Tour de France master tag
The UCI Tour de France 2026 will have two stages with an Alpe d’Huez finish:
Stage 19, July 24: Gap – Alpe d’Huez and Stage 20, July 25: Le Bourg-d’Oisans – Alpe d’Huez.
Stage 20 will pass through Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne and contrary to the previous two times it did – before my Tours of 2021 and 2022 – I will be there too.
