Critérium du Dauphiné 2024 is the 76th edition of the race, and is being held between June 2 and June 9. It's part of the traditional run-in to the Tour de France, with all eyes carefully studying how the top contenders perform.
The race was created in 1947 by the newspaper Le Dauphiné Libéré, and was known as the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré until 2010. Despite its status as one of the key warmup races for the Tour, relatively few riders have won both races in the same year. Chris Froome won both three times, in 2013, 2015, 2016, while Bernard Hinault did the double in 1979 and 1981.
Last year's race was won by Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), ahead of Adam Yates and Ben O'Connor.
Taking place in the Dauphiné region in the southeast of France, the eight day stage race often favours climbers, and tends to feature a number of Tour de France climbs.
