Tour de France 2026 Stage 2 in Catalonia

The riders will travel 168.5km from Tarragona to Barcelona in the second stage of the 2026 Tour de France. The race begins with a neutralized stretch called 'départ fictif' before race general director Christian Prudhomme officially drops the flag to start the competition.

Questions arise about why the prestigious cycling event is commencing in Spain, with organizers yet to fully address this departure from the traditional French start. mwafrika.life
