Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard headline the start list for the 2026 Tour de France as they resume their era-defining battle for the yellow jersey.
Below them, this year’s Tour is stacked with superstar cyclists.
Mathieu van der Poel, Remco Evenepoel, Biniam Girmay, and U.S. national champion Quinn Simmons are among the 184 riders who will line out for the Barcelona grand départ on July 4.
Wout van Aert and Oscar Onley are the only key names missing from a Tour de France that’s loaded with talent at both ends of the peloton.
Pogačar, Vingegaard, and Evenepoel are joined by Paul Seixas and Mexican ace Isaac del Toro in the chase for yellow.
Tom Pidcock, Juan Ayuso, and USA’s Matteo Jorgenson are among almost a dozen riders jostling for a coveted top-5.
And the sprint field is equally strong.
Former green jersey winners Girmay and Jasper Philipsen are rivaled by Mads Pedersen, Olav Kooij, and sprint king Tim Merlier.
Eight North Americans are racing this year’s Tour de France – six from the U.S. and one each from Canada and Mexico.
Sepp Kuss, Matthew Riccitello, Sean Quinn, Brandon McNulty, and Derek Gee-West make up the balance of the small but mighty North American contingent.
