Pune woke up to a slightly different kind of morning on January 19, with streets coming alive in preparations for the Pune Grand Tour 2026. With nearly 171 elite riders from 35 countries, competing over five days, on a gruelling 437 km route, the tour kicked off in the afternoon at Goodluck Chowk with Dhol Tasha beats and cheering crowds setting the tone. The course will weave through Pune’s urban hubs, scenic ghats, and historic landmarks, blending speed, endurance, and strategy.
