About this puzzle
The 2026 Tour de France — the 113th edition of cycling's greatest race — gets underway on July 4, 2026 with a team time trial in Barcelona, Spain, marking only the third time in history the Tour has launched outside France. From there, 23 teams of the world's best cyclists will race through the Pyrenees, the Massif Central, the Vosges, and the Alps over 21 stages and 3,333 kilometers before reaching the finish line on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on July 26.
The 2026 route has been called one of the most demanding in decades, featuring 54,450 meters of total elevation gain and five summit finishes, including two consecutive stage finishes at the legendary Alpe d'Huez in the final weekend of racing — a first in Tour history. The Col du Tourmalet, one of cycling's most iconic climbs, appears for its 88th time in the race. Defending champion Tadej Pogačar enters as the favorite to win an unprecedented third straight title, with Jonas Vingegaard expected to be his chief rival once again.
The Tour de France was first held in 1903, created to sell newspapers, and has grown into one of the most watched annual sporting events in the world, drawing an estimated 3.5 billion cumulative TV viewers across its three weeks. Millions of fans line the roads each July, many camping overnight on mountain passes just to see the peloton fly past in a matter of seconds — a tradition that makes the Tour unlike any other race in sport.
