Place in the time trial this Wednesday, June 7 with a probable takeover of the favorites.
Three stages and three French victories! The start of this Critérium du Dauphiné is perfect for the French riders with the new victory of Christophe Laporte on Tuesday June 6 during a bunch sprint, his second since the start of the week (Alaphilippe having won the 2nd). Yellow jersey, the Jumbo rider could possibly keep his leader’s jersey in the time trial, but could also lose his tunic in favor of his leader and big favorite, Jonas Vingegaard. “I don’t think I can keep the yellow jersey on the clock. I like lap times, but shorter, around fifteen kilometres, maybe 20 at the most, but 30km here is really a long effort. I think it’s going to be complicated, but I’ll try to do it well to honor the shirt.”
This time trial is quite long with 31 kilometers between Cours and Belmont-de-la-Loire. His profile, both rolling and difficult, should favor Rémi Cavagna (Soudal Quick-Step), Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates), Nelson Oliveira (Movistar Team). Among the favorites, we will notably follow David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), Mikel Landa (Bahrain-Victorious), Egan Bernal (INEOS Grenadiers), Richard Carapaz (EF Education Easy-Post), Enric Mas (Movistar Team), Jai Hindley ( BORA-hansgrohe) and especially Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma).
