The 2026 road cycling season is drawing to a close, but preparations for next year are already getting underway, with the unveiling of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes routes a major event of the offseason.
There have been plenty of Tour de France route rumours circulating ahead of the presentation ceremony this week. British Grand Départs are already confirmed for both races, too.
The women's race looks set to then traverse across France, including a visit to the famous Puy de Dôme climb as a race centrepiece. The men's Tour looks set to feature the Grand Colombier and the Col du Tourmalet, with the famous final day Montmartre stage also set to be revisited.
