#14 Critérium du Dauphiné Preview
No rest for the weary! The dust has barely settled on the Giro and the Dauphiné is already upon us. The Tour's biggest warm-up race will host the return of Roglič, Remco and Landa. Will they jump right back in the swing of things or will the young guns, Ayuso and Rodríguez, capitalize off their lack of racing days?

Wout van Aert will be back for his first race since the Dwars door Vlaanderen crash. And once again, we debate if Ethan Hayter is worth the fantasy gamble.

#10 Romandie Recap and Giro d'Italia Initial Impressions
In part one of our double feature Giro d'Italia preview we recap the results from Romandie and take a cursory glance at the Giro startlist. Although still a provisional startlist, we have a good idea of who will be the main protagonists of the first Grand Tour of the 2024 season. Tadej Pogačar is the favorite for the general classification, but there will be a lot of action across the next month for all jersey classifications and of course, stage wins.
