Race Recap
Jumbo Visma go 1-2 on final stage
Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) took overall victory at the Criterium du Dauphine after breaking off the front on the HC classified Plateau de Solaison - the last climb of the stage - with Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). The duo went clear in the final 5km leaving a reduced group of GC contenders to fight for scraps. Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën) took third on the stage and overall, finishing 15 seconds back.
"It was quite incredible," Vingegaard said. "We had planned to attack and that [Primoz Roglic] should follow me because we wanted to see if we could drop everyone. We succeeded with that so I think we can be very happy and proud of what we did. In the Ardennes classic, I didn’t have the best period but now I’m back at a really high level adnn for sure I’m really happy about it. It’s one of the biggest races in the world. To win a stage and to be second overall is great for me. To be honest, it would be hard to be 1-2 in the Tour because there will be many GC contenders. But we aim to at least have one of us win the Tour."
