Main Information
FOLLOW AND WATCH THE TDF 2026 WITH SFIDA CYCLING.
Once again, we are pleased to have another great trip to the TDF 2026 edition.
What a “coincidence” that on the 10th Anniversary of SFIDA Cycling, the TDF will have the Grand Depart in Barcelona, the city where Tony was born…hahaha.
For this reason, we have planned a beautiful itinerary, watching the TDF for the three days of the Grand Depart.
We have also included some amazing riding in Andorra and the epic Mont Ventoux.
Expect some amazing riding during this trip; however, keep in mind that on the TDF Live Viewing days, our philosophy is to limit our riding and optimise the “by the road” experience. This way, you can experience the TDF in full, including the spectacular Caravane Publicitaire, which is part of the show!
We have designed the trip using only three hotels during the trip. This makes our logistics simpler, and not having to do big transfers after the TDF Live Viewing days is great.
Don’t hesitate and join us on another amazing SFIDA Cycling trip.

CANCELLATION POLICY:
Adapting to the changes in international change after the COVID-19 pandemic, and in coordination with most of the hotel’s terms and conditions, we are adjusting our cancellation policy accordingly as follows:
120 days before the trip starts – the return of your deposit minus any expenses that we may not be able to reimburse.
90 days before the trip starts – partial refund of the amount of the trip, less the 500 Euros cancellation fee, plus any amount that we can’t recover from Hotels, and other costs that we may have already incurred in the trip preparation.
No amount will be refunded less than 60 days before the trip starts. We will, however, try to credit as much as possible towards a future trip. This depends on the amount that we can get back from the hotels and other costs that we have already incurred in the trip preparation.
We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance as soon as you pay the deposit and buy your international flights.
Make sure your travel insurance covers:
- Refund of the amounts paid in case you need to cancel for any reason.
- Covers the cost of possible damage to your rental bike. Check our T&C for this.
For these reasons, we won’t be holding any spots until the full deposit has been paid.
Hotels are now more strict with how many rooms they are willing to have on hold for groups, so until deposit payments are made, we won’t be able to confirm your spot.
