Data & Testing: Building Our Tour de France Team Time Trial Strategy

The 2026 Tour de France starts in Barcelona with a rare opening-stage Team Time Trial—a discipline where every second counts. Since the route was unveiled in October 2025, our riders, performance staff and innovation team have been preparing for this challenge. Using data, testing different race approaches and fine-tuning every detail at training camps and a dedicated TTT simulation camp, the goal was simple: find the fastest strategy to reach the finish. Go behind the scenes to see how data, testing and teamwork shaped our Team Time Trial strategy for the Grand Départ.
