Predicted for 21. July 2026
·
Based on: Statistical Pattern
The 26.1 km predominantly flat time trial is in Evenepoel's core competency as a three-time UCI ITT world champion (2022–2024). He sits 2nd in GC (+5:00 behind Pogačar) and can go all-out. An existing platform prediction implies Evenepoel beats del Toro by 1:20+ min, consistent with a stage win. Pogačar is also strong in ITTs; aggregated bookmaker odds list both as co-favorites at roughly 35–40% each.
Data basis for this prediction
- TdF GC Standings: Evenepoel +5:00 min, del Toro +5:58 (Cyclingnews, 20.07.2026)

Pogačar leads the GC after Stage 15 by 5:00 over Evenepoel (Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe) and 5:58 over del Toro. Even if Evenepoel, the reigning TT world champion, wins the 26.1 km ITT in Stage 16, closing a 5-minute gap is physically near-impossible (record margins on comparable distances are ~3:30 min). In the Alpine stages 17–20, Pogačar is the dominant climber. Bookmaker odds imply >98% for his third consecutive Tour overall win.

Jackson is the clear favorite: she ran 11.02 seconds at the 2026 Prefontaine Classic and is currently the world's fastest woman over 100m. The strongest challengers are Daryll Neita (ENG, PB 10.90s) and Amy Hunt (ENG, PB 10.97s), neither of whom has won a major international title on this distance. Dina Asher-Smith (ENG) ran only 11.18s in 2026 and is below her best form. Jamaica structurally dominates sprinting. The women's 100m final is scheduled for ca. July 28 (heats July 27).

Following confirmed withdrawal of Olympic champion Keely Hodgkinson (focusing on European Championships and World Championship cycle), Bell as world silver medallist is England's strongest athlete. The main rival is Mary Moraa (Kenya), reigning Commonwealth champion and Paris 2024 bronze medallist. The race is open: Moraa is the more experienced CWG competitor and defending champion; Bell is on an ascending trajectory. Without Hodgkinson, no athlete is clearly dominant. Both athletes are expected in the 1:56–1:58 min range.
