Five titles. Endless greatness. Congratulations to Tadej Pogačar on his 5th Tour de France title and cementing his place among cycling's all-time greatest. We're proud to ride alongside greatness and celebrate with him his historic win, achieved on Continental tires. History is not written by chance. It’s written stage by stage. 📸: A.S.O/Morgan Bove

Tomorrow, all eyes turn to Paris. 🚴♂️ One stage remains. One final stage medal. One yellow jersey. And one name to be written into le de Tour France history. This year's medal is something truly special: Crafted in partnership with MONNAIE DE PARIS, the oldest mint in the world, its circular shape and sidewall-inspired lines echo the design of a bicycle tire. An engraved map shows all 21 stages, from Barcelona to Paris. At the center is the iconic Tour de France logo, while our logo appears in premium black resin on the signature orange and black ribbon. 🥇 Since 2019, we have presented a medal to every #TourDeFrance stage winner. Over the years, it has become a powerful symbol of the Tour. More than just a sporting prize, it celebrates excellence, determination and the drive to push beyond your limits. Who will stand on the final podium, claim the last stage medal – and pull on the yellow jersey tomorrow? The final stage awaits!

What's the best way to truly understand the spirit of the Tour de France? 🚴 Experience it for yourself and put our tires to the test on the very same roads as the pros. As part of our Tour de France sponsorship, we invited 40 customers to join us for an unforgettable ride: 77 kilometers from Hagetmau to Bordeaux, covering roughly half the distance of stage 7. The demanding route was the perfect proving ground for our Grand Prix 5000 tires and the feedback was unanimous: they deliver exceptional performance, no matter the terrain. Take a look at the highlights and see how our guests became part of the Tour de France story. 🎬

Top 5% worldwide in 2026! That's where we rank in the latest EcoVadis sustainability rating, scoring 84 out of 100 points and earning a gold medal. This recognition reflects the progress we’re making in achieving our sustainability ambitions. What contributed to our score? As part of its assessment, EcoVadis evaluated areas including documented environmental and climate-change-mitigation measures, management systems, reporting standards, sustainability policies and sustainable procurement. They also considered certifications, transparency in sustainability reporting and the implementation of supporting processes. Here are just a few examples of our progress: 🛞 28% of the production materials we purchased in 2025 were renewable or recycled, keeping us on track toward our goal of at least 40% by 2030 🔍 Expanded traceability of raw materials and increased use of certified supply chains ⚡ Around 180,000 metric tons of CO2 eliminated from tire production over the past four years ✔ Complete phase-out of coal and heavy fuel oil at all our tire production sites since early 2026 ➡️And more: https://ow.ly/vkOK50ZoP64

Natural rubber makes up to 20% of a passenger car tire’s and up to 40% of a truck tire’s weight – and for good reason. The molecular structure of natural rubber gives tires unique properties that synthetic alternatives as of today simply cannot replicate. That's why, in modern tire design, natural rubber isn't a legacy material – it's indespensable. With more than 70% of the global natural rubber production being used for tires, our industry depends on this resource like no other. This comes with responsibility: we are committed to sourcing natural rubber transparently and responsibly – protecting forests, biodiversity and the livelihoods of the smallholder farmers who cultivate the Hevea brasiliensis tree in tropical regions.

A Tour de France road bike tire is a bit like a Swiss Army knife: it has to do many things at once – and do them all exceptionally well. But what exactly does that mean? Cyclist Tegan Phillips joined our expert Hannah at our production facility to find out. The answer is more complex than you might think 🚴 Hannah explains what really makes the difference between a good ride and a great one – from what happens when a tire spins up to 750 times per minute to why the contact patch with the road is so critical. Curious? Find out more! 🎬

Wind and sun are about to team up for our tire production in Korbach, Germany. We're building our first company-owned wind farm near our Korbach plant. The construction of three turbines begins in 2026 and around a year and a half later they will join forces with our existing photovoltaic systems. Together they will generate around 55 gigawatt-hours of electricity per year - covering two-thirds of our plant's demand. And whenever wind and sun don't deliver enough, existing infrastructure keeps our production running reliably. The power flows directly into tire production, supplying energy-intensive processes like mixing and extrusion. This means more predictable energy costs through less exposure to volatile energy markets. Beyond Korbach, this project serves as a blueprint: We're continuously assessing other Continental sites worldwide for similar initiatives – to grow our share of renewable energy generated close to where we need it.

Did you know that the contact patch between your tire and the road is roughly the size of a postcard? 📮 Four small patches – that's all that connects your car to the road. And in tough conditions, only about 20% of that area may actually provide grip. In the latest episode of The Continental Tires Garage, our tread design expert Claudia Bauer explains how every groove and sipe is engineered using more than 120 years of expertise, big data and advanced simulation tools – long before the first steel mold is even built. From hand-carved treads in 1904 to today's high-tech designs, this is where art meets science. Find out more: https://ow.ly/yPll50ZlSXY

In tomorrow's episode, our Continental Tires Garage will look more like a creative workshop – with postcards, an antique carving tool and 3D-printed tread samples on the workbench. They’re all part of exploring one of the most underestimated pieces of engineering on your car: the tire tread. Together with our tread design expert Claudia Bauer, we take a closer look at why every groove, sipe and tread block is the result of extensive engineering and testing – and what 120 years of tread design history have taught us along the way. Stay tuned – the new episode drops tomorrow!
