A major cycling region, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes proudly hosts legendary races each year that are essential to the energy and influence of our territory—such as the iconic Critérium du Dauphiné, which crosses several departments of our beautiful region.

Throughout the races held in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, riders will compete over eight days on the demanding roads of our region, showcasing not only their athletic prowess but also our breathtaking landscapes. This event also brings a festive and unforgettable atmosphere to our towns and villages—one that is widely celebrated by the public! Cycling is a sport that represents core values such as dedication, perseverance, and pushing one's limits—values deeply upheld by my predecessor Laurent Wauquiez, and which I wholeheartedly share. Once again this year, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region is proud to be the main partner of this exceptional race. A long-time supporter of this major sporting event in our region, the jersey for the best climber features our regional colors: blue with white polka dots!
