Tour de France returns to Alpe d'Huez
The article discusses the events of the Tour de France in Alpe d’Huez for 2026, as the race prepares to host two consecutive mountain-top stages on Friday and Saturday. This challenging endeavor aims to determine the final standings of the cyclists. The race returns to this region after a four-year absence, during which Tom Pidcock won the last stage in 2022. Stage 19, which will depart from Gap, will feature difficult mountain challenges, with expectations of a possible direct confrontation between the top contenders, especially as it is anticipated to be one of the most difficult mountain stages in the history of the race. It is worth mentioning that Tadej Pogačar, a four-time winner, will be among the favorites despite not having previously won in Alpe d’Huez. This stage will serve as a critical test of the riders’ positions, their capacity to take risks, and their ability to secure victory.
