Tour de France 2026: stage seven updates on road to Bordeaux after Pogacar demolition – live

Stage seven of the 2026 Tour de France is a flat 175.1km route from Hagetmau to Bordeaux, historically one of cycling's most prestigious sprint finishes with past winners including Mark Cavendish, Freddy Maertens, and Rik van Looy. The stage gains added significance this year as the traditional Paris finale on the Champs-Élysées is no longer guaranteed to end in a bunch sprint due to the addition of the Montmartre climb. Jasper Philipsen, who won the Bordeaux stage in 2023, is the heavy favourite to take victory again, with this stage coming in the wake of a dominant performance by Tadej Pogačar.
