The 2026 Tour de l’Ain begins on July 28 and promises to become increasingly demanding over the course of its three stages. With a fast-paced opener in the Dombes, a grueling second day on the roads of the Bugey, and a decisive mountain finale in the Pays de Gex, the organizers have designed a route that favors aggressive riding and climbers. True to its DNA, the race—held right after the Tour de France—is once again expected to deliver an intense spectacle and reveal the most well-rounded riders. Check out the route, TV broadcast schedules, and the list of entrants.
