Tour de l’Ain 2026

Tour de l’Ain 2026 packs three stages of Jura climbing and time trial racing into a compact format. Cian Uijtdebroeks defends after winning in 2025. The late-July timing attracts riders with Tour or pre-Vuelta form, which lifts the intensity.

Uijtdebroeks has the climbing ability for the summit finishes. Gall is a proven Jura-style climber. Storer has won this race twice (2021, 2023). Tiberi brings improving GC form. Sivakov has the mountain experience. Lipowitz has the climbing and time trial combination for the compact format.
