Stage 1 TTT Recap + Stage 2 Preview | Barcelona Chaos | Tour de France 2026

Vingegaard draws first blood. Visma smash the Barcelona TTT to
snatch yellow off Pogačar on day one - but it's Ineos who'll be
gutted, with Vauquelin's puncture undoing a near-perfect ride and
leaving Ganna to drag them home solo. Alex and Max break down the
TTT chaos: Movistar's Uijtdebroeks losing over a minute, two
crashes inside the neutral zone, and why the new individual-time
format just changed team tactics forever.


Plus — Stage 2 preview. Three trips up the brutal Montjuïc climb
(9.3% average, kicking to 13%) sets up a puncher's paradise from
Tarragona to Barcelona. Could we get a Van der Poel–Pogačar
rematch of last year's sprint finish? Plappy gives his read on
who thrives when the road tilts up three times in the closing
kays.
