Like the rest of professional sports throughout the world, cycling has returned to live action after a lengthy hiatus due to the pandemic. The sport also had to sprint their way to a revised schedule for 2020 and crunch as many of their iconic races into a shortened season.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Grand Tours and Monuments, smaller stage races with a prestigious history have also been included into this truncated season like the Criterium du Dauphine. Typically held in late-May, this year\u2019s 72nd<\/sup> edition of the race will be held from August 12th<\/sup> to August 16th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

Not only will this race be the first real test for many of the sport\u2019s top Grand Tour riders, but it will also be loaded with tons of firepower as many of cycling\u2019s biggest names are expected to take the starting line. It\u2019s hard to recall the last time all of the sport\u2019s top riders competed in this race.<\/p>\n

This year, the Criterium du Dauphine takes on an extra importance as it will be a proving ground and preparation for the favorites heading into the 2020 Tour de France which starts in the end of August.<\/p>\n

With that said, cycling betting sites<\/a> have released odds for this five stage race. Let\u2019s strap on our helmets, load up on the carbs and crank out the wattage as we examine these Criterium du Dauphine odds and take that yellow jersey with our predictions.<\/p>\n

The race kicks off with the easiest of the five stages as rider rolls out from Clermont-Ferrand to Saint-Christo-en-Jarez. It\u2019s roughly 181 KM long with seven hills. Yet, nothing higher than a Category 2 climb.<\/p>\n

Stage two is when the real fireworks will kick off as riders will face four categorized climbs with a summit finish on the Col de Porte, which is 17.5 km long and an average gradient of 6.2 percent.<\/p>\n

Stage three will be more of the same as the day before, with the Col de la Madeleine as the toughest climb at 17.3km and an average gradient of 8.3 percent. The stage finishes on a Category 1 climb.<\/p>\n

Stage four is arguably the toughest of all five stages and will definitely determine who\u2019s a real contender for the race win. After riders leave Ugine, they will hit three Category 1 climbs in a row. Eventually, they will take on an HC climb up the Montee de Bisanme and finish the stage on a Cat 2 summit.<\/p>\n

Stage five will start and finish in Megeve and features eight climbs with an HC climb up the Col de Romme.<\/p>\n

There are no sprints or time trials, making this year\u2019s Dauphine truly for the best climbers in cycling.<\/p>\n
