A difficult stage to predict takes the 2026 Tour towards its Sunday finale in Nice. In theory, its great length (172 km) and the punch of the final climbs make it prime terrain for the breakaway, though even a sprint cannot be ruled out.
Colomars and La Ginestière—ramps of up to 13%—, both Category 4 climbs within the final 20 kilometres, should be the launchpads for riders who have managed to make the front group. If the breakaway is not strong enough, the climbs are not overly difficult and controlling the race for a volata is not out of the question.
