Startlist Tour des Alpes Maritimes 2026 | Riders: Christian Scaroni, Lenny Martínez, Marc Hirschi and more

The Tour des Alpes Maritimes will be taking place on the 22nd of February in 2026, and is back to a one-day race format, which will give the climbers and classics specialists the chance to take a prestigious victory in the packed French February calendar. We take a look at its startlist.

The Tour des Alpes Maritimes et du Var has been split over the past few years, with the Classic Var becoming its own even. The Tour des Alpes Maritimes now exclusively focuses on the southeastern corner of the country and is the race that carries the legacy of the decades-old event. It's first edition dates back to 1969 and was won by none other than Raymond Poulidor, one of France's best ever.

This is a race that has often marked the start of the international cycling calendar and features massive names as its historic winners suhch as Joop Zoetemelk, Bernard Thévenet, Sean Kelly and even Laurent Jalabert managed to win it on two occasions. In the 21st century however the list of winners hasn't lost much prestige; as Philippe Gilbert cemented his name as a winner in his early career back in 2025.

Filippo Pozzato, Davide Rebellin, Thomas Voeckler and Thibaut Pinot are all riders who are in the race's palmarès; whilst this decade Nairo Quintana has taken the overall win in both 2020 and 2022. In 2025 it was Christian Scaroni who took the win in the two-day stage-race, beating Santiago Buitrago and Lenny Martínez. Download the startlist in A4.
