Tivoli Gardens and the Little Mermaid, and at the end, somebody gets to wear the Tour’s first yellow jersey.
You can read all about the stage in our comprehensive Tour de France preview.
Tour de France organizers have released the prelimary start times for the stage 1 time trial. We say preliminary because given how things are going, it’s bound to change a bit. We’ll update this list as necessary.
The start times listed below are Copenhagen local time. That translates to:
They’re a bit all over the place, with a lump of key riders right after 5:00 pm local time. Filippo Ganna, the odds-on favorite, starts at 5:03, then Wout van Aert at 5:04, then Tadej Pogačar at 5:05. Roglič is 40 minutes earlier at 4:20.
For our Aussie viewers, Ben O’Connor starts at 4:40.
Bad weather is a possibility, which is likely why many teams have chosen to put their top riders in the middle of the group. Wind is supposed to pick up after 5 pm, and light rain is possible.
