Final startlist GP de Montreal 2026 - Riders: Remco Evenepoel, Isaac del Toro, Tom Pidcock, Paul Seixas, Brandon McNulty and more
Cycling
The Grand Prix Cycliste de Montreal takes place on Sunday, 13 September 2026, with one of the strongest one-day fields of the autumn heading to Mont Royal for the second half of Canada's WorldTour double-header.
Montreal has long been the more attritional of the two Canadian races, but this year's edition carries an extra layer of importance.
The World Championships return to the city later in September, meaning many of the riders targeting the rainbow jersey will get a valuable race-speed look at terrain closely related to the decisive part of the Worlds course

McNulty returns to defend as Worlds contenders gather in Montreal
One of the clearest names to watch is Brandon McNulty, who returns as defending champion after leading home a UAE one-two in 2025. His team arrives with extraordinary depth again, with Isaac del Toro, Adam Yates, Jhonatan Narvaez, Tim Wellens, Florian Vermeersch and Felix Grossschartner all also included.
The race also provides another major step towards the World Championships for Remco Evenepoel. Montreal's repeated climbing and selective nature make it a much more revealing test than a straightforward warm-up, and Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe can also call on Maxim Van Gils should the race develop into a more explosive finale.
For Tom Pidcock, the circuit looks particularly inviting. The Pinarello Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team leader has the climbing and acceleration needed for a race that often breaks down through repeated attacks rather than one decisive ascent.
Brandon McNulty returns as defending champion
Paul Seixas is another rider whose presence carries obvious interest. The Frenchman has been one of the breakthrough names of 2026, and Montreal offers a stern one-day examination ahead of his next major objectives. Decathlon CMA CGM Team also bring Tiesj Benoot and Paul Lapeira.
Lidl-Trek have no shortage of options either. Quinn Simmons returns after finishing third here in 2025, while Juan Ayuso, Giulio Ciccone and Derek Gee-West give the team several different ways to approach a hard race.
Home attention will naturally fall on Michael Woods, who lines up for the Canadian national team and has the climbing pedigree to make an impact if the race becomes especially selective.
There is depth well beyond the most obvious favourites too, with Matteo Jorgenson, Ben Healy, Marc Hirschi, Alberto Bettiol, Lennert Van Eetvelt, Thymen Arensman, Magnus Sheffield, Sergio Higuita, Michal Kwiatkowski, Mauro Schmid and Michael Matthews all included in a high-class field.

- It doesnt take a genius to understand that Pogi is 1 level above and Pogi is younger that Jonas, so Jonas will not win under ordinary circumstances. Pogi has to crack hard for Jonas to win. It doesn't matter whether you defend Jonas or not , facts remain facts. Jonas himself says his numbers are better than 2022/2023, so Jonas is more or less optimized and we are just see the stochastic variation due to other factors. I think he will retire along with Pedersen in WC denmarkabstractengineer13-11-2026
- They only raced each other during the 2026 Tour, but here's a few metrics to look at. Stage 3 (Granollers to Les Angles): Pogačar won the stage, finishing 2 seconds ahead of Vingegaard (2nd). Del Toro finished 24 seconds behind Stage 6 (Pau to Gavarnie-Gedre / Col du Tourmalet): Pogačar won solo, Vingegaard finished 2nd (losing 2:38), and Del Toro finished 3rd (at +2:57, finishing 19 seconds behind Vingegaard). Here, Jonas Vingegaard outclimbed Isaac del Toro by 19 seconds on the mountain stageawp13-11-2026
- your clinging to the past. Jonas was dropped by del toro many times last year and jonas never managed a climbing numers del toro did in dauphine last year -entire year. Trend is also evident theres no discussion your living in the past, its beent he same with jonas for many years now and only developing, meanwhile del toro is rising and developing greatly. This is all obvious stuff and im not even a del toro fan. No point discussing numbers or this i suspect you dont watch much now but rather think its 2022 still cause this aint hard.miguel13-11-2026
- We can go through metrics if you like, Del Toro, who I do admire and support, is not on the same level as Jonas just yet. You will see that in early 2027 if they have any crossover races. I do hope they both race the Giro. You are correct though, Jonas is getting older and will not be able to hand on much longer. I see 2027 as a good year for him. Obviously behind Tadej though.awp13-11-2026
- What wins? Are you LA operating under a pseudonym?mij13-11-2026
- My point is this - Tadej, Remco, Seixas are all the outliers. Many riders don’t hit their peak until 28. It’s way too early to write him off. And the pogi slo guy that hates him - he’s also immature. Ayuso needs time.mij13-11-2026
- Then you need to use ur eyes or head if you have cause del toro already dropped jonas two times and beat him in tdf stages already this year.. Del toro climbed(dauphine) better numbers than jonas did all year too. So ur feelings and wishful thinking doesnt amtter del toro himself has already surpassed jonas infact just facts. Its also very evident for anyone objective that Jonas is declining alot, its just the truth and super obvious.miguel13-11-2026
- None of those victories stand, so there's that,wrsty13-11-2026
- No surprise there; it is British Sycling, yes, with an S
Rafionain-Glas12-11-2026 - I like Del Toro but he's not on the level of Jonas, by a large margin.awp12-11-2026
