Tour du Doubs 2026 preview: Martinez, Gall, and Martin fit another hard French climbing day

Tour du Doubs sits in the same demanding French block that usually rewards riders who can climb repeatedly and still finish with intent. This is a race that punishes dead weight and rewards precise timing late.

Lenny Martinez has the sharpest kick for a decisive uphill move, while Felix Gall and Guillaume Martin can win if the climbing load turns the race into a longer elimination test. Cristian Rodriguez and Jesus Herrada are the most credible alternatives if the finale stays tactical.
