The 106th Giro d'Italia is approaching its conclusion, but in just over a month the 110th edition of the Tour de France will start. Many of the expected protagonists will already want to test themselves against each other at Critérium du Dauphiné, an important preparation race for the Grande Boucle.
The organization of the Critérium du Dauphiné (June 4-11) released its first starting list on Wednesday. There are many big names on this provisional list of participants. For example, Jonas Vingegaard will dot the i's and cross the t's in the Critérium du Dauphiné in the run-up to the Tour. The Danish climber from Jumbo-Visma was already second in the Dauphiné last year, after teammate Primož Roglič, and is the big favorite for the overall victory.
However, Vingegaard will have to fight for it. For example, UAE Emirates is counting on Adam Yates, who already won the Tour de Romandie this year. Bahrain Victorious also has two strong cards with Mikel Landa and Jack Haig. We are also looking forward to Jai Hindley (BORA-hansgrohe), Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën) and David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ).
Other interesting names on the (provisional) start list are Egan Bernal, Daniel Felipe Martínez, Carlos Rodríguez (INEOS Grenadiers), Guillaume Martin (Cofidis), Enric Mas (Movistar), Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost), Giulio Ciccone (Trek- Segafredo) and the young Max Poole (Team DSM).
There are also some top sprinters at the start of the 75th edition of the Critérium du Dauphiné too. The brightest name within this regard appears to be Dylan Groenewegen (Team Jayco AlUla) who will have to compete in the sprints against, among others, Sam Bennett (BORA-hansgrohe), Hugo Hofstetter (Arkéa-Samsic), Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma), Ethan Hayter (INEOS Grenadiers) and Matteo Trentin (UAE Emirates).

- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024
- He needs to finish out his contract and then go hit MTB and Cross/Gravel really hard, that's where his heart is.awp18-11-2024
- Pidcock is starting to sound like Froome now.Sweep18-11-2024
- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
