• Primoz Roglic and teammate Jonas Vingegaard pull clear
• Danish rider given stage win and finishes second overall

Primoz Roglic underlined his credentials as one of the favourites for the Tour de France this year by winning the Critérium du Dauphiné. With his Slovenian compatriot and two-times Tour winner Tadej Pogacar absent for this race, Roglic cruised to victory on the back of a dominant showing by Jumbo-Visma on the mountainous stages.

With nobody able to match their pace on the final climb, Roglic and his teammate Jonas Vingegaard crossed the finish line holding hands, the Danish rider taking the stage win and second place overall.
