"Modern cycling" is how Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) described the circus finale of stage 1 of the Critérium du Dauphiné, with four of cycling's top riders coming to the fore on an expected sprint day to put on a show. 

It was Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) who surprisingly lit things up after the final classified climb en route to Montluçon, attacking away with Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) in his wheel.
