Three victories in the first three stages: French cycling achieved an unprecedented treble since 1958 on the Critérium du Dauphiné, dress rehearsal before the Tour de France, after the victory of Christophe Laporte on Tuesday June 6 at the Knife (Loire). ” It’s not anecdotal. It makes everyone happy, we see that French cycling is doing well “commented the Jumbo-Visma rider who had already won the first stage. The day before, it was Julian Alaphilippe who had raised his arms on the second stage of this 75th edition. To see three French entry victories in the Dauphiné, excluding the prologue, you have to go back to 1958 and the successes of Francis Pipelin, Camille Le Menn and Jean Lerda.
