The start of the Tour de France is just three weeks away. The pros will be putting the finishing touches on their preparation for the "biggest bike race in the world" in one of two upcoming week long stage races.
The Criterium du Dauphine takes place this week in the Central/Eastern regions of France. The racers will cover parts of the Rhone and Savoie regions.
The other option is the Tour de Suise which begins June 9th.
The Dauphine began with a short Prologue Time Trial covering just 5.7 km. This is a short powerful effort with the racers on their limit for slightly less than 7 minutes. Syrah is a great companion to this type of powerful effort.
This week's matchup features a Washington state Syrah battling with a Syrah from the Crozes Hermitage region in the Northern Rhone.
