  1. 2018

    Stage 11 · Albertville → La Rosière

    Won by Geraint Thomas (GBR)

    Bisanne opened a brutal Alpine stage over the Pré and Roselend; Thomas won atop La Rosière and took the yellow jersey he would carry all the way to Paris.

  2. 2016

    Stage 19 · Albertville → Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc

    Won by Romain Bardet (FRA)

    The Montée de Bisanne made its Tour debut on this rain-soaked stage; Bardet attacked on the treacherous descent later in the day to win at Saint-Gervais and climb to second overall.
