Criterium Singapore 2022 – Singapore : 65 km
Tour de France Criterium is a spectacular exhibition, showcasing the speed and intensity of the world’s greatest cyclists. Singapore will host a new edition of the Tour de France Criterium and 32 of the top Tour de France riders will race through the streets of Singapore, inspiring a new generation of cyclists.
Jonas Vingegaard won the Tour de France Prudential Singapore Criterium after 65km of circuit racing in downtown Singapore.
The event was more of an exhibition event than race but the big-name riders made numerous attacks despite the heat and humidity. Mark Cavendish fought for the points competition, fighting with other riders in the different intermediate sprints.
Vingegaard, Chris Froome, Vincenzo Nibali, Simon Geschke and Enric Mas got away with two of the 20 laps to race and then Vingegaard got away alone with two attacks in the final kilometre. The Jumbo-Visma rider crossed the lines with his arms in the air, showing off his 2022 Tour de France winner’s jersey.
Froome edged out Nibali to take second place.
“It’s been a great season and great to take a victory in yellow here too. Every time you win in yellow is special,” Vingegaard said.
“I didn’t expect that we’d go away in a break, I thought some guys wanted a sprint. But we got away and there were four good riders out there. It was hard, it was really humid and so a hard day.”
