A stage race is a multi-day event made up of several individual races, or stages. The winner is determined by the lowest cumulative time across all stages.
In endurance cycling, stage races like the Tour de France or Giro d’Italia are major events where athletes compete across diverse terrain over several days. Each stage may feature a different format, including time trials, flat road stages, or mountain climbs. Riders must not only excel in individual stages but also manage their effort strategically to maintain a competitive overall time. Success in a stage race requires endurance, recovery, team tactics, and versatility.
