German cycling royalty by blood — son of ex-pro Tobias Steinhauser and nephew of Jan Ullrich — Steinhauser announced himself with a stunning solo Giro stage win in 2024. After illness disrupted his 2025, he has rebounded brilliantly, finishing third overall at Paris-Nice in March 2026. Now comes the family's signature race: his Tour de France debut, where a mountain stage win is, in his words, 'the ultimate dream scenario'.
