The Critérium du Dauphiné beings on Sunday, one of the final events in the run up to the Tour de France, which is just over four weeks away. There are opportunities for sprinters, puncheurs, rouleurs and climbers over the eight days.
There will be an almighty tussle between general classification contenders for the yellow jersey at the end of the race, with defending Tour champion Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) lining up with Dani Martínez (Ineos Grenadiers), Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious) and Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën) among others.
