Paris-Nice has often paused in Sisteron, most recently in 2024 when Dutchman Olav Kooij was the winner. The Critérium du Dauphiné also visited several times before the Tour de France first came here in 2010 for the start of a stage that went to Bourg-lès-Valence. The Tour returned in 2020 for the finish of a stage that started in Nice and ended with Australia’s Caleb Ewan winning the bunch sprint. The next day, the peloton departed from Sisteron and headed to Orcières-Merlette, where Primož Roglič was the victor.
