Despite the Critérium du Dauphiné's opening stage throwing up an earlier-than-expected general classification test, stage 4's looks set to be the first real face-off between the three Tour de France favourites, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG), Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep). This will be their first such encounter since the final stage of the Tour in Nice almost 12 months ago.
