Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes 2026 Classifications Update Stage 1 - Alex Baudin takes yellow, polka dots and white after breakaway masterclass

The 2026 Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes classifications will evolve across eight days of racing, from the opening stage in Vizille to the final summit finish at Plateau de Solaison. Every climbing test, sprint opportunity, breakaway move and team time trial has the potential to reshape the fight for the race lead and the other jersey competitions.

This live classifications hub will be updated after each stage of the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes with the latest General Classification, Points Classification, Mountains Classification and Best Young Rider rankings. As the race develops, this page will track every major movement across the race’s four key competitions.

From the opening stage to the final mountain showdown, this page will follow every major standings change throughout the 2026 Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes.

Stage 1 immediately created a more meaningful GC picture than a typical opening day, with Alex Baudin moving into the first leader’s jersey after winning from the breakaway. The Frenchman now leads Ramses Debruyne, Leo Bisiaux, Kevin Vermaerke, Rudy Molard, Ben Tulett, Luke Plapp, Kevin Vauquelin, Luke Tuckwell and Oscar Onley by 32 seconds.

That late split behind Baudin could prove useful for riders such as Onley, Vauquelin and Plapp, who all gained time on the main GC group. Isaac del Toro, Juan Ayuso, Paul Seixas, Santiago Buitrago, Matteo Jorgenson and Mattias Skjelmose all finished 44 seconds down, meaning they already have a small deficit to erase as the race moves deeper into the week.

Baudin also leads the points classification after stage 1, taking 15 points with victory in Saint-Ismier. Ramses Debruyne sits second on 12 points, with Leo Bisiaux and Nadav Raisberg level on 10 after the opening day.

Baudin also took control of the mountains classification after stage 1, collecting 14 points across his long breakaway ride and solo attack. Sergio Samitier sits second on 11 points, with Clement Braz Afonso third on 8, level with Kevin Vermaerke.

Baudin completed a clean sweep of the main standings after stage 1 by also leading the young rider classification. Ramses Debruyne is second at 32 seconds, with Leo Bisiaux, Ben Tulett, Luke Tuckwell, Kevin Vauquelin and Oscar Onley also gaining time on the next group of young GC contenders.

Team Visma | Lease a Bike lead the team classification after stage 1, finishing the opening day nine seconds ahead of Groupama - FDJ United. Netcompany INEOS sit third at 17 seconds, with EF Education - EasyPost fourth after Baudin’s stage-winning ride.
