7th Tour of Guangxi 2026 🇨🇳 (2.UWT) ME – Stage 1 – Chongzuo – Chongzuo : 149,4 km
Tour of Guangxi is a UCI WorldTour multi-stage road race across the varied landscapes of southern China, combining flat urban roads, rolling countryside and demanding climbs through the karst hills of Guangxi. The race typically features six stages, with distances varying from shorter circuit races to longer road stages of around 200 km. Most roads are paved and fast, while the hillier sections introduce sustained ascents, often featuring gradients of 5–8% and steeper ramps above 10%. Technical descents, narrow roads and frequent changes of gradient demand careful positioning and precise bike handling. Warm temperatures, high humidity and occasional heavy rain can increase the physical demands and affect road conditions. Breakaways often form early, while the peloton controls the pace on flatter stages before sprint teams organize the chase. Mountain stages can split the field into smaller groups, with climbers and all-rounders gaining opportunities to attack. Finishes range from bunch sprints to uphill battles and reduced-group conclusions.
Paul Magnier (Soudal-QuickStep) made it six victories from the past seven stages of the Tour of Guangxi, powering to the line in Chongzuo on stage 1 of the 2026 edition.
The Frenchman timed his effort perfectly on the opener amid a hectic sprint on wide highway roads, getting the jump on co-favourite for the flat stages, Olav Kooij (Decathlon CMA CGM), whose team had completed the best lead-out.
After Magnier speared past him alongside the barriers, he won with relative ease ahead of Sam Welsford (Netcompany Ineos) and Max Kanter (XDS Astana). With his sixth win, he matched Fernando Gaviria’s record for stage victories at the WorldTour race in Asia.
The French rider, who won on every day except the queen stage 12 months ago, leads the general classification by four seconds from the Australian fast man Welsford.
Fredrik Dversnes (Uno-X Mobility) sits third overall thanks to gaining four seconds at the intermediate sprint from the day’s early breakaway, with Neilson Powless (EF Education-EasyPost) and Patrick Gamper (Jayco AlUla) also getting up the road on Tuesday. They were reeled in just inside 10km to go, ahead of the build-up to the final sprint.
