The 2022 Tour de la Provence takes place from February 10 to 13, with a program of 505 km spread over three stages and a prologue time trial. After a flat first stage (but with risks of echelons), the riders will gradually enter the difficulties with a very hilly stage on Saturday between Arles and Manosque, then with a high-altitude finish at Montagne de Lure (1570 m) on Sunday. Julian Alaphilippe (Quick Step – Alpha Vinyl) will make his season debut at the Provençal event, and will have his work cut out for him against Nairo Quintana (Arkéa – Samsic), Richard Carapaz (Ineos Grenadiers) and Ivan Sosa (Movistar).
