Will Tadej Pogačar continue with a third Tour de France victory? In any case, the double winner is preparing for it, and identifying the key stages of the Tour 2022. The Slovenian was thus in the Pyrenees, this Wednesday, May 18. With his UAE Team Emirates teammate, Rafal Majka, he rode in the final of the Saint-Gaudens – Peyragudes stage.
The finish of this stage on the roads of Comminges and Bigorre will be particularly difficult on July 20: the line will be drawn at the top of altiport 007 in Peyragudes, after a 16% climb! The site was used for the filming of the James Bond film “Goldeneye”, in 1997. But above all, on the Tour de France, it saw a resounding victory for Romain Bardet, in 2017.
Tadej Pogačar should continue his reconnaissance work in the Lot this weekend. He should spot the penultimate stage of the Tour de France 2022: a 40 kilometer time trial, perhaps decisive, between Lacapelle-Marival and Rocamadour.
