Three compact Jura stages in late July, where summit finishes and a time trial decide a tight GC.
2026
Tour de l'Ain 2026 runs three stages through the Jura foothills in late July, combining climbing stages with a time trial in a compact format that leaves no room for recovery. Cian Uijtdebroeks won in 2025, and the race has a strong recent winners list including Roglic (2020), Pinot (2017, 2019), and Storer (2021, 2023). The late-July timing means riders arrive with Tour de France fitness or pre-Vuelta sharpness, creating a field that races harder than a three-stage event might suggest.
Watch
Three compact stages mean every day matters. The summit finish and time trial are the key GC stages. No recovery days.
