Étape6️⃣🚩Nantua > Crest-Voland 🏁168,2 kms📏 📆9 Juin ⛰️La montagne se présente, avec le col des Aravis comme entrée en matière de ce triptyque Alpin. ⛰️ The mountains introduce themselves, with the Col des Aravis as appetizer, ahead of the Alpine triptych. #Dauphine
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).

- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024
- Ahhh..... you have to understand the "strange" diversity concepts of the BBCslappers6621-12-2024
- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
- If you hold onto then, you blowup in a minute and then you finish 5 minutes down like Ben O'Connorabstractengineer21-12-2024
- Based on what argument?Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Agreed except the length of climbs, pretty sure you can stretch that to about a km unless we’re talking about half a dozen in quick succession.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Lot of contradictory information floating around world cup contenders, someone should do some tidying up.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- A bit much to suggest that Pogacar is better than MvdP on most terrains. The only terrain Pogacar is clearly better is long climbs, on any other terrain they are pretty even except flat cobbles and short and steep climbs (max a few 100 mtrs) where MvdP is clearly better than Pogacar.Velovibes21-12-2024
- The likelihood of RE improving enough at this point to outclass TP or JV is less than zero.verve82521-12-2024
