Tour de France Femmes 2022: How to watch Stage 2 on Monday, TV and live stream details, timings and route map

Stage 2: Meaux to Provins, 136.4km

Brie, Champagne – hang on, the picnic will have to wait. The teams will be charging across the flat on the second stage towards the Champagne region, but it might not be a straight forward sprint to the finish.

An early lump in the form of the Cote de Tigeaux needs to be negotiated and is the perfect place for a breakaway to get free, but the sprinters will have plenty of time to regroup on the second longest stage of the race provided there are no cross winds.

Provins, where the stage finishes, has never hosted the Tour de France but has seen a stage of the Tour de l’Avenir go by. The Medieval town is on the UNESCO world heritage list although hosting the peloton may prove to be a higher honour.

HOW CAN I WATCH THE TOUR DE FRANCE FEMMES 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.

Former Dutch rider Iris Slappendel will be taking to the back of a motorbike, while Laura Meseguer and Manon Lloyd will be on site speaking to the people that matter.

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.
