- Date: July 14, 2026
- Distance: 166.6km
- Start time: 13:10 CET

The peloton returns from the first rest day for a serious climbing test for stage 9 on Bastille Day, 166 kilometres from Aurillac through the volcanic mountains of the Cantal, in the heart of the Massif Central, to the summit finish at Le Lioran.
The same finish featured in 2024, when Jonas Vingegaard out-sprinted Tadej Pogačar for the first time. France's climbers will be eager to seize the occasion and go on the attack in front of their home crowd on the national holiday.
The day turns serious 91km into the stage at the Col de la Griffoul (3km at 7.2%), new to the Tour. Challenges continue with the two category 1 climbs of Pas de Peyrol tackled from Murat and Col de Pertus before the final push up Col de Font de Cère, cresting less than three kilometres from the line.
