The feeling was, that the stage 4 individual time-trial would prove as the first general classification test at the 2024 Criterium du Dauphine and a chance to see the pre-Tour de France level of the likes of Remco Evenepoel and Primoz Roglic. In terms of Evenepoel most notably, things look good.
Powering to the stage win by 17 seconds from Joshua Tarling, Evenepoel has moved into the overall race lead at the Dauphine, sending out a Tour de France warning in the process. For his part, Roglic too showed good legs, finishing third on the stage 39 seconds down of the Soudal - Quick-Step leader and now moves 2nd in the general classification at 33 seconds from Evenepoel.
Matteo Jorgenson has proved the best of Team Visma | Lease a Bike's dual-pronged attack and completes the podium after four stages. Derek Gee meanwhile fought valiantly to defend his Maillot Jaune on the time-trial and as such, has done enough to hold on to 4th place in the general classification, with Movistar Team's Oier Lazkano completing the top-5.
Further down the standings, Bruno Armirail now sits 6th after a solid time-trial effort, Neilson Powless sees a big rise to 7th with Juan Ayuso (8th), Tao Geoghegan Hart (9th) and Carlos Rodriguez (10th) completing the top-10.

- Urska may be less keen on a cafe if keeping it afloat will fall to her, so maybe just a nice dream!Hills3315-11-2026
- Raise thine hand if the money you have made for retirement slips away on poor investments.Most of us will outlive our financial comforts because we don't have the financial acumen to ensure a comfortable lifelong retirement and that is a statistical fact not my opinion.Many millionaires have pissed their money away or had it taken away by so called conniving "financial advisors".The world of wealth is a dangerous place that most of us will never experience nor appreciate.
Brucegel15-11-2026 - You are interested in Pogi for one reason only, you feel like you are somehow related because you share some vague geographical identity. Other than that you have very little interest in cycling as all your posts show, if it can’t be connected to Pogi you have nothing to post. That said, recent activity here shows we are attracting quite a crowd from his region.Jumpyjohn15-11-2026
- From knowing past cycling stars with shops I can only say, think it through. Not only is it mundane after a while but it really doesn’t take you out of the limelight, in the end you’ll be trying to stay away from the place yourself whilst all your fans keep coming for you.Jumpyjohn15-11-2026
- Careful investment? I think he can live very comfortably with zero investments, what does he need more? The world would do well if more people set a target for how much they need or would make them “happy” and then stop worrying about perpetually having to make more.Jumpyjohn15-11-2026
- Yes, Roglic could theoretically have beaten Sepp. Jonas must have had complete confidence that he could come back and win the Vuelta another year. Visma had not allowed Roglic to ride the Tour that year, so his future did not look so bright, despite his narrow Giro win..Hills3315-11-2026
- So far, a good series about riders before my time, even if the text feels AI generated like so much on this site. About the rider, he seems like one of many who are active fan favorites but don’t survive in the stories of cycling, a few decades later - I didn’t really know anything about him and this was a good read, thank you!RidesHills15-11-2026
- A calm, honest documentary, a bit of hagiography but mostly not too much. When he talks about a coffee shop, it aligns with several things in his world - he might want calm, but he does (more than a little bit) have someone near him (his fiancee) who makes sure that things happen the way he expects. Many atheletes have retired only to find out just how much others were taking care of their lives for them. If they work out (I'm old, things happen), I am sure it will take a renegotiation, which is a good thing. I truly enjoyed watching it, seeing him, seeing her, seeing the whole system built around him.RidesHills15-11-2026
- You do? My mother grew up around Bleiburg (Pliberk), across the border in Austria . My grandparents lived close to the train station in Bleiburg, and I spent a lot of the 70s and 80s there. The "Jugo" train of my youth went to Dravograd or Maribor, exotic places (behind the wall) at the time. What a moment that was, the 10 days war of '91 - times sure have changed.RidesHills15-11-2026
