Live report recap - Critérium du Dauphiné 2025 Stage 1

Critérium du Dauphiné - Stage 1

Welcome to stage 1 of the 2025 Critérium du Dauphiné. Today’s opener from Domérat sets the tone: flat roads early on, followed by a series of short climbs - including seven categorised efforts. With the final punchy ascent, Côte de Buffon (0.7km at 8%), just over 5km from the line, it’s a day for opportunists. Expect breakaways, polka dot ambitions and maybe even a first glimpse of GC intent
