Tour de France

The Tour de France stands as the most prestigious event in professional cycling and remains the world’s largest annual sporting event. Taking place over 23 days each July, the race covers more than 3,500 kilometres (around 2,200 miles) through France and occasionally neighbouring countries.

The 2026 edition will feature 21 stages, a challenging mix of flat sprints, hilly terrain, mountain climbs, and individual time trials. Riders must combine endurance, strategy, and teamwork to conquer the course and compete for cycling’s most coveted prize: the maillot jaune (yellow jersey), worn by the overall race leader.
