Which bike brands won the most stages at the 2026 Tour de France? The winners (and losers) revealed

The final tally of stage and jersey wins for the 2026 Tour de France is in, with only nine of the 20 bike brands represented at the Tour sharing the spoils.

Two bike brands mopped up the majority of the stage wins, with 11 between them. Colnago came out on top, as you might expect, and also garnered two of the four overall competitions. 

That left 11 bike brands without a win at the 2026 Tour: Bianchi, BMC, Cube, Lapierre, Look, MMR, Orbea, Pinarello, Scott, Wilier, XDS.

Here’s a run-down of the Tour de France bike brands with stage wins in this year’s edition, ordered by number of wins, with those on one win ordered by the date of the stage.

Brand Number of stage wins
Colnago 6
Specialized 5
Canyon 3
Cannondale 2
Cervélo 1
Trek 1
Van Rysel 1
Ridley 1
Giant 1

Colnago

  • 6 stages (2, 3, 6, 10, 14, 19)
  • Overall and best young rider jerseys

There are no prizes for guessing the brand with the most wins, thanks principally to Tadej Pogačar‘s storming performance on the way to his fifth Tour de France victory. Even the stage of these six that he didn’t win, stage 2, was a gift to Isaac del Toro, with Pog placing second. Del Toro was riding the Colnago V5Rs, while Pogačar stuck to the Y1Rs throughout his 2026 campaign.

More surprising is that before Pogačar slung a leg over his first Colnago back in 2020, no one had won a Tour de France on a Colnago-branded bike despite the brand's storied history stretching back to 1954.

Specialized

  • 5 stages (7, 8, 12, 15, 16)

The new S-Works Tarmac SL 9 had a good start to its racing career, racking up four wins (the fifth being Remco Evenepoel’s time-trial victory on an updated Shiv).

Having two teams on its bikes helped Specialized up its win quotient, with Tim Merlier winning three sprint stages and Evenepoel adding the stage to the Plateau de Solaison to his TT win.

Canyon

  • 3 stages (9, 17, 21)

Another brand with two teams on its bikes, but Canyon’s wins with the latest Aeroad CFR came thanks solely to Alpecin-Premier Tech. Mathieu van der Poel delivered on stage 9 and, by a hair’s breadth, on stage 21; Jasper Philipsen took the honours on stage 17, an unusually low tally for the sprinter.

Cannondale

Richard Carapaz shone in the mountains in the final week of the Tour. A.S.O./Thomas Maheux
  • 2 stages (18, 20)
  • KOM jersey

Cannondale has Richard Carapaz’s final-week burst to thank for its two stage wins, as well as capturing the King of the Mountains jersey overall on his SuperSix EVO.

In fact, as soon as the roads reared up, Carapaz was in his zone, with a lowest 12th place on any summit finish and a dogged fight against Valentin Paret-Peintre for points on the intermediate summits enabling him to take the KOM lead off Pogačar on stage 19.

Cervélo

A run of bad luck saw Sepp Kuss miss out on a stage win on the final two mountain stages. A.S.O./Thomas Maheux
  • 1 stage (1)

Cervélo won the first-stage team time trial, thanks to Jonas Vingegaard’s climbing skills, but then had a Tour bereft of further stage wins.

Sepp Kuss came close to delivering a win on his Cervélo S5 on the two Alpe d’Huez stages, but was overhauled on both, placing fourth on stage 19 and missing out to Carapaz due to his two crashes on stage 20.

Trek

Mads Pedersen's pursuit of intermediate sprint points secured him the green jersey. A.S.O./Thomas Maheux
  • 1 stage (4)
  • Team classification

Mads Pedersen delivered Lidl-Trek’s sole stage victory from the breakaway on stage 4. But he continued to mop up points on his Madone SLR 9 in the intermediate sprints, eventually securing a healthy lead in the classification over Philipsen.

The team was well-placed in the mountains too, with Mattias Skjelmose and Juan Ayuso both finishing well in the final week and helping to secure the team classification, with a 37-minute advantage over UAE Team Emirates-XRG.

  • 1 stage (5)

Van Rysel’s stage victory came from Olav Kooij’s sprint victory on the RCR-F on stage 5, notwithstanding Paul Seixas’ fourth place overall, second in the young rider competition and oversized media presence throughout the Tour, and an unlaunched new bike lurking in the background. 

Decathlon CMA CGM made a valiant attempt to pull back van der Poel on stage 21 too, with Kooij placing fifth in the sprint.

Ridley

  • 1 stage (11)

Uno-X Mobility had a pretty good Tour. The team’s one stage win came from Søren Wærenskjold, but Torstein Træen also led the Tour on stages 4 and 5, riding a yellow Noah Fast 3.0, before crashing on the Tourmalet on stage 6. Team leader Tobias Johannessen climbed well too, principally on Ridley’s prototype bike, and finished 12th overall. 

Giant

  • 1 stage (13)

Another rider showing excellent form in the mountains was Jayco-AlUla’s Mauro Schmid. He scored one stage win on his Giant Propel Advanced SL, on stage 13 from Dole to Belfort, but also came close to another, placing second on stages 17 and 18. 

Schmid turned out to be the team’s star performer, with team leader Ben O’Connor blaming fatigue from riding the Giro in May for a Tour that saw him place 28th overall and never achieve a top-10 stage placing.
