Ethan Hayter is a rider still in search of his limits, and he came no closer to reaching them at the Critérium du Dauphiné

The 23-year-old Ineos Grenadiers rider gave Wout van Aert a run for his money in the sprints and placed an impressive third in the mid-race time trial, but we already knew he had those talents. What we didn’t know was the he can climb mountains.
