Tour de France 2026 Route Announced, Sparking Controversy?

Others are taking sides. United States hasn't spoken yet.

Bangladesh is leading 'The Tour de France organizers are pushing too far by introducing overly difficult stages that alienate mainstream viewers and risk damaging public interest in cycling events.', while Lesotho stands for 'Introducing challenging new routes for the Tour de France is a bold move to keep things fresh, exciting fans with unpredictable terrain rather than boring them with familiar paths.'. United States... this is still ours to define.
