Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) stamped his authority at the 75th edition of the Critérium du Dauphiné, taking the overall title and two solo stage victories. The Dane claimed the third WorldTour stage race crown of his career - after the Tour de France and Itzulia Basque Country - with the biggest winning margin at the Dauphiné in 20 years.

After grabbing the yellow jersey with a second-place finish in the stage 3 time trial, Vingegaard was able to hold off a sizeable chase group on the 14km run to the finish after taking a flyer on the final climb on stage 7.
