It’s the first time we get to see the collective winners of the past five Tours, Pogačar and Vingegaard, race since last season’s French Grand Tour. It will be a duel when they get to the mountains, but it was all smiles at the start in Domérat.
The Dauphiné is always one of the most anticipated one-week stage races of the season, as one of the key form-markers for the Tour de France, but it’s even more special in 2025, with all of Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) all taking the start.
Bonjour and welcome to Cyclingnews‘ live coverage of the opening stage of this year’s Critérium du Dauphiné!
