English commentary of the Tour de France 2026 will be provided by longtime British cycling broadcaster Anthony McCrossan and Ireland’s Nicolas Roche, who competed in the TDF 10 times. A French broadcast also will be available.
Gregor Brown, the international producer for FloBikes, will be on the ground to provide all the behind-the-scenes content, interviews and breakdowns of each stage, offering both previews and an explanation of how things unfolded during every challenging segment of the race.
As expected at the premier race on the cycling calendar, the rivalries will be fierce, the terrain will be tough, the storylines will be abundant and the action and surprises will be non-stop until the surviving riders cruise into Paris on July 26.
Will 27-year-old superstar Tadej Pogačar be able to win the Tour de France for the third consecutive year, and fifth time overall, to become the fifth athlete in history to accomplish the latter?
Or is this the year his biggest rival, Jonas Vingegaard, reclaims the top spot on the podium after back-to-back runner-up finishes to Pogačar?
Vingegaard has earned the coveted yellow jersey on two occasions – 2022 and 2023 – and he’s riding in on the momentum of thrilling win in his debut at the Giro d’Italia, where he became the eighth rider in history to win all three Grand Tours at least once each. That’s something even Pogačar hasn’t accomplished – yet.
It also is important to note that even though their pace of success hasn’t seemed to slow down this decade, Pogačar and Vingegaard aren’t getting any younger. And there’s a new generation of stars riding up the ranks and ready to challenge the veterans.
The list of riders to keep an eye on during the upcoming 113th edition of the Tour de France includes 19-year-old French newcomer Paul Seixas, Giro d’Italia 2025 breakout star Isaac del Toro, Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe teammates Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz, Pogačar’s former teammate Juan Ayuso and many other outside possibilities talented enough to win stages and make noise in the General Classification.
No one except Pogačar (2020, 2021, 2024, 2025) and Vingegaard (2022, 2023) has won the Tour de France since Egan Bernal hoisted the trophy in 2019, but is this the year that changes?

When Does The Tour de France 2026 Start?
The Tour de France 2026 starts July 4 and will conclude July 26.
The schedule includes 21 stages and two rest days (July 13 and July 20).
Every day, the cyclists start together. Every stage varies in distance and physical demand, and the characteristics of each stage determine what type of rider should excel or how the race should finish.
For example, some stages feature flat finishes, and that means the sprinters likely will be battling for those stage wins.
The three weeks of racing across Barcelona and France will feature eight mountain stages, including five summit finishes, seven flat stages, four hilly days, an individual time trial and a team time trial to kick things off on July 4.

Who Won The Tour de France In 2025?
Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar added to his growing legacy by winning the Tour de France in 2025.
It was his second consecutive victory at the event, and fourth overall (2020, 2021), making him the sixth rider in history to win four times.
Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault and Miguel Indurain all have won five times, while Chris Froome joins Pogačar with four.
On his way to securing the yellow jersey in 2025, Pogačar was the pre-race favorite.
His title defense featured four stage wins (4, 7, 12, 13), and he finished more than four minutes ahead of runner-up Jonas Vingegaard. Florian Lipowitz was third, 11 minutes behind Pogačar, who also won the King of the Mountains jersey.
Pogačar owns five Grand Tour victories overall, including the Giro d’Italia in 2024, which was part of a historic Giro-TDF double, a feat that hadn’t been accomplished since 1998.
In 2026, Vingegaard, a two-time Tour de France winner, will be looking to match the effort after claiming the GC title at the Giro d’Italia in May and becoming the eighth rider to win all three Grand Tours at least one time.
Merckx has the most GC wins in Grand Tours with 11, followed by Hinault, who has 10.
Pogačar has maintained his elite form in 2026 and started the year with four wins in his first five events. He then added four stages wins on the way to the GC crown at the five-stage Tour de Romandie.
Should Tadej Pogačar Be Worried About Jonas Vingegaard? Tour de France 2026
Jonas Vingegaard heads into the Tour de France 2026 after an extraordinary season that already includes victories at Paris-Nice, Volta a Catalunya and the Giro d’Italia.
But does the Dane have what it takes to challenge Tadej Pogačar when the Tour de France begins on July 4 in Barcelona? We analyze the strengths, weaknesses, and key questions surrounding one of cycling’s biggest rivalries ahead of the sport’s biggest race.
