What Happened

Continental, a tire manufacturer, will serve as an official partner of the 2026 Tour de France, supplying tires for bicycles, support vehicles, and motorcycles. The company will equip six teams with road bike tires and provide over 1,000 bicycle tires, more than 400 tires for support vehicles, and 120 motorcycle tires. The race runs from July 4 to July 26 over 3,333 kilometers.

Teams using Continental tires
  • Groupama-FDJ United
  • UAE Team Emirates – XRG
  • Movistar Team
  • Bahrain Victorious
  • Decathlon CMA CGM AG2R La Mondiale
  • Uno-X Mobility
“The trust placed in us by the six teams is both an honor and an incentive. The Tour is decided by the smallest details: on every stage, in every kind of weather and on every surface. And ultimately, recreational riders benefit as well.”
— Hannah Ferle, Continental product expert for bicycle tires

Continental also supplies tires for support vehicles and escort motorcycles. For the second year, the official escort motorcycles use ContiRoadAttack 4 tires, designed for rapid warm-up and consistent grip in varied conditions.

Why this matters

The partnership highlights how tire technology is critical for safety and performance in elite cycling, and race conditions push tire development that eventually benefits recreational riders.
