Considérée comme la plus difficile de cette 75e édition, la 8e et dernière étape du Critérium du Dauphiné a tenu toutes ses promesses ce dimanche. Membre d'une échappée dans laquelle on retrouvait notamment les Français Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) et Clément Champoussin (Team Arkéa-Samsic), l'Italien Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo) a résisté au retour des cadors dans la montée finale de la Bastille et a levé les bras à Grenoble ! À nouveau plus fort que ses adversaires dans la dernière difficulté, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) a pris la deuxième place (+ 23") de cette ultime étape et s'offre ainsi le Critérium du Dauphiné 2023 !

00:00 (crowd cheering)
00:02 - Goni, congratulations, what a victory.
00:16 First of all, could you tell us how painful it was
00:20 on the final 100 meters?
00:23 - The last 500 was really, really long.
00:28 But you know, with all the people there,
00:33 it was really nice.
00:35 Also, when I look behind, I saw that I was,
00:39 I mean, I was still in front with some gaps,
00:43 so I just went straight.
00:48 I'm really happy.
00:49 - You've won stages on the Giro d'Italia,
00:51 you wore the yellow jersey on the Tour de France.
00:54 What does it mean to win a stage on the Dauphiné
00:56 to beat the likes of Vingodov, for example?
00:59 - Yeah, I mean, this year, Giro was in my program,
01:03 and then I had a problem just before,
01:07 so I did also 10 days without bike,
01:11 and my condition was not 100%,
01:14 so I started here with the Tour in the head.
01:19 So, but I saw in this week that my condition
01:23 was going always better, better.
01:25 So I'm really happy to close this week with one victory.
01:30 - Tour de France is gonna be just as good?
01:35 - Yeah, yeah, Tour de France now is really close,
01:37 but before I will be married next week,
01:40 so this is a gift for my future wife.
01:45 So now just I go home, I think national,
01:49 and then we go straight for the Tour.
01:52 Congratulations for the stage win and the future wedding.
01:56 Thank you.
