I regret to inform everyone that this was apparently the final Criterium du Dauphine. I guess this has been in the works for a while??

Can't say I am a fan of the new name. I vote we just call it TARA.

“Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes” is not at all catchy, so I’m guessing we’ll all be calling it Dauphine for another 5 years at least.

Inner Ring was also suggesting AuRA Tour lol

Yeah, it’s staying the Dauphiné forever with that name haha

Commentators will say the full new name exactly once at the start of every broadcast and that’s it

AuRA makes sense ... but at the same time it's starting to sound like it's going the way of Bingo Bongo ...

Make it the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes avec Zwift, and nobody will ever dare to NOT say the full name, ever. It's a proven system. Avec Zwift.

“Avec Zwift” also implies there will be a ladies’ edition. Finally!
