Where the Tour de France is, and where it's going

 












Two articles about the Tour de France 2022, which just concluded.  One is about the race, and who won it.  

Article 1: Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard wins Tour de France to cap sizzling rise

"Vingegaard’s winning time was 79 hours 33 minutes 20 seconds. Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar took second place, 2 minutes 43 seconds back, and Geraint Thomas of Britain was third, 7:22 back."

The other is about the race against time, as warmer summers make the (primarily) French backroads and ways vulnerable to degradation, and literally melting, threatening the way the Tour rides.
