Critérium du Dauphiné 2019 live TV guide
Eurosport will have live coverage of the 2019 Critérium du Dauphiné, beginning on June 9
The build up to the Tour de France begins in earnest at the start of June with the Critérium du Dauphiné giving the likes of Chris Froome (Ineos), Richie Porte (Trek-Segafredo), Romain Bardet (Ag2r La Mondiale) and Nairo Quintana (Movistar) a chance to test their legs before battling for the maillot jaune the following month.
Stage one gets the climbing underway from the get-go, with riders tackling the Puy Mary before heading onto a lumpy finishing circuit ahead of the finish in Jussac.
The next day, the 180km stage two from Mauriac to Craponne-sur-Arzon will provide a rolling ride through the Auvergne region, with plenty of punchy ascents to split the bunch
Stage three provides a chance for the sprinters to shine before stage four's 26.1km time trial, offering up a near carbon copy of the route for the Tour de France stage 13 time trial in Pau.
After that, another day for the sprinters, before stage six's ascent of the Col de Beaune, followed by a technical descent into Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne.
The 133km stage seven accumulates an elevation gain of 4150 metres,including the slopes of Prapoutel-Les-Sept-Laux, not climbed by the pro peloton since the Tour de France in 1980.
The final stage, on Sunday June 16, will visit many of the towns known to the Critérium du Dauphiné and its riders. However, in a different order, with the climbs of Les Gets and the Col du Corbiernappearing en route to the final in Switzerland’s Champéry.

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.
I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.
Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).
I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
