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

- I have always found photographers, cameramen, reporters immediately after the finish line to be very dangerous. Multiple crashes have already happened in the pastabstractengineer22-07-2025

- I don't understand what you're trying to say here. It's not his fault he got sick.

- I think at that age, you take anything attractive you can get, you hope you can learn more from the best and you expect you can deal with things until the best retire, then the reality of relational complications catch up with you, you are up against older more experienced strategists and things don’t go as imagined, just ask anyone who’s married, in a relationship or has kids, human interactions are unpredictableMistermaumau22-07-2025
- Can you be more specific, recovery from what, pneumonia? The fatigue of having to perform at a top level more months a year than just about any other known rider? He did pretty well upping this year’s pace to make sure Tadej & Jonas have to ride at record speeds to podium.Mistermaumau22-07-2025
- How do you explain what stupid means to stupid people? It’s like writing instructions for people who can’t read. And don’t tell me there aren’t stupid people, if you don’t know any personally just follow news in any country for one week, the world is FULL. From the guy who got sucked into an MRI machine to the one who sued a train conductor for saying good morning in more than one language, it’s best to set your memory to goldfish level in order to stay calm.Mistermaumau22-07-2025
- Young riders with ambitions of GC glory should not be signing long term contracts in big teams like UAE or Visma.

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.
