The 2026 Tour Auvergne-Rhne-Alpes starts this Sunday, 7 June and concludes on Sunday 14 June. Over eight stages, the race formerly known as the Critrium du Dauphin covers just over 1,200km, with three hilly stages, four mountain stages and a team time trial. It's the classic warm-up race for the Tour de France and last year's top 10 was a who's who of Tour hopefuls. It was won by Tadej Pogaar, with Jonas Vingegaard runner-up and Florian Lipowitz third, precisely their rankings in the 2025 Tour de France. The race is also a good place to spot new bikes and tech ahead of their official launch. As such it's a must-watch for road racing fans, with worldwide coverage options.
