The last few finishes in Gap have seen breakaways going the distance, as was the case with Matteo Trentin (2019), Rubén Plaza (2015), Rui Costa (2013) and Thor Hushovd (2011). Stages that have started there often headed for Digne and then Briançon, notably in 1953 when Louison Bobet took flight on the Col d’Izoard to claim the Yellow Jersey. More recently, there has been a series of Gap-Alpe d’Huez stages, the last of which, in 2013, featured a spectacular performance by Christophe Riblon. And in 2024, a Gap-Barcelonnette stage finally resulted in a Tour success for Belgian rider Victor Campenaerts.
