Jonas Vingegaard roared into the first yellow jersey of the 2026 Tour de France after leading his Visma-Lease a Bike team home in the opening team time trial around Barcelona.
He takes an early advantage into a lumpy second stage from Tarragona to Barcelona, leading Filippo Ganna (Netcompany-Ineos) by eight seconds, with reigning Tour champion Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) 12 seconds down in third.
Points were not awarded in the green jersey competition in the opening stage. Instead, the green jersey was handed to the first rider over the line for the fastest team in the first intermediate time check. That meant that Egan Bernal of Netcompany-Ineos will wear green on stage 2 after the British team's fast start.
Similarly, there were no mountains points handed out on the opening day. Race organisers instead awarded the polka dot jersey to the fastest rider over the last 3.7km section, which was Pogačar.
Thanks to his fourth place on the stage, Juan Ayuso (Lidl-Trek) went in to the white jersey on stage one.
Netcompany-Ineos are in the lead of the teams competition, with two riders sitting in the top-10.
