'I suffered quite a bit from the rain' - tenacious Remco Evenepoel retains podium spot at Tour de France despite struggling on stage 14 final ascent

Belgian Remco Evenepoel of Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe is pictured during stage 14 of the 2026 Tour de France cycling race, a stage of 155km from Mulhouse to Le Markstein Fellering, on Saturday 18 July 2026. The 113th edition of the Tour de France starts on Saturday 4 July in Barcelona, Spain, and will finish in Paris, France on the 26th of July.

Rinse and repeat. For the second time in week two of the Tour de France, Remco Evenepoel suffered on the final ascent of the day, only to then regain enough ground to remain firmly in the battle for a top three finish in Paris.

At Le Lioran on stage 10 in the Massif Central, the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe rider had managed to make such a strong comeback after struggling on a third category climb he could even gap his rivals - and that certainly wasn't the case four days later in the Vosges this Saturday.
