PREVIEW | Criterium du Dauphiné 2025 stage 4 - Tour de France prelude as Pogacar, Vingegaard & Evenepoel take part in ITT battle
CyclingWednesday, 11 June 2025 at 10:29
From the 8th to the 15th of June the riders take on the Criterium du Dauphiné. Not only is this race usually the biggest preview ahead of the Tour de France, but it will also have the presence of Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel. We preview stage 4.
17 kilometers of time-trialing will make for the first important overall classification day in the race. It will be a hilly one, with a short but steep ascent halfway through the course that won't have a real descent to it.
All-in-all, a course where you can make differences for sure, and an effort that doesn't suit the pure specialists in the discipline. The climb will be 1.8 kilometers long at 8.5%, which won't ask for a bike change, but where the climbers can certainly make a difference. After the summit things are very straightforward and simple, and the riders will quickly get themselves to the finish.
Stage 4 (ITT): Charmes-sur-Rhone - Saint-Peray, 17.4 kilometers

- why do you think Tadej would have exploded it. with yellow and Remco neutralizing, you really think Tadej would have ridden away solo LOLmij17-07-2025
- what proof do you have of thatmij17-07-2025
- I think Jonas attacks - he has to - to test Tadej post crash.mij17-07-2025
- And we know what Tadej would’ve done if Jonas Vingegaard had gone down — he’d have done exactly the same.” Nope! He would have exploded like a bat out of hell.parisbound0017-07-2025
- Why don’t these narcissists go out and do something useful with their time instead of this kind of useless crap? Like go visit lonely elderly people, help disabled members of society go on days out, clean up their communities, etc. There’s endless actually helpful things they could do but no, do something useless and toxic instead. Bravo.AndrewK17-07-2025
- Good man, Barney. Speaking up for the toxic, infantile people out there. Who needs maturity when you can live at this kind of level?AndrewK17-07-2025
- I’m still waiting for anyone to post a path to seeing what you claim to have seen, especially in light of it not making sense. If J was overtaking left before swerving right, how come Pog’s and bike falls to and have momentum going left when he gets pushed to the right???? Not what other footage shows.Mistermaumau17-07-2025
- Cowardly article, should use the occasion to remind us this is tve guy who criticised Pog last year for attacking during vulnerabilities. The world is a better place with people who don’t tow his line.Mistermaumau17-07-2025

Not sure who will take this stage but Remco is the guy to beat.
Remco is the favorite. Why? He knows he can't outkick the other two on the big climbs, meaning he has to prepare well for the TTs if he wants to leave with a win of some sort.
