Tadej Pogačar does not win Stage 13 of the 2026 Tour de France (Dole–Belfort, Ballon d'Alsace, 205.8 km, July 17)

Probability

72%

Stage 13 (July 17, Dole–Belfort, 205.8 km) is the longest stage of the 2026 Tour and a classic 'baroudeur's stage': ~150 km of flat racing precedes the Ballon d'Alsace (8.7 km, avg 6.9%, max 8.8%). This profile favors breakaways that UAE Team Emirates will manage rather than chase — especially since Pogačar holds a 2:42 GC lead over Vingegaard (#2) after Stage 9 and has no reason to contest a baroudeur stage. Pogačar targeted the summit finishes of Stages 10, 14, and 15; on a hilly-flat stage without a classic GC summit finish, his winning is considerably less likely. Historical pattern: baroudeur stages with long flat prefaces regularly end in breakaway victories.

World Athletics Ultimate Championship Budapest 2026: Nina Kennedy (AUS) wins the Women's Pole Vault final (11 September 2026)

Nina Kennedy is the reigning Olympic champion (Paris 2024 gold ahead of Katie Moon/USA) and co-world champion Budapest 2023. In July 2026 she already cleared 4.80m at the Diamond League meeting in Budapest – a strong form signal at the same venue. Competition from Katie Moon (USA), Sandi Morris (USA) and Alysha Newman (CAN, Olympic bronze 2024). Aggregated bookmaker odds imply ~35–38% for Kennedy.

World Athletics Ultimate Championship Budapest 2026: Marileidy Paulino (DOM) wins the Women's 400m final (12 September 2026)

Marileidy Paulino won gold in the 400m at the Paris 2024 Olympics and is the reigning Olympic champion. Femke Bol (NED), who long dominated, has switched to the 800m in 2026 (her Budapest 2026 entry confirmed in the 800m), so she does not compete in the 400m flat. This clears the path for Paulino: her next serious rivals would be Natalia Kaczmarek (POL, European champion) or Amber Anning (GBR). Aggregated bookmaker odds imply ~48% for Paulino.
