Barcelona will host the start of the Tour de France in 2026 after negotiations between the city's council and Christian Prudhomme, marking its third Grand Tour start.
Lille is confirmed to host the Tour in 2025 with sprint stages and a potential punchy uphill finish, while Barcelona's 2026 start remains to be officially announced.
Barcelona previously hosted a Vuelta team time trial and a Tour de France stage, potentially hinting at a varied and exciting route for the 2026 start.
The 2026 Tour de France may involve early mountain stages, possibly through the Pyrenees, in line with the route tradition and previous race patterns.
