The Top 10 Climbing Performances of 2022
As the 2022 cycling season has come to a close, it is time to rank the top 10 climbing performances of the year. An admittedly hard task, considering the multitude of impressive performances from various riders throughout the year.

Stalemate Between Vingegaard and Pogačar in the Heat
Tadej Pogačar again tried to find weakness in Jonas Vingegaard in the first Pyrenean stage, with the Dane responding fairly easily to his accelerations in Tour de France Stage 16.

Vingegaard this year has improved his consistency and climbing ability and might be even stronger than Roglič, who seemed to struggle in his wheel on stage 8 and did not pull as much as the young Dane.

Pogačar Closes Multiple Attacks And Still Wins | Tirreno-Adriatico Stage 4
The Slovenian single-handedly closed down multiple attacks on the last climb when his domestiques could not do it, and sprinted to his 5th World Tour-level victory in 2022, taking the blue leader's jersey as a bonus.
