Tour de France 2026 – Stage 16 (Individual Time Trial 26 km, Evian-les-Bains–Thonon-les-Bains, July 21, 2026): Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) wins the stage

Probability

34%

Stage 16 is a 26 km individual time trial: 9.6 km climb (~4.2% avg) to 800 m, then 7 km descent, 9 km flat to Thonon-les-Bains. Remco Evenepoel is Olympic TT champion (Paris 2024) and two-time Road World Champion in the ITT (2022, 2023) — a profile perfectly suited to his specialty. Tadej Pogačar (GC leader, +2:42 over Vingegaard) is also competitive but likely to manage reserves tactically. Jonas Vingegaard (2nd GC) is solid but slightly behind Evenepoel in pure TT ability. Bookmaker odds imply ~32–36% for Evenepoel, ~33–37% for Pogačar, ~12–16% for Vingegaard as stage winner. The forecast backs Evenepoel as the more specific TT specialist at this distance.

Verdict: Miss

[Vorzeitig entschieden] Remco Evenepoel fährt 2026 für Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe, NICHT für Soudal Quick-Step. Er wechselte vor der Saison 2026 das Team. Ein Sieg von Evenepoel für Soudal Quick-Step ist damit strukturell unmöglich. Quellen: Cyclingnews, mehrere Vorberichte TdF 2026.

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.

Lando Norris sits P4 in the 2026 drivers' championship (171 points); McLaren is P3 in the constructors' championship (287 points).
