Saint-Vulbas saw it’s last pro-peloton finish in the 2016 Criterium du Dauphiné. Two riders who retired in 2023 battled it out for the win. Nacer Bouhanni bested Jens Debusschere with a tiny margin, while Sam Bennett sprinted to third place.

On both occassions the riders were up for a day of hardships in the high mountains. The race went to La Toussuirre in 2015 (Romain Bardet win) and to Tignes in 2019 (Egan Bernal win).
