The 2025
Criterium du Dauphiné has a new yellow jersey holder. After
Tadej Pogacar’s surprise win on Stage 1, the Slovenian's time at the top was short-lived. Stage 2 ended in a mass sprint, with Lidl-Trek’s
Jonathan Milan powering to victory and taking over the overall lead.
While Milan’s presence atop the general classification is likely temporary—he isn't targeting the overall—it’s a well-earned reward after a challenging day. The Italian sprinter was distanced on a climb with 55 kilometers to go, but with crucial support from his Lidl-Trek teammates, he managed to rejoin the peloton and finish strong.
Mathieu van der Poel once again featured prominently in the finale, sprinting to third place for the second day in a row. The Dutchman’s consistency keeps him third overall and well-placed heading into the coming stages.
The shifting dynamics of the final sprint also impacted the GC standings.
Jonas Vingegaard slipped from second to fifth, overtaken by Milan, Van der Poel, and
Fred Wright. Meanwhile, Remco Evenepoel fell out of the top 20 in the standings, though he remains within striking distance—still 10 seconds behind Pogačar and six behind Vingegaard.
With early surprises and aggressive racing, the Dauphiné is already shaping up to be a thrilling prelude to the Tour de France.
