3:02 p.m. : Filippo Ganna strikes a blow by closing the clock in 48’41, 1’40 better than the previous reference time.
(FRANCE 3)
2:51 p.m. : @Tourist Our leader would undoubtedly be Thomas Baïetto who climbed the Galibier during his vacation. Many members of the editorial staff go there by bike and some have a nice burst of speed in the sprint. As sports director, Romain “La Science” Scotto, the man who watches all the cycling races 365 days a year… And for our jersey, black with yellow polka dots, of course 😉 We’re going to send a file to ASO!
2:51 p.m. : Hello, could we one day see the FranceInfo team on a stage (the last in Paris) made up of 8 journalists from your ranks? It would be a big publicity stunt for you who are making us experience this Tour from the inside. I don’t think you would have too much difficulty building this team. Have a good day.
2:40 p.m. : Jonas Vingegaard (Thy Cykle Ring)
11 år rangel
DM TT 2008, Hobro
14 år senere skal Vingegaard ud at køre sit books enkeltstart. De grønne Thy-farver er skiftet ud med gult. I dag vinder han Tour de France. #TDF2022
Kom så, Jonas!🔥
@JumboVismaRoad
2:40 p.m. : And meanwhile, the Danish press unearthed this “file” photo of the very young Jonas Vingegaard, probable winner of the Tour de France 2022.
2:36 p.m. : The golden rosary, the hairy chest and the V-neck: Michael “bling” Matthews would have returned everywhere in nightclubs in the years 2006-2007. #TDF2022 
2:38 p.m. : The time trial is also improbable looks of some riders who do not play much on the clock.
2:27 p.m. : @Marcel Julian Alaphilippe in 2019contrary to what one might think, it’s not that old!
2:26 p.m. : Hello FI, who is the last Frenchman who won an individual time trial on Le Tour?
2:23 p.m. : With an average speed of 48.5km/h, 🇩🇰@mikkelbbjerg dominates the standings with a significant margin (2+ minutes ahead of everyone at the moment)#TDFdata #TDF2022
2:23 p.m. : We will have a clearer idea of the reference time when Filippo Ganna is finished, but for the moment, Mikkel Bjerg, holder of the best time, covered the 40 km at 48.5 km/h.
2:07 p.m. : Filippo Ganna, the world champion in the specialty, has just set off on the course of the day. #TDF2022 
2:06 p.m. : One of the great favorites for this time trial, the Italian Filippo Ganna, double world exercise champion, has just started.
1:57 p.m. : For the moment, the riders set off every 90 seconds… which did not prevent Mikkel Bjerg from overtaking his teammate Marc Hirshi, who started in front of him. In his defense, the Swiss has been dragging his spleen and his painful knee for three weeks.
1:18 p.m. : Jonas Vingegaard revealed his strategy for the time trial: “I went to recon the course in April, I remember that the first ten kilometers are very technical. I will not take all the risks in the turns. I will do everything I can, I will give my best as always, that should be enough.”
The departure of the yellow jersey is scheduled for 5 p.m.
1:17 p.m. : Small point route: it is rather rolling with two climbs in the last ten kilometers, the last of which, the climb of Rocamadour, which offers almost 8% average over 1.5 km.
1:11 p.m. : Wait for it… 🇧🇻🔔#TDF2022
1:11 p.m. : The Norwegian supporters gave their all on the costume. Look out for the horned Elvis from the cold on the side of the road!
1:10 p.m. : 🇬🇧 #TDF2022Unfortunately, @NVHooydonck will not start today due to family circumstances. All the best, Nathan! ❤️ 
1:10 p.m. : It is no longer very serious for the yellow jersey, but the Jumbo team records a new abandonment with the departure of Nathan Van Hooydonck “for family reasons”.
1:05 p.m. : It is the bottom of the general classification, the Australian sprinter Caleb Ewan who opens hostilities by starting first in the time trial.
1:02 p.m. : Today will be chosen the Super combative of the Tour de France, chosen by the public on social networks. Among the favourites, Wout van Aert, Thibaut Pinot and Simon Geschke.
12:57 : A surprise French victory with Benjamin Thomas for the Cofidis team or Geraint Thomas for the Ineos team
12:57 : STAGE 20 Saturday July 23 around 1:05 p.m. 🚴 At the time of the first departures for a hellish time, I am tempted to make a last minute prediction by designating, in advance, the future winner of today’s stage today. Not as easy to do concerning this 40 km time trial which risks significantly upsetting the general classification of the day before. I give you, below in anticipation, the author of the best final time: the Belgian Wout VAN AERT (favorite of the clan of the eagles) Have a good trip on the Live Fi and big congratulations to all for your information efforts. END
12:56 : Filipo Ganna ahead of Van Aert and Vingegaard
12:54 p.m. : FilippoGanna will make you disillusioned
12:52 p.m. : @Last chance My trifecta in order 1) Van Aert with a 30-second lead over 2) Pogacar who himself will take up a minute from 3) Vingegaard.
12:50 p.m. : Hello Pierre Godon, On whom is your little coin going for the victory and how do you see the Vingegaard-Pogacar duel (order and gap) in the time trial of the day please? Personally, I’m betting on a victory for Pogacar with a 20 to 30 second lead over Van Aert 2nd and Vingegaard 3rd. Thank you 🙂
12:25 p.m. : Imagine that in one week, you can’t really cover the four corners of France. And the proposed route, certainly concentrated in the east of the country, offers stages promised to sprinters, backpackers, climbers. I suggest that we talk about it again next week, after the finish, to judge the show on offer?
12:23 p.m. : Why do we call it Women’s Tour de France, when they are confined to the East of France?
12:30 p.m. : It’s noon, let’s take stock of the news at midday before sitting down to eat (yes, we eat early at the editorial office).

10:54 : “Each stage or almost corresponds to a different runner’s profile: there are flat stages for sprinters and adventurers, and others for climbers, of course. We want to introduce the general public to these champions who deserve.”
In an interview with our comrades from franceinfo sport the race director, Marion Rousse, presents the race which will start tomorrow. “The women’s Tour de France, if it takes place, is not a gift we give to female cyclists. It’s not because it’s in tune with the times to see women’s sport in TV that you have to do it. It’s a real sporting consistency.”

10:21 a.m. : Note that the Grande Boucle speed record, which dated back to the Armstrong years, will be broken this year. Pierre Latour, from TotalEnergies, shares his feelings at the microphone of franceinfo : “Sometimes it hurts. Over 60 kilometers before the first pass, it doesn’t disconnect, there’s no breakaway and suddenly, you see that it’s going fast, you always tell yourself that the next day it will be better.“

10:28 : We take the opportunity to take a look at today’s stage, which could have taken place in the flat country, but in fact, it’s in the Lot that it’s happening. Our comrades from franceinfo sport slip you a sheet to shine in society this afternoon. We will discuss the predictions later, but I put a small coin on the Belgian Wout van Aert who has blown me away for three weeks.
10:16 a.m. : Note that the activists who had participated in the two previous actions on the Grande Boucle, as well as those who blocked the Paris ring road on several occasions, were not worried about them.
