The start order and times for the time trial in Copenhagen on 1st of July 2022
Hereunder you'll find the start order and times for the time trial which makes up the first stage of this Tour de France 2022:We see that the big general classification contenders, and thus the leaders of most of the teams, start relatively early. If they ride a good time they might get a very long lasting sit in the hot seat, but this choice is motivated by the fack that some rain is expected at the very end of the day in Copenhagen, which would make the roads humid and slippery and could thus lead to crashes. The team prefer not to take any such risk.
