Tour de France 2026 · Stage 1 · Saturday, 4 July 2026 · Team time trialBarcelone → Barcelone

How it was measured

The course comes from ASO's own published geometry, the same data that draws the stage map on letour.fr, not from a route planner joining towns. VeloWorkout measures 19.6 km from Barcelone to Barcelone against the 19.6 km the roadbook prints, and 200 m of climbing against a published 200 m. Elevation is sampled from the Terrarium elevation model and smoothed, so digital-model noise is not counted as climbing.

Waypoint positions agree with ASO's separately published climb positions to a median of 0 m (worst 0 m). The roadbook also marks an uncategorised ramp on this stage (Côte du Stade Olympique de Montjuïc), left out of the climbs list because it carries no mountain classification. Climbing total disputed: ASO 200 m against PCS 167 m.
