How are the favourites preparing for the Tour de France 2026?

The Tour de France 2026 is set to begin in Barcelona in under a month, with Tadej Pogačar leading the favourites as he seeks a record-equalling fifth Tour victory. Jonas Vingegaard and 19-year-old Paul Seixas, making his Tour debut, are considered podium contenders, though none of the three will race against each other before the Grand Départ. Pogačar has been conducting pre-Tour reconnaissance in the Vosges and northern Alps after stopping racing following the Tour de Romandie.
