The Critérium du Dauphiné road cycling race serves as the preparatory grounds ahead of the Tour de France. The annual race is held in the Dauphiné region in the southeast of France over eight days during the first half of June.
The 77th edition runs from Sunday 8 to Sunday 15 June, covering 1,201.9 km over eight stages—including an individual time trial on stage four.
Defending champion Primož Roglič (Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe) is not in the start list this year, having withdrawn from the Giro d’Italia due to a shoulder injury.
The Critérium du Dauphiné 2025 edition is headlined by recent Tour de France winners Tadej Pogačar (2020, 2021, 2024) and Jonas Vingegaard (2022, 2023). Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel is also among the contenders for the general classification.
