The 2026 Tour de France is here!

A Grand Départ in Barcelona will see the men’s peloton facing a unique challenge, a team time trial, alongside the punchy Catalan hills before heading directly into the Pyrenees by Stage 3. With no time to ease into the race, how will we see the top teams and contenders react?

But a Grand Tour is more of a marathon than a sprint, and THE Tour de France is no exception! Over 3,333 kilometers in total, the route features a mix of terrains over all five of France’s mountain ranges: the Pyrenees, Massif Central, Vosges, Jura, and the Alps. For the puncheurs and classics specialists? Also plenty of opportunities in the chaotic, rolling terrain of the Massif Central around Bastille Day. The pure climbers will look to make their mark on high-altitude summit finishes like Gavarnie-Gèdre. There’s a little something for everyone in this year’s race… including the audience!

Before we know it, we’ll be to our massive final weekend in the Alps, featuring back-to-back days on the legendary Alpe d’Huez. Only the most versatile and powerful rider will survive this gauntlet to claim the yellow jersey on the Champs-Élysées. Do you know who it will be? We can only watch to find out!
