The Tour de France is the most renowned Grand Tour in professional cycling, consisting of 21 stages over three weeks. The 2025 edition will commence on July 5 in Lille and conclude on July 27 in Paris. The route includes challenging mountain stages in the Pyrenees and Alps, with summit finishes on Mont Ventoux and Col de la Loze. (theguardian.com)

Historically, strong performances in the Critérium du Dauphiné have been indicative of success in the Tour de France, as both races share similar terrain and competition levels.

Considerations

While a strong performance in the Critérium du Dauphiné can signal good form, it does not guarantee success in the Tour de France. Factors such as team strategies, individual recovery, and unforeseen events can influence outcomes in both races. Additionally, some riders may choose to peak specifically for the Tour de France, using the Dauphiné primarily for training and not aiming for top results.
