Rigoberto Urán has made a somewhat cautious start to the season, seeking to have the best sensations on the bike and trying to force himself to be with the best riders in the competitions. Although there have not been many, because so far this year the Tyrrhenian Adriatic in Italy and the Tour of the Basque Country in Spain have hardly run.
In the first round he finished in 14th place while in Itzulia he was seen with better pedaling, arriving several times with the best of the Basque competition to finish 10th in the overall standings. This shows little by little that the process of getting in tune with other important goals in the first part of the year is progressing well.
Uran does not usually have a first few months full of competitions, usually thinking that everything is built towards the Tour de France and for this 2022 it seems that it will be no exception. The 35-year-old paisa intends to make his 9th French round with the usual goal: to win the final general.
With the EF Education EasyPost, Rigo will complete 7 seasons this 2022 with which they have managed to climb to the podium of the Tour in 2017 where in addition to finishing 2nd he won stage 9 in Chambéry, managing to beat great cyclists such as Chris Froome, Bardet or the retired Fabio Aru.
Now at a time when the youngest riders in the pack tend to shine, such as Pogacar, Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel, Rigoberto hopes to be one of the experienced riders the most outstanding.
For that he will then follow his calendar for April in the Belgian classics Walloon Arrow on the 20th, the Liege Bastogne Liege on the 24th and as the closing of the same month he would be in the Tour de Romandie on the 26th. While tentatively in May it would be concluding its cycle of competencies.
Then he will do a preparation block in Colombia to reach the Tour de France with a few hours of height in his body, and then make the Occitanie Route and be ready for the 109th edition of the Tour de France.
For 2022, Tadej Pogacar of UAE Team Emirates is expected to return to defend his two-time championship against tough rivals, including Colombian cyclists Nairo Quintana, Daniel Felipe Martínez, among others such as Urán, who in the three-week rounds is usually one of the strongest in the overall standings. The most important race in the world, will start on July 1 and will run until the 24th.
For now, the Antioquian expects to have such good previous days as last year where he placed 2nd in the overall standings of the Tour de Switzerland, after winning the penultimate stage, which was a time trial against the road world champion, Julian Alaphilippe. This year he could aspire to the same thing to fill himself with motivation before taking on the second round of three weeks of the year. It is also expected that he may be in the Vuelta España, but it has yet to be confirmed, for now he focuses on the French one.
