Critérium du Dauphiné 2019: le squadre e i principali protagonisti annunciati al via
AURILLAC (FRANCIA) – La 71esima edizione del Critérium du Dauphiné, che scatterà da Aurillac il 9 giugno e si concluderà in Svizzera, nella cittadina di Champéry, dopo otto giorni di corsa, si preannuncia avvincente. Un percorso favorevole a uomini come Julien Alaphilippe e Wout van Aert, ma non mancheranno le occasioni per i velocisti come Nacer Bouhanni, André Greipel, Álvaro Hodeg e Sam Bennett.
I passaggi sulle Alpi faranno come al solito da antipasto al prossimo Tour de France. Tra i pretendenti al successo finale ci saranno il tre volte vincitore del Delfinato Chris Froome, Jakob Fuglsang, Romain Bardet, Dan Martin e Richie Porte, oltre a Thibaut Pinot e Nairo Quintana, che a loro volta nutrono importanti ambizioni (foto Presse Sports).
