Tour de France 2026
Le Tour · July 4 – 26, 2026 · France
The world's greatest cycling race returns for its 113th edition. 21 stages, roughly 3,500 kilometres, and three weeks of racing through the most spectacular landscapes in France — ending on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.
What Makes Le Tour
Brutal Alpine and Pyrenean climbs where general classification battles are won and lost. Expect attacks on cols like Alpe d'Huez and Col du Galibier.
The race of truth — riders against the clock. Individual TTs reveal the true GC hierarchy and often decide the yellow jersey by seconds.
Flat routes that end in mass sprint finishes. Teams like UAE and Jumbo-Visma protect their sprinters through the peloton chaos.
The punishing pavé sections in northern France. A bad crash or mechanical on the cobbles can end a GC contender's race in minutes.
Riders to Watch
Defending favourite — 3× champion hunting back-to-back titles.
2× champion and Pogačar's fiercest rival. Won't give up the polka-dot without a war.
World champion and Olympic TT gold medallist stepping up his Tour ambitions.
Young Spanish climber with the legs and the team to challenge on any summit finish.
