The very testing Côte de Cadoudal (1.7km at 6.2%) was the deciding factor when the 1985 Tour’s first yellow jersey was awarded, with Bernard Hinault claiming it thanks to his victory in the prologue, and again in 2008, when Alejandro Valverde showed his strength in the finale. Plumelec has also been the venue for several French championships and holds fond memories for Katarzyna Niewiadoma, who won the European Under-23 Championship here in 2016.
