A spectacular coup de force and a message sent less than two weeks before the Tour de France. Among the favorites of the Grande Boucle, Primoz Roglic marked his territory from the first arrival at altitude (1324 meters), this Thursday on the Critérium du Dauphiné. At 700 meters from the finish at the Col de Porte (Isère), the Slovenian from Jumbo-Visma placed a terrible banderilla to take off, win solo and delight the Yellow Jersey. Eight seconds behind, Thibaut Pinot had to settle for 2nd place while Egan Bernal, outgoing winner of the Tour de France, finished 10th. Lonely 2.5 km from the finish, the Colombian concedes ten seconds to Roglic whose spectacular finish is to be relived on video.
On Friday, the third stage leaves from Corenc, very close to Grenoble, to reach Saint-Martin-de-Belleville (Savoie). La Madeleine, one of the great alpine passes classified out of category (17.3 km at 8.3%), precedes the final ascent (14.8 km at 6%).
