Probability

42%

Stage 20 is the hardest stage of the 2026 Tour with 5,600 m of climbing over Col de la Croix de Fer, Col du Télégraphe, Col du Galibier, Col de Sarenne and finally Alpe d'Huez. Pogačar has secured the GC lead by a wide margin (Polymarket: 94.8% overall winner) and already won Stage 19 (July 24, Gap→Alpe d'Huez). With GC decided, queen stages often go to breakaways – historically the probability alternates between Pogačar attacks (he is known for back-to-back stage wins) and breakaway specialists (cf. Carapaz Stage 18 win). Start 11:20 CEST, finish expected ~16:30 CEST. Without a specific Stage 20 market quote: Pogačar ~42%, breakaway ~58%.

Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team clinches the 2026 Formula 1 Constructors' Championship at the Las Vegas Grand Prix (November 21–22, 2026)

Mercedes leads the constructors' standings with 630 points over Ferrari (504) by a 126-point margin (as of Nov 8, 2026; source: grandepremio.com / skysports.com). According to grandepremio.com, the Las Vegas GP (Nov 20–22) is the earliest possible race for a mathematical title decision: a lead of ≥86 points after the race would clinch the constructors' title early. With four remaining races (Brazil, Las Vegas, Qatar, Abu Dhabi) and this cushion, even a mediocre Las Vegas result suffices. Bookmaker odds imply >85% for Mercedes' 2026 constructors' title.
