Team Sky’s Chris Froome will fine-tune his form for the Tour de France at the Criterium du Dauphine.
The 2014 edition of the race will see Froome, the defending champion, go head-to-head with many of his Tour de France rivals, including Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) and Vincenzo Nibali (Astana), as Team Sky look to make it three wins in a row, following Froome’s triumph in 2013 and Bradley Wiggins’ back-to-back victories in 2011 and 2012.
The race opens on Sunday with a short time trial and then heads for the mountains. You can read our full preview of the route and riders here.
