2026 Tour de France Competition: FINAL STANDINGS

[marie67]

Stage 14 Pogacar

[Clacton White]

15 Pogacar

[Evan R]

Another fun mountain stage with lots of action, and another stage seeing the GOAT assert his dominance putting 40 more seconds into the other GC hopefuls. He's just simply too good.

For our purposes- all but Cowboy Dan selected Pog and received 10 points. Clacton remains on top of the standings on 60 points, with Marie and Finnatic hot on the trail with 53 points each as we head into the last week.

Stage 15 is another big Mountain stage, before seeing our final rest day on Monday.

Stage 15: Champagnole - Plateau de Solaison
Date: July 19, 2026
Distance: 183.9km
Start time: 13:10 CET

Stage 15 - Pogacar

[Evan R]

Impressive climbing from Remco today, as he takes the stage win over Pog on a sprint finish after the summit of Plateau de Solaison, completing the third straight difficult day in the Mountains. Stage 15 also unforunately saw the loss of Jonas Vingegaard from the competition, as he was involved in a crash just 20km before the end of the stage, succumbing to what appeared to be a broken collarbone. Multiple stage winner Tim Merlier was another notable abandonment, as he was unable to get through the difficult mountain stage.

For our purposes- Clacton, Finn, Cowboy Dan, and John R each receive 5 points for Pogacar finishing in second. Blank for the rest of us. It remains tightly bunched at the top with 6 stages left to go. Vingegaard's abandonment of course has implications on the pre-race prediction portion of our contest, as all but John had him second for their podium picks. (Though he did have Jonas winning overall )
Rest day tomorrow, before we resume on Tuesday for a stage 16 Individual Time-Trial.

Stage 16 - Evenepoul

This could go two ways, RE will either be tired after yesterday or he’ll be even more motivated as this was the stage I was expecting him to win anyway.
Was going to go for Pogacar but I’ll stick with Remco .

[Pullhard]

Stage 16 - Remco Evenepol

Trying not to pick Pog.

[Clacton White]

Actually visited both Thonon and Evian in May and they had posters out for the tour , both very nice places on the shore of Lake Geneva. Best town though was Yvoirre a bit to the west .

Stage 16 Remco Evenepoel

[Evan R]

A pretty predictable ITT- Remco wins it and gets back about 30 seconds on Tadej. Paul Seixas had a nice trial as well, gaining about 5 seconds back from Del Toro who still leads the White Jersey by 20 seconds. Also of note- Florian Lipowitz of RBBH crashed out of the tour with what appeared to be a broken collarbone.

For our purposes- everyone selected Remco so we all get 10 points and thus the standings remain the same.

Stage 17 is considered a "Flat" stage on the Tour de France website, but the terrain certainly looks a bit more hilly than a typical sprint stage.

Stage 17: Chambery - Voiron
Date: July 21, 2026
