1947 saw the first edition of the Dauphiné. Like many bike races it was created to increase sales of local newspaper Dauphiné Libéré. It also coincided with the return of the Tour de France after World War II. Due to its position in the calendar in early June, the Dauphiné has long been considered the premier warm-up race to the Tour. It makes sense for riders to carry their form from one to the other and it should be an ideal spot for the pre-race favourites to test their legs.

Simon Yates joined a special club on Sunday. He not only won the 108th Giro d’Italia, but did so without winning a single stage. It’s something that has happened a few times but for varying reasons, Yates’s case is very different to those who have claimed victory after the initial ‘winner’ has had his title stripped.

Simon Yates played this Giro d’Italia to perfection. He lay in wait, a silent assassin lurking in the shadows, barely raising his head above the parapet. It ultimately kept him out of trouble, and it won him a maiden Giro d’Italia title, a Trofeo Senza Fine for the mantlepiece and a maglia rosa to hang on the wall.
