In the Footsteps of Bernard Hinault
As patron of this inaugural edition, Bernard Hinault lends his support to an event that is deeply connected to his own cycling legacy. It was on the legendary Côte de Domancy that he claimed the 1980 UCI Road World Championship title, establishing Sallanches as one of the world's iconic cycling destinations.
