The Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (officially rebranded from the Critérium du Dauphiné starting in 2026) is an eight-day UCI WorldTour stage race held each June in southeastern France. Known as the premier "warm-up" for the Tour de France, the event is strategically positioned just weeks before the Grand Boucle, allowing top contenders to test their form on similar Alpine terrain.
