Slovenian beats rival Jonas Vingegaard into second place
France’s Lenny Martinez wins eighth and final stage
Tadej Pogacar wrapped up the Critérium du Dauphiné on Sunday with a podium finish in the eighth and final stage, which was won by France’s Lenny Martinez.
A winner of three stages in total, the Slovene dominated the 77th edition of the Dauphine to top the overall classification by 59sec ahead of the Dane Jonas Vingegaard – three weeks before the start of his Tour de France title defence.
“It’s been a really amazing week,” Pogacar said. “Once again today, the team did a great job. We managed to defend the [yellow] jersey and we can go home happy and prepare for the Tour.”
