Since normalizing high-altitude training camps, the Critérium du Dauphiné has been considered the ultimate warm-up race for the Tour de France. This is also the case in 2025, with last year's top three finishers in the Tour de France among the participants. IDLProCycling.com outlines the possible scenarios for you!
Of course, the Dauphiné has a long history. Bernard Hinault, Miguel Indurain, and Lance Armstrong all won it in the years they also won the Tour, and Sky also made it a tradition to use the Dauphiné as a benchmark for the all-important month of July in cycling.
Interesting fact: Tadej Pogacar hasn't won this race yet. The Slovenian rider has only competed once, in 2020. He finished fourth in the GC but won the Tour shortly afterward. Jonas Vingegaard won the race once in 2023. Last year, as in 2022, the victory went to Primoz Roglic, who will not compete this season.

Stage 3, Tuesday, June 10: Brioude - Charantonnay (207.2 km)

Every year, the A.S.O. chooses to give those who like to attack a chance in the Critérium du Dauphiné; this third stage seems to lend itself to that. It goes up and down constantly, especially in the first half of the race, which, combined with its length of 207 kilometers, could be a good day for the baroudeurs.
