Remporter le Critérium du Dauphiné lui tenait à coeur et il l'a fait avec la manière ! Véritablement intouchable sur cette 75e édition, Jonas Vingegaard a inscrit son nom au palmarès de la course française ce dimanche à l'issue d'une 8e étape lors de laquelle il a encore montré sa supériorité par rapport aux Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates), Ben O'Connor (AG2R Citroën Team) et autre Jai Hindley (BORA-hansgrohe). S'il n'a pas remporté une troisième étape, la victoire au sommet de la Bastille étant revenue à Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo), le Danois de la Jumbo-Visma repart avec deux victoires d'étape et le classement général, et c'est donc avec une confiance au zénith qu'il devrait prendre le départ du Tour de France dans quelques semaines.
