Which Cycling Stars are Coming to Singapore?

The 2026 line-up features several high-profile riders.

Isaac del Toro

Isaac del Toro is one of the young riders attracting attention ahead of the Singapore race. Time Out reports that he finished third overall in the 2026 Tour de France and won the White Jersey.

Paul Seixas

French rider Paul Seixas, aged 19, made his Grand Tour debut with a fourth-place overall finish at the 2026 Tour de France. His developing rivalry with del Toro is one of the storylines to watch in Singapore.

Jasper Philipsen

Sprinter Jasper Philipsen is returning to the Singapore Criterium. He finished second in the 2026 Tour de France points classification and also recorded a stage victory in the Alps.

Biniam Girmay

Biniam Girmay will also return to Singapore. He finished third in the 2026 Tour de France points classification, setting up another sprint battle with Philipsen.

New Opening Parade at Singapore Criterium

One of the new attractions for 2026 is an opening parade on November 8.

The parade will take place between the Pro Team Time Trial and Pro Criterium. Partner vehicles will travel around the full circuit, inspired by the publicity caravan tradition associated with the Tour de France.

This gives spectators a pre-race spectacle before the professional cyclists take over the circuit.

À l’Attaque: Amateur Cycling Experience

The À l’Attaque programme returns in 2026, allowing amateur riders to experience racing on the same closed circuit used for the Singapore Criterium.

The programme includes:

• Men’s categories
• Women’s category
• Foldies category
• New Team Time Trial
• 2.45km closed circuit
• Mass-start racing

The official event information says the races begin with a neutral lap before the mass start under the Start/Finish gantry.

Fan Activities and Rider Appearances

The event is not limited to the races. The four headline riders are also scheduled to appear at fan activations.
