Thierry Cazeneuve, longstanding director of Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, dies at 74

Thierry Cazeneuve.

France lost one of its top former race organisers this weekend when it was announced that Thierry Cazeneuve, the longstanding director of the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, died on Saturday.

Under Cazeneuve's 21-year directorship from 1988-2009, the race - first with a name shortened to the Critérium du Dauphiné since 2010 and now renamed the Tour du Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes - consolidated its position as a key build-up event for the Tour de France.
