Tour de France

For us, July means one thing: the Tour de France. But what is the world’s greatest bike race with just a race for men? For the first time since the 1980s, men and women will be on the startlines — and it’s about damn time.

Tour de France 2022: full team-by-team guide

Our in-depth look at every team, the main riders to watch and the cast of characters racing through France this summer

• Tour de France: stage-by-stage guide

Ag2R Citroën

Stalwart French battlers celebrated for wearing brown shorts who hired a host of multinational talent after their stalwart Romain Bardet left for DSM. This paid off last year when Ben O’Connor won the stage to Tignes and placed fourth overall. Behind the Aussie, however, they lack strength in depth.

Team Geoffrey Bouchard, Mikaël Cherel, Benoît Cosnefroy, Stan Dewulf, Bob Jungels, Oliver Naesen, Ben O’Connor, Aurélien Paret-Peintre.

Main man Ben O’Connor – talented climber who must prove last year’s fourth was no fluke.

Alpecin-Deceuninck

Second-division Dutch squad who punch far above their budget, thanks to the no-holds-barred racing style of Mathieu van der Poel, the most popular cyclist on the circuit. They won two of the first three stages and held the yellow jersey in 2021; this year, they bring sprinter Jasper Philipsen alongside MVDP.

Team Mathieu van der Poel, Silvan Dillier, Michael Gogl, Alexander Krieger, Jasper Philipsen, Edward Planckaert, Kristian Sbaragli, Guillaume van Keirsbulck.

Main man Mathieu van der Poel – a stage win and yellow last year. Great things expected 12 months on.

Arkéa-Samsic

This French division two team has plenty of potential for a stage win, with the former King of the Mountains Warren Barguil, the evergreen Colombian champion Nairo Quintana and the Belgian sprinter Amaury Capiot. The British strongman Connor Swift will support his leaders on the flat and probably infiltrate a break somewhere in his own right.

Team Warren Barguil, Maxime Bouet, Amaury Capiot, Hugo Hofstetter, Matîs Louvel, Lukasz Owsian, Nairo Quintana, Connor Swift.

Main man Nairo Quintana – the 2015 Giro winner is long in the tooth but can still shine in the mountains.

Astana Qazaqstan

The squad flying the Kazakh flag produced one of the worst team raps ever over the winter, and changed the spelling of its name by substituting Qs for Ks. That’s as exciting as this squad gets; they will figure in breaks and hope for a stage win from Joe Dombrowski or Alexey Lutsenko but don’t expect any drama.

Team Joe Dombrowski, Fabio Felline, Dimitri Gruzdev, Alexei Lutsenko, Gianni Moscon, Alexei Riabushenko, Simone Velasco, Andrey Zeits.

Main man Alexey Lutsenko – the Kazakh came a stealthy seventh last year and could make the top 10 again.

Bahrain Victorious

Several potential stage winners here – Damiano Caruso, Jack Haig, Matej Mohoric, Dylan Teuns and Fred Wright – but the big question is whether Caruso can replicate his form at last year’s Giro, where he came second and won a stage. Haig is a talented climber, while Mohoric and Teuns have landed Tour stages in the past, and Wright is due a major win.

Team Damiano Caruso, Kamil Gradek, Jack Haig, Matej Mohoric, Luis León Sánchez, Dylan Teuns, Jan Tratnik, Fred Wright.

Main man Damiano Caruso – consistent Italian climber who finished second in last year’s Giro d’Italia, and 10th in the 2020 Tour.

B&B Hotels-KTM

Flyweight French team whose poor results this season earned them the hairdryer treatment from management recently. That doesn’t bode well for the Tour, where they will figure in breaks and vie for the mountains prize when the big boys aren’t too bothered. A stage win would be a miracle but the race visits Lourdes so they can hope.

Team Cyril Barthe, Franck Bonnamour, Alexis Gougeard, Jérémy Lecroq, Cyril Lemoine, Luca Mozzato, Pierre Rolland, Sebastian Schönberger.

Main man Pierre Rolland. Ageing climber and non-stop attacker who is in decent form and will target the mountains prize.

BikeExchange-Jayco

Australian flagship deep in the WorldTour relegation quagmire, and without top climber Simon Yates. If Dylan Groenewegen can secure a fifth career stage win in a sprint and Michael Matthews gets moving in the hills, they are looking at a good Tour. If either of the pair has issues, however, there is little firepower to fall back on.

Team Jack Bauer, Luke Durbridge, Dylan Groenewegen, Amund Grøndahl Jansen, Christopher Juul Jensen, Michael Matthews, Luka Mezgec, Nick Schultz.

Main man Dylan Groenewegen – Dutch sprinter back from a ban in 2020-21, now flat stage favourite.

Bora-Hansgrohe

Last-minute decision to drop the former green jersey winner Sam Bennett in favour of a full-on GC challenge with dark horse Russian Aleksandr Vlasov – riding the Tour as a neutral – has raised eyebrows, especially as Vlasov is getting over Covid. The decision is inspired by Bora’s perfectly calculated Giro win with Jai Hindley; they are thinking medium term about preparing to launch the Aussie on the Tour. Schachmann, Konrad and Kämna are all capable of stage wins as well as support roles.

Team Marco Haller, Lennard Kämna, Patrick Konrad, Felix Großschartner, Nils Politt, Max Schachmann, Danny van Poppel, Aleksandr Vlasov.

Main man Aleksandr Vlasov. Winner of the Tours of Valencia and Romandie this season, and could well have won Switzerland had he stayed Covid free.

Guillaume Martin is a potential top 10 finisher, while there are several outside hopes for stage wins – Lafay, Thomas, Walscheid – even with Bryan Coquard out due to Covid. Plenty of individual talent for the flat and the mountains but it will take careful management to ensure they work in unison. If there isn’t goal clarity and role clarity, it could all get rather tense.

Team Pierre-Luc Périchon, Simon Geschke, Ion Izagirre, Victor Lafay, Guillaume Martin, Anthony Perez, Benjamin Thomas, Max Walscheid.

Main man Guillaume Martin – consistent French climber who now needs to make the jump from top 10 to top six.

The German team shone in 2020 with three stage wins but fell apart in 2021. Their best chance for a stage win is Romain Bardet, who was a contender in the Giro but dropped out with illness. They have a strong lineup behind the Frenchman, so will target their days and try to ensure they get several riders in the key moves.

Team Romain Bardet, Alberto Dainese, John Degenkolb, Nils Eekhoff, Chris Hamilton, Andreas Leknessund, Martijn Tusvveld, Kevin Vermaerke.

Main man Romain Bardet – French former podium finisher back to his best and looking for a stage.

EF Education-EasyPost

Multiple stage win hopes for America’s finest, beginning on Friday with time trialist Stephen Bissegger. Rigoberto Urán’s past Grand Tour record makes him the nominal leader but Powless is the man in form. Cort nailed three stages in the Vuelta last year while past Giro stage winners Guerriero and Bettiol could also get their chance.

Team Alberto Bettiol, Stephen Bissegger, Magnus Cort, Owain Doull, Ruben Guerriero, Neilson Powless, Jonas Rutsch, Rigoberto Urán.

Main man Rigoberto Urán – it’s five years since the Colombian finished second in the Tour; a stage win will suffice.

Groupama-FDJ

Uber French team run by mercurial Marc Madiot have sidelined sprinter Arnaud Démare and pinned their hopes on young climber David Gaudu backed by the fragile but talented Thibaut Pinot. Half of France will reckon this is a cunning plan to take the pressure off Pinot, finally back at the Tour after a nightmare in 2020.

Team Antoine Duchesne, David Gaudu, Kevin Geniets, Olivier le Gac, Stefan Küng, Valentin Madouas, Thibaut Pinot, Michael Storer.

Main man David Gaudu – supported Pinot in 2019 and finally gets his chance.

Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert

Belgian squad that has progressed from plucky underdogs to mid-table contenders in four Tours. Quadruple sprint stage winner Kristoff will relish stage two if the wind howls out of the north, while Meintjes has the climbing ability to finish in the top 10 and Van der Hoorn can win out of a break.

Team Sven-Erik Bystrøm, Kobe Goossens, Alexander Kristoff, Louis Meintjes, Andrea Pasqualon, Adrien Petit, Taco van der Hoorn, Georg Zimmerman.

Main man Alexander Kristoff – veteran Norwegian sprinter at his best on tough windy days.

Ineos Grenadiers

Big budget, big ambitions, but it’s hard to see them winning the Tour this year. Their three leaders, Geraint Thomas, Dani Martínez and Adam Yates, are all strong and talented but none of them is a match for Pogacar head to head. They need to catch the Slovenian napping, using their biggest asset – the incredible talent supporting the lead trio. Riders like Filippo Ganna, Tom Pidcock and Dylan Van Baarle can turn the race on its head if brought into play at the right moment.

Team Jonathan Castroviejo, Filippo Ganna, Dani Martínez, Tom Pidcock, Luke Rowe, Geraint Thomas, Dylan van Baarle, Adam Yates.

Main man Geraint Thomas – the last chance for the Welshman but age is not on his side.

Israel-Premier Tech

A stage-hunting lineup for the hilly days, headed by Danish Classic winner Jakob Fuglsang and Canadian mountain man Michael Woods; the others will be tasked with showing their faces in the breaks when they can, while four-times winner Chris Froome’s potential as he rebuilds after his serious crash in 2019 is impossible to read.

Team Simon Clarke, Chris Froome, Jakob Fuglsang, Guillaume Boivin, Hugo Houle, Guy Niv, Krists Neilands, Michael Woods.

Main man Michael Woods – winner of the Route d’Occitanie in mid-June which bodes well for both GC and stages.

Jumbo-Visma

The strongest team in the Tour. They have a host of potential stage winners, the strongest all rounder in the world in Wout van Aert – winner of three stages last year – and two overall contenders in Primoz Roglic and Jonas Vingegaard, who came second in 2021 after Roglic crashed out of the race. Can the Jumbo juggernaut flatten Pogacar? Perhaps, but only if all the key men stay in one piece and everyone plays the team game to perfection.

Team Tiesj Benoot, Steven Kruijswijk, Sepp Kuss, Christophe Laporte, Primoz Roglic, Jonas Vingegaard, Wout van Aert, Nathan van Hooydonck.

Main man Primoz Roglic – Time is running out for Slovenia’s No 2 to finally win the Tour.

Lotto Soudal

The Belgian squad is heavily involved in the relegation battle, they need sprinter Caleb Ewan to add at least a sixth Tour stage to his tally, preferably more. If he flops, Philippe Gilbert remains talented in spite of his advanced age, while Andreas Kron can finish in the top 15. Realistically though, it’s Ewan or the void.

Team Caleb Ewan, Frederik Frison, Philippe Gilbert, Reinardt Janse van Rensburg, Andreas Kron, Brent van Moer, Florian Vermeersch, Tim Wellens.

Main man Caleb Ewan – accident-prone Australian who can deliver multiple stages if he stays upright.

Past flirtations with multiple leaders have never worked so Spain’s finest are focussed on one man, Enric Mas, who looks to improve on his fifth and sixth places in 2020 and 2021. It’s hard to see him getting near Pogacar, but if he survives the first five days he will fancy his chances for the podium.

Team Imanol Erviti, Gorka Izagirre, Matteo Jorgenson, Enric Mas, Gregor Mühlberger, Nelson Oliveira, Albert Torres, Carlos Verona.

Main man Enric Mas. Young Spaniard with a good deal to do to match Movistar’s stars of the past.

Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl

Eyebrows were raised when Mark Cavendish was refused the chance to break Eddy Merckx’s Tour stage win record, in favour of young Dutch sprinter Fabio Jakobsen, the team’s man for the long(er) term. World champion Julian Alaphilippe didn’t make the cut as he is short of fitness following a serious crash, while French champion Florian Sénéchal was called in late for “Tractor” Tim Declercq. Apart from Jakobsen, Italian Mattia Cattaneo will want to build on his 12 th place overall of last year.

Team Kasper Asgreen, Andrea Bagioli, Mattia Cattaneo, Yves Lampaert, Mikkel Honoré, Fabio Jakobsen, Michael Mørkøv, Florian Sénéchal.

Main man Fabio Jakobsen. Dutch sprinter back after a life-threatening crash who is making his Tour debut.

TotalEnergies

The marquee signing Peter Sagan started winning again this June which will have put team manager Jean-René Bernaudeau’s mind at rest. The multiple world champion and Tour points winner will have strong backing from the likes of Daniel Oss, Maciej Bodnar and Anthony Turgis, and if Sagan crosses the line first even once at the Tour, JRB’s decision to splash the cash will be justified.

Team Edvald Boasson Hagen, Maciej Bodnar, Mathieu Burgaudeau, Pierre Latour, Daniel Oss, Peter Sagan, Anthony Turgis, Alexis Vuillermoz.

Main man Peter Sagan – ageing Slovak superstar who may be coming to form at just the right time.

Trek-Segafredo

A multinational multitalented squad, headed by strong Dutchman Bauke Mollema, who climbs like a nodding dog but is a reliable stage winner. Mads Pedersen will figure in the sprints, Jasper Stuyven, Toms Skuijns and Giulio Ciccone are strong riders for a break, while the young American Quinn Simmons is capable of pretty much anything on any terrain.

Team Giulio Ciccone, Tony Gallopin, Alex Kirsch, Bauke Mollema, Mads Pedersen, Quinn Simmons, Toms Skuijns, Jasper Stuyven.

Main man Bauke Mollema – a seasoned, cunning stage hunter who will have chances aplenty in the hills.

UAE Team Emirates

There has been serious investment since Pogacar won his first Tour in 2020 and UAE can now field a team that’s stronger than Ineos, and only behind Jumbo-Visma because they are focused on one individual while the Dutch have three leaders. George Bennett, Rafal Majka, Marc Soler and Brandon McNulty will be a force in the mountains while Marc Bjerg, Marc Hirschi and Vegard Stake Laengen can shepherd the young prodigy on the flat. If they all stay healthy, “Pog” has every chance of sweeping to his third Tour win.

Team George Bennett, Mikkel Bjerg, Marc Hirschi, Vegard Stake Laengen, Rafal Majka, Brandon McNulty, Tadej Pogacar, Marc Soler.

Main man Tadej Pogacar. Flying Slovenian who is hot favourite for a Tour hat-trick at just 23.

The relegation issue

With only the best 18 teams in the UCI’s rankings set to receive a coveted WorldTour licence in 2023 – guaranteeing them entry to major races including the Tour – a raft of squads will start this year’s Tour knowing that a good race will save their bacon and a poor Tour could mean disaster. As of 21 June, there were six teams involved in cycling’s first relegation battle: Israel-Premier Tech, Lotto Soudal, BikeExchange, EF Education, Movistar and Cofidis; Lotto Soudal and Israel-Premier Tech were in the “relegation zone” in 19th and 20th place.

With, for example, 125 points available for 12th overall in the Tour, that could mean in the final week of the race teams may start to become more interested in consolidating their position in the UCI’s team rankings, to guarantee they take home a certain number of points, than in taking risks which might compromise their future. That in turn could make for more conservative racing. What’s certain is that it will be weighing on many minds and putting pressure on riders and management alike.

EF Education complete Tour de France startlist with stage-hunting squad

EF Education-EasyPost were, as traditionally, the last team to announce their Tour de France lineup, having revealed eight riders that will be fighting for stage wins across the three weeks on multiple terrains.

Starting with Stefan Bissegger who will be one of the main contenders for the opening time-trial and yellow jersey. The Swiss will also be a threat in the rolling stages if in breakaways, alongside Jonas Rutsch and Owain Doull who can also take up the task of protecting Rigoberto Urán in the flat stages in case the Colombian heads for a general classification assault.

FINAL | Tour de France 2022 Team Index - Follow lineup announcement of every team

Urán has not had an easy season, with little results to hint at a danger for the GC. Most likely he will be going for stage wins in the mountains, alongside Ruben Guerreiro the recent winner of the Mont Ventoux Dénivelé Challenge.

The team is then completed by three riders who are brilliant options for the hilly days. One in Neilson Powless who just came off an impressive Tour de Suisse where he finished fourth in the overall classification; other is Alberto Bettiol who finally showed his form in Suisse and will be eyeing breakaways and the cobbled stage; and finally there is Magnus Cort Nielsen who is not only a threat for breakaways on such stages, also the hard sprint days will see him as a valid option for a stage win.

Preview: Tour de France. World's best climbers and sprinters go head to head in a seasonal climax

EF Education-EasyPost for Tour de France: Alberto Bettiol, Ruben Guerreiro, Stefan Bissegger, Neilson Powless, Magnus Cort Nielsen, Jonas Rutsch, Owain Doull and Rigoberto Urán.

EF Education-TIBCO-SVB bring a new jersey design to 2022 Tour de France Femmes

Mathew Mitchell

• Published on July 20, 2022
• in Women's Cycling

The EF Education team are well known for their signature jersey designs that make them stick out from the rest of the peloton. Their usual pink is strong enough that it’s tough to mix up with any other team, even if SD Worx also ride in a predominantly pink jersey.

Rapha and EF Education have combined at both the Giro d’Italia/Giro Donne to produce the below design. A flecked paint spray design that I’ve affectionately referred to as the bus seat during the races it has been seen in!

The Rapha x Palace collection is on sale now but stocks are naturally limited already.

EF Education-TIBCO-SVB 2022 Tour de France Femmes jersey

For the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes, the team has gone in a different direction. Rapha has combined with Palace to create a design that some will love and some will hate, it will certainly leave an impression.

Every bit of equipment the team uses has been part of this collaboration. The Cannondale bikes have been repainted, the team’s POC helmets feature the designs, WHOOP and Wahoo have also customised their products for the team. And most surprisingly, the team has made some Crocs available in the new distinctive colours.

“I’m just thrilled with the kit that Rapha and Palace Skateboards have designed to celebrate the return of the women’s Tour de France. Women’s cycling has been growing steadily over the past couple of decades, but the return of the Tour de France will accelerate this growth and further our search for equality. It’s a true honour to have the EF Education-EasyPost men’s team racing their Tour de France in a jersey that celebrates women’s cycling. It’s been a very long road to get to this point, and all of us, the riders, staff and management, realise the significance of this jersey and will be proud to wear it.” Linda Jackson, founder & owner of EF Education-TIBCO-SVB

'I want to win the Tour de France' - Richard Carapaz to leave Ineos Grenadiers and join EF Education for 2023

Published 19/08/2022 at 13:37 GMT

Richard Carapaz will join EF Education next year after signing a new deal with the team, meaning he will leave Ineos Grenadiers. Carapaz is riding at this year’s La Vuelta which will be one of his final races with Ineos before the end of the season. “When you conquer one thing, you want more,” said Carapaz about his move. “I’m one of those people who wants more.”

The Tour de France menu: what the riders eat

The Tour de France and fellow Grand Tours, the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España, are uniquely demanding on the athletes, three weeks of intense racing requires specific nutrition to both fuel the riders, and help them to rest and recover.

Our EF Education-EasyPost team nutritionist, Will Girling, shared the team's menu for their first week of the 2022 Tour de France, an insight into the kind of foods that our riders use to power their extreme efforts, day after day.

Starting the day right, nutrition-wise, is extremely important for any bike race, especially one that lasts three weeks.

Riders take breakfast several hours before the stage starts, allowing plenty of time to digest their meal.

Cereals, oats, pancakes, rice, bread, and berries are on offer as well as eggs, avocados and high-protein yogurt. The focus for the riders, and the nutrition team, is on full plates, plenty of protein and loads of lower-fiber, easy-to-digest carbohydrates to maintain energy through the day without making them feel heavy or bloated. The riders can load their plates with foods they know will suit them well for the stage ahead, eating enough to make them comfortably full.

Sample plate:

- Sourdough pancakes: Our team chef often makes pancakes using a sourdough starter he keeps throughout the Tour in his catering truck. Topped with bananas and maple syrup.

- Omlets: Most of the riders take an omlet for breakfast, its a great source of protein and easy to digest. The riders have preferences on white to yolk ratio, fillings and how they are cooked. For example Rigoberto Uran takes 3 full eggs, salt, cooked ham and cheese, cooked medium rare. Alberto Bettiol takes 2 eggs, cooked medium, no pepper, sometimes a little ham & cheese.

- Steamed rice: Many riders opt for this as a carbohydrate source over toast, oats or cereals because it’s easy to digest and low in fiber. Some add a couple of fried eggs and avocado for a little fat and protein.

- Fresh juice: To keep fiber low, riders bypass smoothies and stick to freshly-pressed juices, blended by the team chef with the fresh fruits, vegetables and herbs. Carrot + ginger, or a green juice made with spinach, kale, kiwi, apple and cucumber are rider favorites for being packed with critical nutrients and minerals without the bulk of whole or raw vegetables.

-Coffee : Are you even a cyclist if you don't like coffee? Almost all of the team riders start their day with an espresso, it's not just a quick pick-me-up, caffeine has been shown to help with endurance efforts too.

As soon as the riders finish the race, recovery fuelling begins. Meals are prepared and waiting for them in the team bus as riders have about an hour to start replacing the glycogen stores necessary to start the next stage strong. These meals are full of easy-to-digest, low-salt, carbohydrate-rich foods.

- 
Fresh pasta with simple proteins : Pasta tossed with a simple sauce and protein - usually fresh chicken, is the ideal type of meal to replenish riders. The balance of carbohydrates and proteins are just what the body requires – no complicated flavor combinations, or processed proteins here, just simple good food to start the recovery process.

- Protein and carb-focused snacks: Various bars, yoghurts and shakes are available on the team bus for quick and effective refuelling.

Perhaps the most important meal of the day during the race, all the riders sit down together at the team hotel each night, as early as possible. The aim is to replenish their stores with plenty of time for digestion before getting a good sleep.

The dinner menu offers simple, fresh foods that are low in fiber, not too heavy but full of the carbohydrates, proteins and other nutrients needed to fuel the riders for the next day.

Unprocessed proteins are a must to boost recovery, along with soups, cooked vegetables and simple carbs. Cooked, easy to eat vegetables are included to provide micronutrients, while ensuring that riders have plenty of time to properly digest and eliminate the fiber before their systems are under the duress of the next stage.

Fresh pastas, noodles and rice with a light but flavor filled main course of steamed fish and roasted or grilled chicken for protein. If the riders have tackled a day in the mountains or if the day has been particularly grueling, a dessert is a sweet morale-boosting treat.

- Simply-prepared proteins : Grilled or roasted chicken or steamed fish with light fresh sauces. Processed meats are avoided for their high sodium content. Red meat is offered on rest days to help with recovery.

- Easy to digest carbohydrates : Options like rice, mashed potatoes or pasta are always available on the buffet table.

- Soup : There's always a fresh soup option on offer, these help with calming the digestive system, especially if a rider is struggling to eat. Soups are great for being low fiber while maintaining high vitamin and mineral intake.

- Steamed, grilled or roasted vegetables or a small salad : Larger salads can be very challenging to digest due to their high fiber content. Instead, riders load up on cooked vegetables or tender greens, easier to digest and assimilate but still packed full of nutrients. Beet salads are popular with the riders and nutrition team for their ability to reduce inflammation and boost recovery.

- For dessert : Nothing too heavy or full of overly processed sugars, fruit based desserts tend to be preferred. It's also a chance to get a little more protein in, with yogurt or crème fraîche on the side.

Weird, wonderful and woeful: Rating each 2022 Tour de France limited-edition kit

Seven teams have released new kits for the French Grand Tour, so we just had to give them all a very measured rating

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

The Tour de France 2022 starts tomorrow (Friday), and seven teams have released new, special kits to be worn at the event.

Two will actually stay in the peloton for the remainder of the 2022 season, due to name changes and sponsor announcements, while the majority of the other kits all have specific reasons for a Tour-edition kit. 

Among the teams are EF Education-EasyPost, Lotto Soudal, Trek-Segafredo, Bora-Hansgrohe, Israel-Premier Tech, Jumbo-Visma and Alpecin-Deceuninck, and the kits  range from masterpieces to horror shows.

We've invoked our inner fashionista to critique them all. 

EF Education-EasyPost - 4/5

Vive le Tour, and at long last, Vive les Femmes.Our special Tour de France kit, bike, and other partner elements exists to celebrate the women’s Tour de France and elevate the voices, triumphs and struggles in women’s cycling. 📸: @rapha pic.twitter.com/g8gWXCH85v June 28, 2022

I can already hear the shouts of disdain with this rating of the EF Education-EasyPost kit, but, quite frankly, this is a really interesting design. 

OK, it might not be perfect, but then again, what is? It might just be me, but I'm really looking forward to seeing those dragons/dinosaurs/monsters roaming around the peloton over the next three weeks.

Skateboard brand Palace's has really stamped its authority on the team's kit for the Tour.

The American squad have gone the full hog changing everything on their kit - down to the frames of their bike and the socks - to match the design. 

The custom Crocs and full casual wardrobe of bright pink combat jackets and neoon hoodies all gain my seal of approval. 

The kit is also celebrating the return of the Tour de France Femmes on July 24 - ensuring so there is meaning behind the alternative kit for this year's French Grand Tour.

Lotto Soudal - 3/5

Let's take a closer look at our brand new kit, which the team will sport during the #TDF2022 and the rest of the season 🔥 pic.twitter.com/uskFFqhHPY June 29, 2022

Granted, Lotto-Soudal will continue to wear this kit for the rest of this season, so therefore doesn't necessarily make this kit change a special Tour jersey per se. However, it's a kit change nonetheless, and therefore requires a rating. 

The change in design is largely to incorporate new sponsor Dstny (a business communications company), which has primarily been achieved through the introduction of a light blue element on the sleeve and all of the helmet. Other than that, and the red and white design largely remains in tact.

It's a clean and successful colour scheme that has stood the test of time and there's no reason the blue splash should change that.

Israel-Premier Tech - 4/5

👀 A closer look at our #TDF2022 'Racing for Change' kit designed by @stycle_design 🔥Donate to help build the #FieldofDreams and you can get your hands on one 👉 https://t.co/CNlVwcsQuh pic.twitter.com/X1apLixRmC June 27, 2022

This special design from Israel-Premier Tech is a marked improvement on their regular kit. 

Very easy on the eye, there is a lovely shade of blue used to make this a lot better looking. The addition of subtle colours on the lower half of the jersey also really elevates the overall look. 

The differing sleeve colours are also a really nice touch, but the most compelling aspect of the whole kit has to be the right sleeve. Niche, I know, but the splash of pinks, yellows and blues works really well together. 

Jumbo-Visma - 0/5

🎨 https://t.co/KxwBf5h8Ph pic.twitter.com/SngdjkB3Hx April 15, 2022

Seriously, what is that? Jumbo-Visma have the nerve to call it 'The Masterpiece'.

I can think of a few other choice words.

Apparently, "a palette of colours, patterns, and combinations was extracted from iconic paintings" to help make this jersey. But, honestly,  is there actually anything iconic discernible from this design? 

It looks more like a bunch of colour chucked onto a shirt by a two-year-old. 

At first glance I thought this kit was some sort of desolate woodland - so to hear the team cite paintings from Rembrandt and Van Gogh as inspiring this kit came as quite a surprise. 

Quite simply, I'm praying for either Primož Roglič or Jonas Vingegaard to spend as much time in the yellow jersey as possible. Hopefully, Wout Van Aert can also don the green jersey for the entirety of the Tour, just to save my eyes from this.

Alpecin-Deceuninck - 1/5

We can't wait to race in these brand new #Kalas kit! Just two more sleeps... #TDF2022 #AlpecinDeceuninck 💙 pic.twitter.com/0r9Vb6N336 June 29, 2022

A change in title sponsor ahead of the Tour means a change in kit design, too. Just like with Lotto-Soudal, this jersey change will stay for the rest of the season. However, unlike Lotto-Soudal, Alpecin-Deceuninck have actually tried to change the design of the new kit. 

But, in my opinion, it's not a great shade of blue incorporated into the design. 

While the old navy kit lacked creativity, it still looked smart and clean. Something your nan might approve of.

This, on the other hand, utilises a fade from a royal blue back into the navy. While it's an attempt to switch things up, there just doesn't feel like there's anything that interesting about the new kit, and it certainly doesn't make you sit up and take notice. 

Trek-Segafredo - 2/5

One kit. One team. Two races. ❤️💙Introducing our new kit from @SANTINI_SMS for @LeTour and @LeTourFemmes 🤝 pic.twitter.com/xBB3OxauHZ June 29, 2022

Much like Trek's previous effort this is a pretty standard, ordinary, run-of-the-mill kit design. There is nothing that thrilling about the change in colour, white to navy isn't exactly an outlandish decision, and I'm not expecting it to stand out within the peloton.

Combining the red colour of the men's team and the azure blue of the women's team for the mixing palette on the chest band is a nice touch, and represents a worthwhile message. However, the change of design isn't that inspired, and when taking the jersey on face value, it's relatively boring. 

Bora-Hansgrohe - 5/5

💥 Check out our refreshed kit design for the Tour. We can't wait to race the @letourdefrance 🇫🇷 in these colours.#TDF2022#BandOfBrothers pic.twitter.com/ZFOUBNcVOA June 23, 2022

You know how I said earlier that nothing is perfect? Well, I wholeheartedly retract that statement - this Bora-Hansgrohe kit specially made for the 2022 Tour de France is a thing of beauty. 

Saving the best for last, the white and green works perfectly together, and the little blocks of red are a finish touch Rembrandt would be proud of (are you taking notes Jumbo-Visma?) It is faultless, and the differing colours of the sleeves really ensure the quality is maintained throughout. 

In our review of all of the WorldTour team kits for the 2022 season, Bora-Hansgrohe also received a 5/5 review. But they've topped that (if the ratings went higher than 5) with a much better colour palette.

Tour de France 2022’s Team Bikes and Riders

This is the most detailed page about the Tour de France 2022’s Team Bikes and Riders. The biggest show on earth starts on July 1st in Denmark and ends on July 24th in Paris. As there is plenty of information on the Tour de France 2022 on the web, I am not writing about the course which is on the official website linked here: https://www.letour.fr/en/overall-route

Instead, as always I am focussing my writing on the nerdy details of each team’s bikes and riders. For some riders, you may click on his name and see the bike size and geometry details.
