The greatest cycling feat witnessed at Libourne was probably produced in 1957 by Jacques Anquetil, who served up a masterclass to win a 66-kilometre time trial that started in Bordeaux. Despite having a puncture, the 23-year-old from Normandy defeated his rivals by more than two minutes, three days before securing his first overall victory in Paris. In 2021, Matej Mohorič celebrated a solo victory in Libourne. The following day, Wout van Aert demonstrated his power in the time trial to Saint-Émilion. Two years later, the peloton once again set off from in front of the royal bastide, with Mads Pedersen the victor in Limoges.
