2023 Criterium du Dauphine preview
For eight days, the sleepy Dauphine region of south-east France becomes the cycling centre of the world, as some of the world's finest competitors get their riding muscles in shape for La Grande Boucle next month.
But the Criterium du Dauphine is more than just a training exercise. It's a prestigious event in its own right, and Jumbo-Visma is going all-out for back-to-back wins. Reigning Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard played a supporting act a year ago, helping Primoz Roglic to the title.
However, with Roglic having earned himself a rest by winning the Giro, Vingegaard is Jumbo-Visma's leading man this time out, and his main competition is likely to come from Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates), Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) and David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ).
The race organisers clearly have a twisted sense of humour, having chosen to lure the riders into a false sense of security with four hilly legs and an ITT to begin with, before a triple-header of brutal mountainous stages.
The Col de la Croix de Fer finish on Stage 7 is the highest point of the race, while the peloton has to come through six categorised climbs on the final day.
