The 2022 Grand Prix Cycliste de Marseille La Marseillaise was the 43rd edition of the Grand Prix La Marseillaise one-day road cycling race. It was held on 30 January 2022 as a category 1.1 race on the 2022 UCI Europe Tour, and as the first event of the 2022 French Road Cycling Cup.[1]

The 174.3-kilometre (108.3 mi) race took place in and around Marseille in southeastern France, starting from the village of  [fr] in the northeastern part of the city and finishing in downtown Marseille next to the Stade Vélodrome. The race course was undulating, with nine marked climbs along the route totalling approximately 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) of elevation. Three of these climbs, the  [fr], the  [fr], and the Route des Crêtes, offered points for the mountains classification for the first three riders to crest their respective summits. The last climb, the  [fr], crested with 9.5 kilometres (5.9 mi) left before a downhill run-in to the finish line.[2][3]

In the finishing sprint, Amaury Capiot took his first professional victory, sprinting out of the slipstream of Mads Pedersen, who held on for second. Edvald Boasson Hagen, who had been one of the first to start his sprint, was passed by Kiko Galván for third, but managed to hold off fast-finishing Benoît Cosnefroy, winner of the 2020 edition, for fourth.[4][5]

Teams[]

Nine of the 18 UCI WorldTeams, eight UCI ProTeams, and four UCI Continental teams made up the 21 teams that participated in the race. All but three of these teams entered a full squad of seven riders. Cofidis and Intermarché–Wanty–Gobert Matériaux each entered six riders, while Lotto–Soudal entered five.[6][7] Lotto–Soudal had originally entered six riders as well, but Sylvain Moniquet was forced to withdraw due to a positive COVID-19 test result days before the race.[8] Trek–Segafredo was reduced to six riders with one non-starter, while UAE Team Emirates was reduced to five riders with two non-starters. In total, 140 riders started the race, of which 130 finished.[9]
