Tour de France 2026 Classifications Update Stage 11 - Biniam Girmay closes on Mads Pedersen as Tadej Pogacar keeps 3:36 lead
CyclingWednesday, 15 July 2026 at 18:28
The 2026 Tour de France classifications will shift across three weeks of racing, from the Grand Départ in Barcelona on 4 July to the final stage in Paris on 26 July. Across time trials, sprint stages, breakaway opportunities and the high mountains, each day can alter the shape of the race for yellow and the Tour’s other major jerseys. Here we look at the race's classifications and update them on the daily - including the fight for the yellow jersey.
This live classifications hub is updated after each stage of the 2026 Tour de France with the latest General Classification, Points Classification, Mountains Classification and Best Young Rider standings. As the race develops, it tracks the key movements in the fight for the yellow jersey, green jersey, polka-dot jersey and white jersey.
The General Classification remains the central battle of the Tour, but the wider standings often tell their own stories as the race moves through different terrain. Sprint stages can reshape the points competition, mountain days can transform the polka-dot jersey fight, and the white jersey battle can change quickly when young contenders are tested across repeated days of pressure.
With 21 stages and four major jersey competitions to follow, the Tour de France standings can change through time gaps, bonus seconds, breakaway moves, sprint points, mountain points and decisive race incidents. This page will follow those changes throughout the 2026 Tour de France.

- Norway is having quite the year. Not as remarkable if the reason for yesterday was in preparation for today, still kudos for beating the big expected names.Mistermaumau15-07-2026
- When Froome won 3 in a row and "only" came in 3rd in his 4th, he was similarly just a hint less than his usual self. Maybe Vingegaard did the Giro at a time when he still had the drive to do it. It sure feels like there's a good reason he needs time as a sane human being, away from the sport and with his family. It's similar to what Pogačar says after big wins, "first, recovery and some time away." I respect that mindset immensely.RidesHills15-07-2026
- I'm pretty convinced that they're on something, as well, but what they're on is legal. Bonkers levels of sugar during races. Altitude training. Weird natural drinks to help with recovery. Their own riders say that it's nothing different from any other team (and Pogačar is a genetic freak).RidesHills15-07-2026
- Wow. Can't you do this somewhere else, guys?Hills3315-07-2026

- no for me it's because he's effeminate which is also the reason why his fans, like you, love himwhkman15-07-2026
- Probably because girls sounds more woke and girly, less masculine and macho and so a bit « denigrating « in the eyes of male readers. Aside it being a bad, pointless suggestion it is also quite ironic seeing as it’s way more physical and violent than e.g baseball and that it also isn’t immune to doping. Or maybe it was actually a case of trying to encourage how do they call it, affirmative action?Mistermaumau15-07-2026
- Pogi is a ROCK... Pogi is the KING!!! Now go to a secluded place and cry... cry your heart out.mus-musculuspeedypogigonzales15-07-2026
- So why do you hate Pogi, because he's from Slovenia?mus-musculuspeedypogigonzales15-07-2026
- Can you make an effort to try to understand people who don’t think and react like you, they help kerp the world a more interesting place. Why does having suspicions of doping (hardly conspiracy theory crazy stuff) or critcism of any aspects have to equate with not liking a sport? Can you not accept people enjoy sports for MANY different reasons but not all? Why is it so many people jump to illogical or irrelevant conclusions to attack people saying things they don’t like?Mistermaumau15-07-2026
