Panini Tour de France 2022

Tour de France 2022 is the fourth consecutive Panini album dedicated to the most famous cycling competition. The album includes 22 cycling teams and also some of the best women taking part into the Women's Tour de France. In addition, there is an update set with the stickers of the stage and jersey winners. For the second year, Panini released also a collector box including the hardcover album and 30 packets.

The album begins with some introductory pages in which there are six stickers: the mascot, three sponsored stickers (Continental), and two stickers dedicated to the fabulous story of Lucien Mazan, the "Petit-Breton". Then the 2022 stages are presented, with stickers of the host cities. There is also space for the stickers of the stage winners that can be found in the update set.

The 22 competing teams are then shown in alphabetical order. For each team there are 14 stickers: the team logo, the jersey, the official bike, the team in action, and 10 riders. The last part of the album is dedicated to the women's Tour de France. Here we find one introductory sticker and eight stickers of the best riders. In addition, there is a sticker of the 2022 winner Annemieke van Vleuten to be found in the update set. The album ends with a drawing about Tour de France and two cartoon stickers.
