Tour de France pros on Strava: the definitive list of who to follow

Want to be impressed, or just feel wholly inadequate? A surprising number of pro riders are very active on Strava, and are even sharing their rides during the 2019 Tour. Here's a list of every rider on the internet's foremost social fitness app...

It's the first Tour de France rest day at the time of writing, and while the riders take a  brief chill pill we've had some time to take our eyes off the TV to compile a list of every rider with a Strava profile!

6 reasons to use Strava

Some or more active than others, and over the last week we've been able to find out which riders are more occasional Strava users and others who are uploading their data from the race stage-by-stage. We've also picked some of our top recommended follows...  

Team Ineos

They're usually pretty unwilling to share, yet Michal Kwiatkowski is one of the few Ineos riders who is fairly active on Strava, giving us power data with his uploads too. Stage 10 saw Kwiatkowski take plenty of KOMs, riding at an average of 290 watts for the stage.

Interestingly Thibaut Pinot didn't upload his ride from stage 10 when he lost a fair bit of time in the general classification... but worth a follow all the same!

Not much going on at the Astana camp on Strava, although Hugo Houle is giving us all the bells and whistles with power numbers from his rides. Yesterday's jaunt saw him cover stage 10 at 42.5km/h averaging 268 watts.

Success came quickly for CCC at this year’s Tour with Van Avermaet taking the Polka Dot Jersey on stage 1. He’s lost it now and has switched his attention to the rolling stages...

It wasn't just the best stage win of the Tour so far, it's also on Strava for the world to see! Breakaway specialist Thomas De Gendt covered the 204km with almost 4000 metres of elevation at an average speed of 39km/h, with a huge weighted average power of 343 watts for the whole ride.

Nils Politt and Rick Zabel are both worth following, but Alex Dowsett is the most interesting rider here, regularly uploading his power data.

Yoann Offredo isn’t afraid of a day in the break, but he’s been suffering badly after picking up a stomach bug. Head over to the Frenchman’s page and give him some kudos!

The big man Andre Greipel is a regular Strava uploader, and his split between time in the breakaways and near the front on sprint stages makes him a very good rider to keep an eye on. Akrea Samsic are the most prolific Strava users this year, with all riders except for Florian Vachon actively uploading most of their rides from this year's Tour.

Any we've missed? Let us know in the comments and we'll update... 

Arriving at road.cc in 2017 via 220 Triathlon Magazine, Jack dipped his toe in most jobs on the site and over at eBikeTips before being named the new editor of road.cc in 2020, much to his surprise. His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. Creatively replacing it with a Trek 1.2, Jack mostly rides this bike around local cycle paths nowadays, but when he wants to get the racer out and be competitive his preferred events are time trials, sportives, triathlons and pogo sticking - the latter being another long story.
