Unlike last year\u2019s route, which hugged France\u2019s northern coast for the first week and made a day-trip from the UK an easy boat or train hop, this year\u2019s route stays in the southern half of France.<\/p><p>Last year\u2019s Tour de France constrained itself within the boundaries of L'Hexagone for the first time since 2020. It\u2019s back to an abroad start for Le Tour in 2026 with the opening three stages taking place in Spain, although the finish of stage three is at Les Angles in France.<\/p><p>The opening stage in Barcelona is the first team time trial since 2019, but, unlike then, individual rather than team times will count. None of the early or Pyrenean stages is likely to be decisive, and it will probably be a battle between the likes of Mathieu van der Poel and the overall contenders looking for bonus seconds.<\/p><p>The first true sprinter stage comes on stage 5 from Lannemezan to Pau. There follows a sequence of lumpy and flat stages before the first true test of the leading contenders on stage 14 from Mulhouse to Le Markstein Fellering. Three first-category climbs, with the last just five kilometres from the finish, are a prelude to five stages that will almost certainly decide this year\u2019s Tour de France.<\/p><p>Stage 15 concludes with a hors category climb; stage 16 is the only individual time trial, which features a second category climb; stages 18 and 19 both have mountaintop finishes, before finally stage 20, which has 5,600 metres of climbing including the Col de la Croix de Fer, the T\u00e9l\u00e9graphe, and the Galibier.<\/p><p>If that hasn\u2019t decided all of the overall placings, the traditional parade on the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es includes, like last year, three climbs up to Montmartre.<\/p><p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"\/gift-ideas-for-cyclists\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><u><img src=\"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/lrnehti8ibyuvmod4xcfc3tvzm8izgtqe7wdxeziqq1bpfxc.png.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"Gift ideas for cycling fans\" title=\"Gift ideas for cycling fans\" \/><\/u><\/a><\/p><h2 style=\"text-align:center;\"><strong>Tour de France 2026 - Key stages<\/strong><\/h2><p>We\u2019ve picked out the stages that you won\u2019t want to miss, as they are likely to be decisive in deciding who will don the final yellow jersey in Paris or should provide some exciting racing<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align:center;\">Week 1 - From Barcelona to Ussel<\/h3><p><strong>Stage 1 - Saturday 4 July - <\/strong>The Team Time Trial with a climb to the finish will favour the stronger teams and overall contenders who can time trial.<\/p><p><strong>Stage 6 - Thursday 9 July<\/strong> - The Col d\u2019Aspin, Col du Tourmalet and the second category climb to the finish at Gavarnie-G\u00e8dre will demonstrate who is in form and who isn\u2019t.<\/p><h3 style=\"text-align:center;\">Week 2 - From Aurillac to Plateau de Solaison<\/h3><p><strong>Stage 13 - Friday 17 July<\/strong> - The Ballon d\u2019Alsace comes thirty kilometres from the finish in <span style=\"font-family:Roboto, sans-serif;\">Belfort.
