The fourth and final stage of Route d'Occitanie was held on Sunday. Niccolò Bonifazio won the stage. Michael Woods maintained his lead in the general classification to win Route d’Occitanie 2022 overall.
"I am very happy with this result and also the team spirit makes me happy. We had Cole Kessler riding in the lead all day and then Guy Sagiv and Taj Jones keeping me out of the wind. Carl Frederik Hagen came along at the end to defend my position," Woods described.

- A great route, much more exciting than the Tour de France. Monte Livata is an interesting one, because they experimented with it at the 2026 Baby Giro, and it was fantastic. 4 km at 10%, then 10 km at 6.5% made for a great spectacle. The stage 16 is horrible. Montaner is also used in the U23s, in Giro del BelvedereRafionain-Glas03-11-2026
