Crashes and Courage: 26 DNFs mark the 2026 Tour de France

184 riders started the Tour de France in Barcelona, 158 finished in Paris, and 26 DNFs were recorded—the second-lowest attrition of the decade. High-caliber riders like Jonas Vingegaard, Florian Lipowitz, Tim Merlier and Torstein Træen dropped out, including notable crashes that left several with injuries (Vingegaard/Lipowitz with fractured collarbones) and others like Chris Harper losing part of a thumb while Einer Rubio needed stitches after a collision on Alpe d’Huez. The piece lists all 26 dropouts and contrasts a relatively low dropout count with a race defined by dramatic crashes and elite competition.

Vingegaard's High-Speed Crash Reframes the Tour's Narrative

Jonas Vingegaard crashed on Stage 15 of the Tour de France, breaking his collarbone and forcing him out of the race after a high-speed fall into a curb in a fast right-hander. He told TV2 he’s “surprisingly well” despite pain and accepted personal blame for the mishap. The incident sparked debate over possible contributing factors, including a controversial 2 a.m. doping control and a stray motorbike, as Visma-Lease a Bike and rivals weighed in while Remco Evenepoel took the stage win. Vingegaard hinted at his future plans, with the Giro d’Italia on the horizon in 2026 and the possibility of Montreal worlds looming, though his return to racing remains uncertain.

Night-time doping tests cleared for Pogacar and Vingegaard before Tour de France

Paris prosecutors say a judge authorised two late-night dopings tests for Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard ahead of the Tour de France after “serious suspicions.” The samples were collected at 2am and 5am by the International Testing Agency under French law, a procedure first used since 2015. Reports indicate other riders were tested in the early hours as well; the ITA acknowledged the disruption to riders’ rest but defended the need for effective testing. Vingegaard later crashed in Stage 10 and withdrew, with Pogačar suggesting sleep disruption could have affected performance.

Pogacar: Vingegaard missing a bit this Tour as Alps loom

Tadej Pogacar said Jonas Vingegaard is “missing a little bit” of their previous Tour form, even as Vingegaard pressured on Stage 14 and Pogacar extended his GC lead to 4:30 with another solo win. He credited Vingegaard’s front work but suggested the Dane lacks a bit of “grinta” in the mountains and could be stronger in the Alps, with a time trial and Alpe d’Huez still to come as UAE Team Emirates-XRG maintains an aggressive, non-defensive approach.

Pogačar Unleashes 15km Solo to Win Stage 10

Tadej Pogačar attacked with about 15km to go to win Stage 10 of the Tour de France, pulling away from the chasers for his third stage win of the race as Remco Evenepoel sprinted to second and Paul Seixas took third. Jonas Vingegaard was dropped and finished seventh, ceding more time in the GC. The victory widens Pogačar’s overall lead to 3:36 over Vingegaard as UAE Emirates-XRG pressed the pace on a brutal Massif Central stage with seven climbs, leaving the field buzzed and the home fans buzzing on Bastille Day.

Tourmalet gamble backfires as Pogacar seizes the Tour’s suspense

The Tour de France organizers aimed for suspense until the end by staging a late high-mountain day with a long finish, but Tadej Pogačar exploited the Tourmalet sequence to launch a devastating attack, leaving a 2:38 GC gap by stage 6. Gouvenou conceded the stage design underestimated just how large the gaps could get, suggesting a summit finish might have preserved more tension.

Vingegaard takes early edge as Pogacar chases fifth Tour in Barcelona TT

Jonas Vingegaard and Visma–Lease a Bike posted the fastest time on the 19.6-km team time trial in Barcelona, grabbing a 12-second advantage over Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates-XRG as the 2026 Tour de France began. Pogacar, aiming to equal the record with a fifth title, led his squad but couldn’t beat Vingegaard on the opening stage—the first Tour team time trial since 2019, now timed with riders individually. The three-week race will continue across France with major climbs like the Pyrenees and Alpe d’Huez still to come.
