PROS – Critérium du Dauphiné 2023: the route, maps and stage profiles, the climbs, the teams and TV broadcast times for the 75th edition

The 2023 Critérium du Dauphiné starts on Sunday, June 4 from Chambon-sur-Lac, in the Puy-de-Dôme, and finishes on Sunday, June 11 at La Bastille de Grenoble in the Isère. On the program, 1,207 km over 8 stages, including a long time trial of more than 30 km, the highest finish ever seen in the race (Col de La Croix de Fer at 2,067 m) and a spectacular finale on the last day. Indeed, the 8th and final stage has a grueling day in store for the peloton, with six categorized climbs including the Col du Granier (9.6 km at 8.6%) before the Col de Porte (7.4 km at 6.8%) and the final climb of La Bastille (1.8 km at 14.2%, including 500 m at an average of 21.8%). The day before, the riders will also have climbed, besides La Croix de Fer, the Col de la Madeleine and the Col du Mollard. In 2022, the race crowned Slovenian Primoz Roglic ahead of his teammate Jonas Vingegaard, a month and a half before he went on to win the Tour de France. The Dane is at the start this year and will be the big favorite. Also worth watching is Briton Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates), winner of the last Tour de Romandie, Frenchman David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) and why not Australian Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën) or even Colombian Egan Bernal (INEOS Grenadiers). The French two-time world champion (2020 and 2021), Julian Alaphilippe, is also present and his performances are particularly eagerly awaited. To follow the race closely, find all the information on the route, the maps and stage profiles, the climbs, the teams entered and the TV broadcast times for this 75th edition of the Dauphiné.
