Known by many as a traditional preparation race for the Tour de France, the Critérium du Dauphiné has a very important place in the calendar. Although in recent years some riders are trying alternative forms of preparation for the Tour, for many years this was the go-to race for most general classification contenders as they tested themselves ahead of their great goal of the season.
With the Tour and the national championships soon after, it is still seen as a preparation race in relative terms, however it is one that's highly contested every year as it comes with an immense reputation and features many stages, which give out plenty opportunities for different types of riders.
