The early season events were held in Southern Europe and the Middle East. Although many games were not held or interrupted under the influence of the epidemic, the 2022 season games are still going smoothly. In most cases, I hope that many games this season can be held as scheduled. Today, the editor will take you to sort out the competition situation that must be viewed in 2022.
Belgium Classic (Omloop Het Nieuwsblad)
Match time: February 26, 2022
This season did not really start until the first match of the year in Belgium, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Men and women, "Omloop" is affectionately known as the Spring Classic, which offers everything we love about the Spring Classic: rain, wind, pebbles, and many short, steep peaks scattered throughout the Flemish countryside.
In men’s side, Belgian drivers and teams are often in the lead: Italy’s Davide Ballernini won last year’s Belgian super team Deceuninck–Quick-Step. Belgian Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) is another favorite driver, although this is only his first race of the season.
women's event should be led by Annemiek Van Vleuten (Movistar) of the Netherlands, who last won the game in 2020. She may face fierce competition from fellow countrymen Ellen Van Dijk (Trek-Segafredo) and Chantal van den Broek-Blaak (SD Worx).
Strade Bianche
Match time: March 5, 2022
Strade Bianche took place on the white gravel road in Tuscany, which is undoubtedly one of the most difficult and beautiful matches of the year. It was a battle between strong riders, with Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) of the Netherlands winning last year’s men’s championship with an offense, Julian Alaphilippe (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) of France being the defending world champion, and Egan Bernal (INEOS Grenadiers) of Colombia, the 2019 Tour de France. The Dutchman, however, is still recovering from a crash in last year’s Olympic mountain bike race, but may not be at the starting line this year, and Alaphilip, who won the World Championships in a row last October and competed in the race in 2019, will be in the race.
The Dutch should lead again in women’s terms: Van Denbrook-Brack won last year and Van Fleten won in 2019 and 2020. But look out for Italy's Eliza Longo Borgini (Trek-Segafredo), who in 2017, and four-time Polish Polish player Katarzyna Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM).
Milan-Sanremo
Competition time: March 19, 2022
nearly 300 kilometers route, making Milan-Sanremo the longest day race on the calendar. Since the results are almost always decided in the last 10Km, the riders say it is the easiest race to complete, but also the hardest race to win.
likes the slow pace of Milan-San Remo, as riders head south from Milan to the coast and then wind down the sea, a brief and powerful rise just a few kilometers from the finish line, whose dangerous descent usually creates more gaps than the climb itself.
This race is perfect for riders who can climb, descend and win small group sprints – riders like van Aert and Alaphilippe, 2020 and 2019 champions, respectively. Last year's match was completed by Belgium's Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo), who made a raid at the final finish line and maintained his biggest win of his career.
Ring Flanders
Racing time: April 3, 2022
Many drivers believe that Ring Flanders is the most difficult day race on the calendar. The men's race features the ruggedest terrain in the Flemish region of Belgium with narrow technical roads, pebbles and short, steep climbs known as "mountain". The race is so challenging that it can take years for riders to master the nuances of the race to really strive to win the race.
last year's race was played by Denmark's Kasper Asgreen (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), a powerful rider who parted ways with defending champion Van der Boer late in the race, and few gave Asgreen much chance.But he scheduled his sprint perfectly, allowing the Dutch to win the game in front of his team's home sponsor. Van der Pole and Asgreen should be the hottest candidates this year again. And Van Alter, who, despite his perfect fit, never won Ronde.
In the women's program, defending champion van Vleuten will be the lead in the contenders list, including her compatriots Van Denbrook Brack (SD-Worx) and Jumbo- Visma, both former winners of the event.
Paris-Rubaix Cycling Race
Race Time: April 16th to 17th, 2022
"Queen of Classics" and "Northern Hell", many alias of Paris-Rubaix make people respect it. It is the most difficult single-day race in the world, and pebbles, soil, dust, and collisions have become synonyms for her. The second half is about 55km the worst cobblestone road ride in northern France, making it full of drama and always produces a well-deserved champion – even if it is a dark horse.
is about to bring the second time ever for women's Paris-Rubai, which will start with Denunn and follow the last 115 kilometers of the men's race on Sunday - all the way to the finish line at the Rubai Racing Circuit. Running in truly hellish conditions last October, Britain's Lizzy Designan (Trek-Segafredo) won last year's first event after a long solo flight. The British will definitely be back to defend her title with Trek-Segafredo, but we will follow Vos, who desperately wants to add this game to her transcript.
In the men's competition, Italy's Sonny Colbrelli (Balim-Melida) surpassed Belgium's Florian Vermeersch (Lotto-Soudal) and van der Poel to win Italy's first pebbles trophy since 1999. The European champion should come back and try and show his performance without a fluke, but all eyes will be focused on Van der Pole and Van Alter.
Torch Italian cycling
Racing time: May 6th ~ 29th, 2022
Although the Tour de France enjoys a high reputation, riders generally believe that the Tour de Italy is more difficult. This year's Tour de Italy will start in Hungary, and 2020 is planned to start here, but this plan has been broken due to the epidemic.
Starting on Friday, the Tour of Italy includes a brief individual time trial sandwiched between two sprint stages, followed by a rest day with Mount Etna in Sicily waiting for everyone.
Due to injuries and the epidemic, we are still waiting for which drivers will appear in the tour of Italy. But we hope there is Dutchman Jumbo-Visma who will be able to show up in this year’s Tour of Italy, who won the game in 2017 but has been battling injuries ever since. After leaving the sport for a while early last season, he is now back and ready to try to start over from where he left.
It could also be the last Tour de Italy for the Italian rider Vincenzo Nibali, who has won the Tour twice, and he will once again represent the Astana team to win both titles, playing in the tour in his hometown. He has never been defeated without a fight, but he also faces great difficulties.
Tour de France
Racing time: June 26 ~ July 18 2022
Speaking of Tour de France, we have to say that this Slovenian rider Pogačar (UAE Chiefs. If the Tour de France 2020 is an announcement, then 2021 is a coronation ceremony. Pogačar dominated the race from beginning to end, winning four stages of championship, total score, climbing king and best young rider. No one can get close to challenging him at the time of 21. He is expected to win his third title in 2022.
race arrived in the Alps in the second week, which included the return of Alped'Huez, his 21 hairpin bay routes that have not competed in the Tour de France since 2018. The third week saw two summits in the Pyrenees and a 40km time trial in the penultimate Tour de France.
This race should boil down to the battle between the Pogačar and Jumbo-Visma teams, whose drivers Primož Roglič and Jonas Vingegaard finished second in Slovenia for two consecutive years. The Netherlands is the deepest in the sport at the moment, but they need to do everything they can to stop Pogacha.
Giro d'Italia Donne
Racing time: July 1~10, 2022
Without the Women's Tour de France, Giro Donne is the longest, most difficult and most prestigious women's bicycle race on the calendar. Last year's race was led by SD Worx, whose drivers Anna van der Breggen, Ashleigh Moolman Pasio and Demi Vollering finished 1-2-3 when they reached the top of the second stage of Prato Nevoso. They were left untouched in the last 8 days of Giro Rosa, winning two more stages along the way and occupying the final podium.
track details have not been released this year (they always arrive at the last minute), and we're curious to know which riders will try to cope with the Giro Rosa and the new Tour de France women. Being able to win two titles can be a daunting task, but there must be some female riders who compete in both, both hoping to debut for the Women's Tour de France in two weeks.
Women's Tour de France
Racing time: July 24~31, 2022
After facing years of pressure, the organizers of the Tour de France officially announced their return to the Women's Tour de France in May last year. The competition consists of eight stages and will start from the final day of the men's tournament, with the entire competition being completed in a week. The women's Tour de France with
back should be exciting, and the entire competition will reward the real all-rounder. The race ended in a weekend in the Vosges, with the final stage ending with the peak of Super Planche des Belles Filles, so we look forward to a spectacular event to offer. Among the expected drivers, Van Flerten can be watched, she has won almost a number of women's races, and she has started the season.
Tour of Spain cycling
Racing time: August 19th to September 11th, 2022
As the last Grand World Tour of this season, the Tour of Spain is usually the last chance for riders to hope to end the year with a high profile, get a contract for next season or keep themselves in good shape. World Championships in late September. With a lot of mountains and a starting roster of powered riders, Vuelta always offers some of the most exciting finishes of the year.
At this stage of the season, it is difficult to predict who will add the Spanish Tour to their plan, because many things may change from now until September. Roglic has won consecutive games over the last three years, but if he ends up winning the Tour de France, he may abdicate, leaving one of his teammates Vingegaard, Dumoulin or perhaps Sepp Kuss lead. We can’t wait to see what kind of chaos Movistar brings to the game, and we can always find a way to present the game in an active and implosional way to do it in the game.
