00:02Hello, Tour de France fans. Let's take a closer look at the weather conditions in Tour de France
00:072026. Rain, agility, trajectories, and temperatures. Let's see how these elements will impact your
00:15races. Rain is making its debut in Tour de France 2026. This important new feature will require you
00:25to adapt your gameplay during races. Weather conditions are dynamic and can change during a
00:31stage. Before each race or stage, weather forecasts are provided in the pre-race menus so that
00:40participants know in advance what the weather will be like. These forecasts are not 100% accurate
00:46and do not rule out the possibility of surprises. If rain is forecast during the stage, it may arrive
00:52in the last 50 kilometers or in the last 10 kilometers. For stage races, such as the Tour
00:58de France, it is possible to consult the weather forecast for the current stage and the next three
01:04days, allowing you to anticipate the stages ahead. The weather is also correlated with the time of
01:10year. Your chances of rain during Paris-Tour or Paris-Nice are much higher than during the Tour
01:16de France. However, be aware that there can still be rainy stages during the Tour de France. In addition
01:24to its visual impact, rain also changes the way you play. Once it starts raining, every turn and descent
01:31becomes dangerous and increases the risk of crashes. To avoid this, change your trajectories and adjust your
01:38braking distances. If you brake too hard or take a risky line, your rider will slide off the rear wheel,
01:45and you will have a certain amount of time to try to catch the bike and avoid a crash.
01:52Whether you're an avid cycling fan or a spectator of the Tour de France, you know that some riders are
01:58more agile than others on the bike. In the rain, a cyclist's agility rating is even more important. On a
02:05descent, a rider like Tom Pitcock, who has an agility rating of A+, will be able to take a
02:11wider line and
02:12have more time to regain control of the bike than a rider like Jay Vine, who has a rating of
02:17D.
02:23Temperatures have also been added to Tour de France 2026. Set before the start of each stage and viewable in
02:29the menus, they influence the outfits worn by the riders. In cold weather, arm warmers and long cycling bibs will
02:37make an appearance. In sunny weather, short jerseys and short cycling bibs will be worn. In My Tour modes and
02:48private multiplayer criterium games, manage the rules as you want and choose the weather conditions as you
02:54see fit. With the weather option, set the probability of rain for your entire race or multiplayer stage. In Tour
03:02de France 2026,
03:04anticipate rain, adapt your braking and trajectories, take risks to make gains on descents, and try to win
03:11your first Tour de France. Join the roads of Tour de France 2026 on June 4th, 2026 on PlayStation 5,
03:20Xbox Series, and PC.
