Criterium du Dauphiné: Jonas Vingegaard to test Tour de France block with very strong '7'
CyclingSunday, 04 June 2023 at 11:36
The Criterium du Dauphiné is without surprise the most important run-up race for the Tour de France in the peloton, Jumbo-Visma and Jonas Vingegaard are to test their form and block ahead of the biggest goal of the season.
In fact 6 of the 7 riders present are expected to be at the race. Sepp Kuss is not present as he is recovering from a hard Giro d'Italia, but he is replaced by Attila Valter who has been on Vingegaard support for several stage-races already this year. The other man from the '8' missing is Wout van Aert, who will head to the Tour de Suisse in search of stage wins.
The six riders remain will be at the Tour. Jonas Vingegaard comes in as the main favourite for the overall classification but faces tough competition in the mountain stages that lay ahead, supported by Steven Kruijswijk mainly on the large ascents.
Besides van Aert, the classics block which will support the Dane at the Tour is all here. Nathan van Hooydonck, Christophe Laporte, Tiesj Benoot and Dylan van Baarle complete the lineup, and will work towards what will be an important week to prove themselves ahead of the Grand Boucle and stamp their presence - as Wilco Kelderman is currently a reserve for the Tour and should himself be a great card.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
