What makes this edition different
Grand Départ in Barcelona
For the third time the Tour starts in Spain (after 1992 and 2023), with a Grand Départ in the heart of Catalonia.
Opening team time trial
The first opening TTT since 1971: 19.7 km through the streets of Barcelona.
Double Alpe d'Huez
Two consecutive finishes on the legendary climb (stages 19 and 20) — never seen before.
The duel: Pogačar vs Vingegaard
It's the rivalry that defines the era. Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) arrives as the big favorite; Jonas Vingegaard (Visma–Lease a Bike) answers back after conquering the 2026 Giro d'Italia in his best-ever form. Bonus seconds and time trials could decide everything. The spice of this edition.
