Last race for Romain Bardet, the local boy
“After the 2025 Critérium du Dauphiné, Romain Bardet will give up the professional road circuit to devote himself to gravel. This choice, announced in June 2024, gives the big early summer event an additional sentimental dimension, as Bardet is so present in the hearts of French supporters.” Source: mon-sejour-en-montagne.com
