Saint-Vulbas saw it’s last pro-peloton finish in the 2016 Critérium 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.
The people in Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne are more used to large groups of superfit men in licra. The town in the foothills of the Alps saw two Tour de France stage starts in the last decade. 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).
The riders leave the Alps this time and head in the opposite direction. Saint-Vulbas is situated on the west bank of the Rhône.
The first three riders across the line gain time bonuses of 10, 6, and 4 seconds.

I don’t think, that Cavendish with his sharp swing to the left of the road just before the finishing line was the right winner.
