July 2026 | The Fourth Edition

The SISU Tour 2026 returns this July for its fourth and most ambitious edition yet, bringing the drama, strategy, and spectacle of the Tour de France into the SISU Racing universe. This year marks a historic milestone: for the first time ever, the SISU Tour features two individual time trials, and the race’s ultimate test—the Queen Stage—ascends the legendary Alpe d’Huez.

Seven stages. Seven days of racing. One yellow jersey dream. From explosive time trials to brutal climbs and a triumphant Paris finale, SISU Tour 2026 is built to reward courage, consistency, and pure grit.

The Stages

Stage 1 – Roule Ma Poule, France (Individual Time Trial)

The race begins against the clock. Roule Ma Poule sets the tone with a fast, technical individual time trial where precision and pacing matter more than raw power. Early gaps will form, nerves will be tested, and the first yellow jersey will be earned—not given.

Stage 2 – Casse-Pattes, France

True to its name, Casse-Pattes is a leg-breaker. Rolling terrain and relentless changes in rhythm create the perfect battlefield for puncheurs and aggressive teams. Expect attacks, splits, and the first real tests of teamwork in the peloton.

Stage 3 – Knights of the Roundabout, France

A stage of chaos and courage. Knights of the Roundabout demands positioning, awareness, and sharp racing instincts. Constant twists and turns make it a tactical chess match, rewarding riders who can fight for wheels and seize opportunities at just the right moment.

Stage 4 – Three Musketeers, France

“All for one, and one for all.” This stage is a celebration of teamwork. Breakaways, counterattacks, and collective strategy will shape the outcome as teams look to protect their leaders—or launch daring ambushes. Cooperation may decide who survives with GC hopes intact.

Stage 5 – Road to Sky, Watopia

The Queen Stage. The legendary Alpe d’Huez makes its SISU Tour debut, delivering a pure climber’s showdown. Switchback after switchback, the road rises and so does the drama. This is where the SISU Tour can be won—or lost—amid suffering, silence, and unforgettable triumph.

Stage 6 – Gentil 8, France (Individual Time Trial)

The second and final individual time trial arrives when fatigue is at its peak. Gentil 8 is a decisive GC test, demanding disciplined pacing and mental toughness. Riders will race not just the clock, but their own exhaustion, as final standings begin to crystallize.

Stage 7 – Champs-Élysées, Paris (5 Laps)

A fitting finale on cycling’s most iconic boulevard. Five fast, furious laps around the Champs-Élysées deliver a spectacular end to the SISU Tour. Sprinters chase glory, GC contenders defend their legacy, and champions are crowned under the Parisian lights.
