I was on the ground for the first three stages of the Critérium du Dauphiné last week, and as expected, plenty of things caught my eye at the pre-Tour de France stage race.
From a bold new Factor prototype bike to the hometown send-off given to Romain Bardet at the start of stage 3, and lots of action in between, there was a lot to take in. However, perhaps what stuck with me most was a question posed to Tadej Pogačar about his rival Jonas Vingegaard.
