Tour de France 2022 – How to watch Stage 18 on Thursday, TV and live stream details, timings and route map

Tadej Pogacar may have failed to make significant ground on Jonas Vingegaard on Wednesday, but he has another chance to make a big impact on Stage 18.

“There has only been one Danish winner up there so Vingegaard might be able to become the second,” Adam Blythe said. “It is going to be a hard day.

“It is not the longest, but it is that distance where it is a little bit shorter and riders will think they should be a bit more aggressive.”

Dan Lloyd added: “He [Pogacar] will throw everything that he has left in the tank at it because even on his best day, on the time trial he is not going to be able to take that time back.

“So he has to take a chunk of it back tomorrow [Stage 18] to have any hope. He would be doing well to take a minute out of Vingegaard on the final time trial. A minute even then would be pushing it.

“He has to take more than a minute off tomorrow if he is going to have a chance of winning a third straight Tour.”

How can I watch the Tour de France on TV and livestream?

Each and every stage will be broadcast from the start line to the finish on Eurosport and GCN+, bookended by The Breakaway, presented by Orla Chennaoui and featuring regular contributions from pundits Robbie McEwen, Adam Blythe and Dan Lloyd.

For the first time, cycling will be introduced to our Cube studio for coverage of the Tour de France and the Tour de France Femmes. A raft of new innovations awaits, including augmented reality analysis tools and unique virtual backdrops that will enhance the viewing experience even further.

An inclinometer feature will be introduced, a 3D representation bringing to life the gradients faced by the peloton. New technologies within the Cube environment will also showcase some of the finer, tactical nuances of the sport such as echelons and time trial setup.
