The favourites, sprinters, climbers and adventurers who light up the 2026 Tour de France. Which one suits you best?
🇸🇮 Tadej Pogačar
The all-rounder
UAE Team Emirates–XRG
Top favourite for a record-equalling fifth Tour win. Pogačar wins Classics and Grand Tours alike, attacking where others wait.
🇩🇰 Jonas Vingegaard
The ice-cold climber
Team Visma–Lease a Bike
Two-time Tour winner and Pogačar's number one challenger. Calculated, disciplined and at his best in the highest mountains.
🇧🇪 Remco Evenepoel
The lone wolf
Soudal Quick-Step
Time trial world champion and Olympic champion. Aggressive and independent; a master against the clock and on solo attacks.
🇳🇱 Mathieu van der Poel
The chaos engine
Alpecin–Deceuninck
Explosive, unpredictable and always a show. A phenomenon in the Classics who lights up the Tour too.
🇧🇪 Wout van Aert
The Belgian beast
Team Visma–Lease a Bike
Versatile, dominant and loyal. Can win in sprints, time trials and mountains, yet just as happily sacrifices for the team.
🇧🇪 Jasper Philipsen
The sprint king
Alpecin–Deceuninck
One of the fastest men in the world. Tactically sharp and ice-calm in the final 200 metres.
🇩🇰 Mads Pedersen
The all-weather warrior
Lidl–Trek
Former world champion and green-jersey contender. Powerful and fearless in any condition, especially when it gets hard.
🇸🇮 Primož Roglič
The comeback king
Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe
A former ski jumper with an iron will. Strong against the clock and never to be counted out of the GC.

The young prodigy

Young, talented and ambitious. A climber and time triallist dreaming of his own GC tilt.
🇫🇷 Paul Seixas
The French hope
Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale
At 19, the youngest Tour starter since the 1930s. The poster boy of a new French generation.

The luxury domestique
UAE Team Emirates–XRG
One of the season's revelations, but in service of Pogačar. Strong enough to win stages himself.

Two-time world champion and crowd favourite. Lives for the attack and always races with emotion.

The Dutch speedster

Pure speed and power. Built for the bunch sprint and nothing else.

The attacker

A tireless attacker who races from distance. Wore yellow for days in 2025 thanks to sheer boldness.

Former world champion and the smart, selfless backbone of his team.
