History

Lourdes gives the stage a nearby Tour-history anchor. The approved source points to 1948 Lourdes finish context, finish in Lourdes, and Gino Bartali is the rider attached to that sourced result. It is kept as context here, not as a claim that the 2026 finish repeats the exact same endpoint.
