English term or phrase: Corner

Dans ce contexte de cyclisme:

Champs-Élysées
A Stage Above All Others
Champs-Élysées is pretty tough.
It’s a stage that’s just so hard to get right.
When I first turned professional, my first roommate, he said to me, I think you’re going to be the best sprinter of all time, but I don’t think you’ll win on the Champs-Élysées.
It’s a hard sprint to win.
It’s hard to judge your distance, it’s slightly uphill, it’s on cobbles.
Now I’m the record holder for the amount of stages won there, but it’s actually a really hard sprint to get right.
The finish line from the last corner is just a little bit too far to go from the corner.
I’ve gone from the corner in the past, but I have to be just that much better than everyone.

tournant, virage

Explanation:
In that context, I would use "tournant" even though it is not exactly what "corner" means.
