Stage 3 on Sunday, August 1 is the first team time trial in the race's history: 18 km through central London, finishing on The Mall. "The team time trial has always been one of the most exciting and spectacular formats in cycling," race director Marion Rousse said when the plan was announced in April 2026.
The race then crosses to France and spends three days on stages that look easy on paper. Le Touquet-Paris-Plage to Calais (123 km) runs along the Opal Coast, Neufchâtel-en-Bray to Magnanville (161 km) has about 1,940 meters of climbing, and Orléans to Bourges (138 km, 820 meters) is the flattest stage of the week.
The last three days go into the Massif Central. Stage 7 from Nevers ends on La Loge des Gardes, the first summit finish, a 6.7 km climb at 7.1 percent. Stage 8 from La Bourboule to Clermont-Ferrand (151 km) crosses the Col de la Croix Saint-Robert, at 1,451 meters the highest point of the race. The Tour ends on Saturday, August 7 with 170 km from Clermont-Ferrand to the Puy de Dôme, the longest stage and the one with the most climbing, about 3,840 meters. The last four kilometers average about 12 percent. It is the first time the women's Tour finishes on the volcano, which the men's Tour last climbed in 2023, when Michael Woods won after 35 years without a visit. In 1964 Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor rode side by side almost to the top.
Time bonuses of 10, 6 and 4 seconds go to the first three at the finish of every road stage. The route has no Alps or Pyrenees.
