The world’s biggest cycling race is back, with the 113th edition of the Tour de France set to wind its way from the streets of Barcelona to the finish line on the Champs-Elysees over the course of three weeks. 

While anything can happen across the 3,321 kilometers that await, the men who have combined to win the last six Tours will be command the spotlight. Tadej Pogacar will try for his third consecutive yellow jersey and fifth overall, which would tie him for the most all-time. His primary opposition figures to come from Jonas Vingegaard, who won in 2022 and 2023 and is fresh off a triumph at the Giro d’Italia, where he became the eighth man to win all three of the sport’s grand tours. 

It would be a surprise if the general classification battle doesn’t come down to those two, but there will be plenty of other storylines to follow. First on that list is the Tour debut of Paul Seixas, the 19-year-old Frenchman who has taken the sport by storm this year with wins at the Tour of the Basque Country and La Fleche Wallonne and second-place finishes behind Pogacar at the Strade Bianche and Liege-Bastogne-Liege. 

The lone Canadian rider among the 184 men starting this year’s Tour is Derek Gee-West. The 28-year-old Ottawa native was a late add to the Lidl-Trek squad after a fifth-place showing in the general classification at the Giro d’Italia. He also rode the Tour in 2024, finishing ninth in the GC standings. 

Who will endure across 21 stages and emerge as the champion in 2026? Here’s when and where to watch every stage of this year’s Tour.
