Annual multi-stage road race through Spain, with global cycling's grand-tour pedigree.
Froome has confirmed retirement after a career defined by four Tour de France titles and Grand Tour success, with a dramatic crash in 2019 and subsequent struggles ending his competitive career following injuries sustained in August 2025. He leaves as one of cycling’s most decorated riders, with seven Grand Tours won.
The Tour de France 2026 has begun with a team time trial in Barcelona. The race features a new format and a field including Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel, and Paul Seixas as it spans 21 stages from Spain to Paris. TV rights shift in the UK mean TNT Sports and HBO Max broadcast the race, with a Channel 5 highlights slot.
