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 love JA, but what is he talking about results? he hasn't done anything this year.mij04-07-2025
- and Richard Plugge is so annoying and self righteous.mij04-07-2025
- Richard Plugge is only partly correct. If he looks at the major crash that took out Jonas last year, you could blame the organizers for a bad road. but long before the stage, his team complained about the dangerous corners and roads. so what do they do in the race? the don't back off but instead they push it hard in the dangerous corner. is that the fault of the organizer or the rider?mij04-07-2025
- Win 33% of the stages with 16% of the riders? Big ask, but I recognize that Belgium normally pulls more than their weight; so I'll give Gilbert the benefit of the doubt. But I'm still sceptical of that claim.Ride197404-07-2025
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.
