Caen is gearing up to celebrate its 1000th anniversary in 2025, so it’s fitting that the Tour is hosting a time trial here. The city is also known as ‘The City of a Hundred Bells.’
Back in the ‘50s and ‘60s, the Tour couldn’t stay away from Caen, but it’s been a good 25 years since it last visted the town. In 2000, Oscar Freire took the win by beating yellow jersey holder Tom Boonen in the sprint.
The time trial is definitely tailored for the specialists. Most of the course runs along wide, flat roads. The elevation gain does not exceed 200 metres.
