Van Garderen: At the Dauphiné the result is secondary
Ahead of the start of the Critérium du Dauphiné, Tejay van Garderen (BMC) has said that, while he wouldn’t pass up an opportunity to take the overall victory, proving himself against his Tour de France rivals is his primary goal.
“The Dauphiné comes at the right time to find the rhythm that I need. I have already seen the stage of Pra Loup and I really like it. If I see the opportunity to attack and win the Dauphiné, I'll go for it, but it is also a race to test the rivals before the Tour, to see where they are, to study them,” van Garderen told the official website.

“The Dauphine is a win-win. It's always a learning experience. In the end, the result is secondary to looking to build the form for July. It is a mental game. At the last two Tour de France that I finished in fifth place I was only 13th in the Dauphiné.”
The Dauphiné is Van Garderen’s first race since Liège-Bastogne-Liège at the end of April.
