The first reckoning for the overall contenders of the 2023 Critérium du Dauphiné comes on Wednesday during the stage 4 individual time trial - a challenging 31.1 kilometre test from Cours to Belmont-de-la-Loire.
After three sprint finishes, the majority of the general classification contenders are lying just 23 seconds behind race leader Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma). The Frenchman is not a terrible time trialist but will most likely be surpassed by riders like teammate Jonas Vingegaard.
