Viewed as one of INEOS Grenadiers' big general classification hopes for the future, Carlos Rodriguez continued to show off his immense potential by claiming the Best Young Rider's jersey at the 2023 Critérium du Dauphiné.
"Happy with the way we’ve finished this Critérium du Dauphiné," said the 22-year-old Spaniard in a post-race update to his official Twitter account. "It hasn’t been an easy week for the team or me, but luckily we managed to win team GC and I got the white jersey."
On the final stage of the race, Rodriguez came home in 10th place, just over a minute down on the eventual stage winner, Giulio Ciccone at 1:03. In terms of the GC battle however it was another positive performance for the Spaniard who moved up to 9th overall and claimed the Best Young Rider's jersey by 1:34 from Team DSM's Max Poole.
"Looking forward to what’s coming next," concludes Rodriguez's Twitter post.

- Team sport it is. And UAE losing so many people to covid protocols in ‘22 was a major reason that Pogacar was exposed and Jumbo Visma could play him like they did. Let’s Hope Almeida can make it through the weekend and be able to help in the mountains. And Narvaez? One of the unsung heroes of the team.RidesHills12-07-2025

- Regardless of how strong and how good a temamate he is, he remains a human being and cannot ignore the consequences of a rib fracture. While broken ribs typically heal on their own within a few weeks, engaging in cycling, which involve movement and strain on the ribcage, can hinder the healing process. With a rib fracture João can not help Pogacar anyway. Thus a responsible UAE chief would take João out of the race for João's own sake and safety.Jakob11-07-2025
- He's so strong and such a good teammate. He can bring back almost any attack by just raising the tempo. Hoping he feels better by Monday so he can show his class in the mountains.velodan11-07-2025
- The poor guy has most likely left the Tour if not tomorrow, then within af few days. Yes I have cracked a rib, and it can be as painfull just to bend a rib.Jakob11-07-2025
- Ever crack a rib? It all depends on which one (s)- it can hurt or it can't.
