Tudor Pro Cycling Confirm Full 2026 Critérium du Dauphiné Seven-Rider Squad — Hirschi 9/2 The Closing Punchy-Stage Outright On A Closing Single-Card Pre-Tour Brief, Storer Carries The Closing Mountain Co-Leadership Card
Tuesday late evening Bern. Twenty-six days from the closing Sunday 7 June Voiron-Voreppe Grand Départ, Tudor Pro Cycling have closed their full 2026 Critérium du Dauphiné seven-rider squad on the cleanest single-most-considered punchy-and-mountain wildcard pre-Tour build the Cancellara-backed Swiss operation have tabled across the closing post-Wright-Latour reset window. Closing squad reads Hirschi, Storer, Voisard, Bernard, Lienhard, Baudin, Warbasse; combined stage-and-jersey probability now reads at 32%.
Hirschi opens at 9/2 outright on the closing single-card punchy-stage reference across the closing Stage 2 Pont-de-Beauvoisin-to-Saint-Bonnet-de-Mure Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes-corridor leg and the closing Stage 5 République-to-Cure-Sapt mountain-puncheur reference. The closing pre-Dauphiné Hirschi build has now closed on the closing twenty-eight-day Flèche Wallonne-recovery window after his closing pre-Mur-de-Huy crash on the closing 22 April Stockeu reference — the Swiss puncheur has cleared all closing medical references with the closing Tudor team doctor confirming a closing zero-impact Dauphiné build at the closing 26 April Saint-Imier altitude-block opening.
“Hirschi opens the closing Dauphiné window on the cleanest pre-Tour punchy-stage form he has carried since his closing 2020 Tour de France stage hat-trick reference,” sport-director Fabian Cancellara confirmed at the closing Tuesday-evening Bern team headquarters media briefing. “A closing wildcard pre-Tour build framed onto a closing single-card punchy-stage outright across Stage 2 and Stage 5 is the closing cleanest pre-July reference we could have tabled at the closing 14:00 squad-confirmation window.”
Storer carries the closing mountain co-leadership card on the closing Stage 7 Combloux-and-Stage-8 Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse double-summit-finish reference, opening at 7/1 on the closing GC outright across the closing eight-stage Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes parcours. The closing Australian climber sits on the cleanest pre-Tour mountain form of his post-Decathlon-CMA-CGM era after a closing fourth on the closing 4 May Tour de Romandie queen stage at Leysin and a closing seventh overall at 2:14 on Pogácar.
Baudin's closing Tour-of-the-Alps third-overall reference activates the closing twin-card protected-mountain frame on the closing Stage 7 Combloux summit-finish brief, with the Frenchman opening at 12/1 on the closing GC outright single-card secondary reference. Voisard carries the closing Stage 4 individual time trial single-card outright at 9/1 on the closing 32.4-kilometre Saint-Vallier-to-Macôn flat-and-rolling Auvergne reference — the closing Swiss TT-specialist's first Dauphiné appearance after a closing third on the closing 2 May Swiss national time trial championships.
Lienhard, Bernard and Warbasse complete the closing seven-rider Dauphiné squad on the closing rouleur-and-domestique reference. Lienhard's closing Stage 1 Voiron-Voreppe opening-day-sprint single-card outright opens at 16/1 on the closing 162-kilometre flat-and-rolling reference, while Bernard and Warbasse carry the closing mountain-domestique brief through the closing Stage 7 and Stage 8 Combloux-and-Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse double-summit reference for the closing Storer-Baudin protected-mountain frame.
The closing pre-Tour Tudor build now compresses onto the closing 7 June Voiron-Voreppe Dauphiné Grand Départ and the closing 4 July Lille Tour de France Grand Départ — the closing 2026 Tour de France wildcard reference for Tudor closes at Hirschi-Storer-Baudin co-leadership on the closing twin-card punchy-and-mountain pre-Lille reference, with the closing Dauphiné window now framing the closing definitive Tour-de-France squad-selection build for the Swiss WorldTeam wildcard.
