Death Race - Bernard Hinault - 1980 World Cycling Championship.
One of the greatest legends of cycling, Bernard Hinault, faced possibly the toughest circuit in the history of the cycling World Championships during the 1980 event in Sallanches, France. Known as "The Badger," Hinault exerted a brutal dominance throughout the race, which consisted of 20 laps with a 2.7-kilometer ascent at an 8.6% average slope, totaling 286 kilometers. Only 15 out of 107 starters finished the race. Spaniard Juan Fernandez, who won the bronze medal, declared it the toughest race of his life.
Hinault's relentless pace and strategy led him to break away early, only to be absorbed back into the peloton. He waited until kilometer 160 to intensify his efforts, with only Italian Gianbattista Baronchelli able to keep up. In the final ascent, Hinault made his decisive move, securing his only World Championship title after a display of power that devastated his rivals. Baronchelli took the silver, while the bronze went to Fernandez, who surpassed Belgian sprinter Roger De Vlaeminck. This race remains legendary for its extreme difficulty and Hinault's unparalleled performance.
