At Valmeinier 1800, for the third stage this week at the Critérium du Dauphiné, Tadej Pogačar took the win, crossing the line first and dealing another blow in his pre-Tour de France showdown with Jonas Vingegaard.

Following the opening stage win and Friday's demonstration at Combloux, the Slovenian was at it again on Saturday's triple mountain stage, taking off 12km from the finish on the 16km closing climb.
