Carapaz Delivers a Breakaway Triumph for EF Education at Tour Stage 18

Richard Carapaz broke clear from a large day-long break and surged twice in the final 4km to win Stage 18 of the Tour de France for EF Education-EasyPost, finishing 45 seconds ahead of Mauro Schmid and Matteo Jorgenson, with Valentin Paret-Peintre 1:14 behind. The victory is a timely relief for EF Education in their hunt for a Tour stage win, while race leader Tadej Pogačar and the GC contenders remained in a reduced group ahead of two grueling Alpine days to come.

Barça kicks off a fresh era: Tour de France’s new Team Time Trial rules

ASO’s 2026 Tour de France TTT uses a new timing system: eight riders start together, but finish times are taken from each rider’s line time 19.6 km later, so the stage is won by the fastest individual rather than the team’s 4th/5th rider. The change forces teams to rethink leadouts, protect leaders, and tailor tactics to the course, with potential twin-leader strategies and late surges on Montjuïc. The format has already been used in Paris-Nice and Dauphiné (where Visma-Lease a Bike’s Jorgenson shone), signaling early GC drama and a reshaped classification from Barcelona to Paris.

Jorgenson vents frustration after early GC gaps open in Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes opener

Alex Baudin won stage 1 from a breakaway at the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, leaving a GC group including Matteo Jorgenson 44 seconds back and Onley/Vauquelin gaining time on the peloton. Jorgenson bitterly remarked, “You can’t follow everyone,” after Deceuninck? Decathlon’s decision to ease in the chase cost him and other favourites; Visma-Lease a Bike had riders in the late move but did not significantly assist their leader. The result puts Baudin in yellow with Jorgenson and the other main contenders well off the front as the race continues.
