Jonas Vingegaard warmed up for the defence of his Tour de France crown by winning the 75th Criterium du Dauphine on Sunday, underlining his credentials as one of the favourites for cycling's biggest race, which starts on July 1.

"It's a very big thing for me to win this race, one of the biggest races in the world. So of course I'm very happy to win," said Vingegaard, who recently extended his contract with Jumbo-Visma until 2027.
