Tour de France 2026 Stage 18 Preview: Rewarding The Brave @FloBikes

Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Stage 18 of the 2026 Tour de France takes the race into the Alps with a tough 185-kilometer mountain stage finishing at Orcières-Merlette.

With five categorized climbs, including the final summit finish, this could be one of the last real chances for mountain attackers to go after a stage win before the race turns toward the major Alpe d’Huez battles.

In this preview, we break down what is at stake on Stage 18 and why Orcières-Merlette could be a key transition point in the final week.

$Tadej Pogacar Returns On Top At The Vuelta a España Stage 1 Tadej Pogacar won Stage 1 of the 2026 Vuelta a España, blasting around Monaco in the 9.4-kilometer opening time trial. He beat Ethan Hayter by a fraction of a second, with Josh Tarling also delivering an emotional ride. Pogacar now wears the red leader’s jersey in his first Vuelta appearance since 2019, when he made his Grand Tour debut. We review the dramatic Monaco opener and ask whether Pogacar can hold red all the way to the end.
