A sprint for the first yellow jersey?published at 12:27 British Summer Time 24 July 2022
The opening stage of the race follows a familiar route around the Champs-Elysees in Paris, as seen in the men's Tour de France as well as three editions of La Course by Le Tour de France between 2014-16.
The peloton will complete 12 laps of the 6.8km loop, passing the Jardin des Tuileries and Place de la Concorde, before racing down the cobbled boulevard towards the Arc de Triomphe.
