Weather: At Superdévoluy at 1:25 PM it is 18C (64F) and cloudy, with the wind from the west at 35 km/hr (22mph). No rain is forecast.

The Race: 150 riders rolled off at 10:51 AM. The three non-starters: Tomasz Marczynski (Lotto-Soudal), Enrico Gasparotto and Björn Thurau (both Wanty-Groupe Gobert). Gasparotto and Thurau were yanked from the race by their team because they tested for low cortisol levels. At the feed zone several more riders withdrew.

Here's the organiser's explanation of the day's racing:

Great-Britain's Stephen Cummings claimed his first ever stage victory at the Critérium du Dauphiné thanks to a 60-km long solo breakaway while his compatriot Chris Froome sealed his third overall win in the Alpine French race after 2013 and 2015 - the two years he also won the Tour de France. In a final rush, Romain Bardet and Dan Martin managed to move up to second and third overall respectively.

150 riders at the start. Oliver Naesen (IAM Cycling) was the first unsuccessful attacker. After many skirmishes, some of them highlighting the ambitions of stage 6 winner Thibaut Pinot to double up or defend his polka dot jersey, 19 riders managed to go in the second climb of the day, the côte des Terrasses, after 31km of racing: Robert Kiserlovski (Tinkoff), Jérémy Roy (FDJ), Alexey Lutsenko (Astana), Ben Gastauer (AG2R-La Mondiale), Daryl Impey (Orica-GreenEdge), Jurgen Van den Broeck (Katusha), Tony Gallopin and Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), Stephen Cummings and Daniel Teklehaimanot (Dimension Data), Ryder Hesjedal (Trek-Segafredo), Nelson Oliveira (Movistar), Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), Jack Bauer and Tom-Jelte Slagter (Cannondale), Jérôme Coppel (IAM Cycling), Bartosz Huzarski and Paul Voss (Bora-Argon 18) and Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida). It became a front group of 20 men with the addition of neo pro Guillaume Martin (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) who bridged the gap by himself.

The time difference reached three minutes with 100km to go. It didn't please Etixx-Quick Step. The Belgian squad took over from Team Sky at the head of the peloton to divide the deficit by two in the region of fifteen kilometers. Cummings rode away solo with 60km to go as he approached the ascent to the first category col de Moissière. He impressively increased his lead over the nine riders who gathered behind him: Kiserlovski, Lutsenko, Van den Broeck, Gallopin, Teklehaimanot, Bauer, Voss, G. Martin, Gallopin and Grmay. The 35 year old Englishman started climbing to col du Noyer with more than five minutes of an advantage over the peloton led by Etixx-Quick Step.

At half way into the ascent to col du Noyer, Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) attacked twice and forced Chris Froome (Sky) to react. Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) and Richie Porte (BMC) accompanied the two stars of the race. 12 riders including the first nine in the overall ranking gathered behind Cummings who claimed a worthy solo victory. Dan Martin (Etixx-Quick Step) was the fastest of them all at Superdévoluy ahead of Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale). The final rush allowed them to take Porte out of the podium as Bardet and Martin accompanied Froome on stage in that order.

The Race: 158 riders signed on today. Dominic Nerz (Bora-Argon 18) did not start. The peloton rolled off at 1:10 PM. Early in the stage Igor Anton (Dimension Data) quit, probably exhausted after finishing the Giro.

Here's the organiser's stage summary.

Great show by the French climbers on the queen stage of the 68th Critérium du Dauphiné. Thibaut Pinot outsprinted Romain Bardet in Méribel after cresting the grueling col de la Madeleine in first position but Chris Froome limited the losses to retain the yellow-blue jersey by a margin of 21 seconds over Richie Porte and Bardet.

158 riders took the start of stage 6 at La Rochette. One non-starter: Dominik Nerz (Bora-Argon 18). His team-mate Cesare Benedetti was the first attacker of the day. He also took part in the first significant breakaway that was formed at the beginning of the ascent to the col de Champ-Laurent (cat. 1) after 9km following an attack by Robert Kiserlovski (Tinkoff).

24 riders initially made the move. Bryan Nauleau (Direct Energie) came across and later got dropped and replaced by Andriy Grivko (Astana). Jan Bakelants (AG2R-La Mondiale) and Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana) also bridged the gap in the ascent to the col du Grand Cucheron to complete a 27-man leading group after 22km of racing: Ben Hermans (BMC), Kiserlovski and Roman Kreuziger (Tinkoff), Thibaut Pinot and Jérémy Roy (FDJ), Laurens De Plus and Tony Martin (Etixx-Quick Step), Grivko and Sanchez (Astana), Bakelants, Mikaël Chérel and Ben Gastauer (AG2R-La Mondiale), Daryl Impey (Orica-GreenEdge), Jurgen Van den Broeck (Katusha), Tony Gallopin and Louis Vervaeke (Lotto-Soudal), Serge Pauwels and Daniel Teklehaimanot (Dimension Data), Marc Soler (Movistar), Thomas Voeckler, Perrig Quémeneur and Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), George Bennett (LottoNL-Jumbo), Marco Minnaard (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Cesare Benedetti and Patrick Konrad (Bora-Argon 18), Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida). The peloton was timed 2.50 behind at the top of the Grand Cucheron (km 24). 27.4km were covered in the first hour of racing.

At the foot of the col de la Madeleine, Alberto Contador and Jesper Hansen (Tinkoff) attacked together with Fabio Aru (Astana), Joaquim Rodriguez (Katusha), Dayer Quintana (Movistar) and Björn Thurau (Wanty-Groupe Gobert). They were eventually reeled in and Contador accelerated again less than 2km before the summit where Pinot took the first position of the only hors-category climb of the 68th Critérium du Dauphiné but he was quickly distanced by Chérel and Vervaeke in the descent. Froome and Contador crested la Madeleine together, 1.22 behind Pinot. In the downhill, Aru and Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) made it across to Pinot's group. After Chérel, Vervaeke and Pauwels formed a leading trio for a while, 19 riders gathered at the front to start climbing the Montée des Frasses. Pinot was first again at the top.

Ten riders reached the final hill to Méribel at the front with an advantage of almost three minutes over the main peloton led by Team Sky: Hermans, Kiserlovski, Kreuziger, Pinot, De Plus, Bardet, Chérel, Bakelants, Van den Broeck and Bennett. Bardet attacked with 10km to go. Pinot rejoined him to form a leading duo 8km before the finishing line. Bardet attacked his compatriot with 3km to go but didn't manage to drop him off. As a result of that move, Pinot let his rival do most of the work, which possibly deprived Bardet of the yellow-blue jersey saved by Chris Froome for 21 seconds. France hadn't made a 1-2 at the Dauphiné since Nicolas Vogondy preceded Romain Sicard in Risoul in 2010. Pinot's first ever win at the Dauphiné is his fifth of the year after two stages and GC at the Critérium International and the time trial of the Tour de Romandie.

Km 140.0: Vaujay, 6.4 km @ 6.5% - cat 2

Weather: At the finish city of Vaujany, 2:05 PM local time. 17C (62F), sunny, wind from the south at 18 km/hr (11mph). A potential for light rain throughout the day.

The race: 167 riders started at 1:33 PM. There were several non-starters: Alexis Gougeard (AG2R-La Mondiale), Christophe Laporte (Cofidis), Niccolo Bonifazio (Trek-Segafredo) and Chad Haga (Giant-Alpecin). Ruben Fernandez (Movistar) crashed while the race was still in the neutralized zone and also pulled out of the race.

Here's the organiser's explanation of the day's racing:

Unlike last year, Chris Froome didn't wait for the last day to move into the lead of the general classification. He took power at the first uphill finish in Vaujany where he outsprinted his former lieutenant Richie Porte while Alberto Contador wasn't able to follow them when the defending champion attacked with 2.6km to go.

167 riders took the start of stage 5 at La Ravoire. Four non-starters: Alexis Gougeard (AG2R-La Mondiale), Christophe Laporte (Cofidis), Niccolo Bonifazio (Trek-Segafredo) and Chad Haga (Giant-Alpecin). Ruben Fernandez (Movistar) pulled out after crashing in the neutral zone. Ethiopia's Tsgabu Grmay showed his ambitions for the King of the Mountains classification as early as the first climb of the day, the côte de la Chapelle-Blanche (km 16). After the côte d'Arvillard (km 23), he rejoined Frenchmen Thomas Voeckler and Alexis Vuillermoz at the front.

Eventually, a front group of 25 riders was formed at km 38, in the ascent to col du Barioz: Wouter Poels (Sky), Greg van Avermaet (BMC), Robert Kiserlovski and Roman Kreuziger (Tinkoff), Steve Morabito and Sébastien Reichenbach (FDJ), Andriy Grivko and Paolo Tiralongo (Astana), Jan Bakelants, Cyril Gautier and Vuillermoz (AG2R-La Mondiale), Jens Keukeleire (Orica-GreenEdge), Tomasz Marcynski (Lotto-Soudal), Edvald Boasson Hagen, Stephen Cummings and Daniel Teklehaimanot (Dimension Data), Ryder Hesjedal (Trek-Segafredo), Antonio Pedredo (Movistar), Voeckler (Direct Energie), Tom-Jelte Slager (Cannondale), Jérôme Coppel (IAM Cycling), Björn Thurau (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Paul Voss (Bora-Argon 18), Grmay and Luka Pibernik (Lampre-Merida).

Teklehaimanot crested the first category col du Barioz and the second category col des Ayes in first position. He virtually moved into the lead of the King of the Mountains competition that he won last year. However, the peloton led by Tinkoff kept the front group within one minute. Grivko rode away at half way into the race while his former breakaway companions were brought back by the peloton at km 72. Dayer Quintana (Movistar), Enrico Gasparotto (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Bartosz Huzarski (Bora-Argon 18) and Gautier bridged the gap to Grivko at km 83 to make it a leading quintet. A maximum advantage of 2.40 was recorded with 50km to go.

Gasparotto attacked at the front with 6km to go, initially followed by Quintana, but after FDJ had drastically reduced the gap, Mikel Landa (Sky) was the first rider from the peloton to catch the Italian escapee with 3.5km to go. It was the platform for Chris Froome to take action. The defending champion of the Critérium du Dauphiné attacked with 2.6km to go. Only Richie Porte (BMC) managed to come across to him while Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) couldn't respond. Froome sprinted from far out in the final uphill stretch to move into the lead with an advantage of 7 seconds over Porte, 27 seconds over Contador, 37 seconds over Dan Martin and 42 seconds over Julian Alaphilippe who retained the white jersey of best young rider.

Edvald Boasson Hagen

Edvald Boasson Hagen wins Dauphiné stage 4

Rated ascents:

Km 27.5: Côte d'Hauterives, 2.1 km @ 5.2% - cat 4
Km 93.5: Côte de la Chapelle-de-la-Tour, 1.8 km @ 5% - cat 4

The Race: 171 riders rolled off at 12:48 PM. Damian Howson (Orica-GreenEdge) was the only non-starter.

Here's the organiser's stage summary:

Edvald Boasson Hagen claimed his fourth stage win at the Critérium du Dauphiné since 2010 as he outsprinted Frenchmen Julian Alaphilippe and Nacer Bouhanni in the slightly uphill finish at Belley. The Norwegian national champion therefore equaled the number of victories of his compatriot Thor Hushovd who imposed himself once a year from 2003 to 2006. Alberto Contador retained the yellow-blue jersey ahead of three mountainous conclusive stages.

171 riders started stage 4 in Tain-l'Hermitage. One non-starter: Damien Howson who completed the Giro d'Italia at the service of Esteban Chaves (2nd) last week. Three riders took off after one kilometer of racing: Maxime Bouet (Etixx-Quick Step), Bryan Nauleau (Direct Energie) and Frederik Veuchelen (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) who initiated the move. There was absolutely no reaction from the peloton so the advantage of the leading trio was 5.15 as early as at km 13. Obviously, Bouet was motivated by the idea of winning in Belley, which is his native town. The speed of all the riders was pretty slow due to head wind but Cofidis quickly indicated that they wouldn't let the escapees too far ahead. The French team of green jersey wearer Nacer Bouhanni coordinated their efforts with Tinkoff to stabilize the time gap around 4.15 at km 50.

Three teams wearing different red jerseys gathered at the head of the peloton to bring the breakaway back slowly but surely: Katusha, Cofidis and Lotto-Soudal with Angel Vicioso, Rudy Molard and Gert Dockx respectively pulling for their sprinters Alexander Kristoff, Nacer Bouhanni and Jens Debusschere. Bora-Argon 18 who also had ambitions for Sam Bennett sent Cesare Benedetti to up the tempo in the last thirty kilometers while Bouet, Nauleau and Veuchelen felt the threat with only 1.30 lead at the beginning of the 32km loop around Belley after a first passage on the finishing line.

Bouet rode away solo 14km before the end. He forged on with 30 seconds lead for a while but he was reeled in with 4km to go after staying away for 172km. Edvald Boasson Hagen rode on the outside in the inevitable bunch sprint. He took the advantage over Greg van Avermaet who was on his right hand side and resisted to the final rush of fast Frenchmen Julian Alaphilippe and Nacer Bouhanni. Boasson Hagen previously won stage 7 to Sallanches in 2010, stage 12 to La Clayette in 2012 and stage 3 to Tarare in 2013 at the Critérium du Dauphiné.

Km 166.5: Côte de Sécheras, 2.9 km @ 8.2% - cat. 2

The Race: Here is the organiser's stage summary:

Ahead of his first participation to the Tour de France, Italian climber Fabio Aru resisted to the return of the sprinters to claim his first ever stage victory at the Critérium du Dauphiné after going clear off the peloton in the côte de Sécheras with 22km to go. It was a beautiful solo ride in the Rhône valley by the Italian climber who has plenty more to offer on French roads.

172 riders started stage 3 in Boën-sur-Lignon after Yuriy Trofimov (Tinkoff), Mitch Docker (Orica-GreenEdge) and Steven Lammertink (LottoNL-Jumbo) didn't sign in. Dutch national champion Niki Terpstra (Etixx-Quick Step), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) and Dimitri Claeys (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) rode away from the peloton right after the start. It took them twenty kilometers to get the green light but eventually the bunch stopped chasing them down, so they could increase their lead to six minutes at km 25. With the help of a nice tailwind, they covered 46 kilometres in the first hour of racing.

It was unclear whether or not the profile of the race would suit the sprinters but after a first indication by Team Giant-Alpecin about their ambitions for John Degenkolb, Katusha and Cofidis successively gathered at the head of the peloton at km 69 to decrease the deficit. As the race hit some hills after covering 100 kilometres, the time gap was reduced to 2.20. At km 109, Cyril Gautier (AG2R-La Mondiale) and Perrig Quémeneur (Direct Energie) rode away from the pack. 11 kilometres further, they came across to the leading trio to form a front group of five riders with an advantage of 1.30 over the peloton.

Terpstra rode fast in the 40-km long descent of col du Rouvey. Quémeneur couldn't hold the pace. Terpstra, De Gendt, Claeys and Gautier maintained a lead of one minute with 38km to go. It was all together again with 26km to go, only three kilometers before the bottom of the Côte de Sécheras. Tony Martin (Etixx-Quick Step) rode away solo in the côte de Sécheras.

Eight riders bridged the gap: Fabio Aru and Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana), Pierre Rolland (Cannondale), Adam Yates (Orica-GreenEdge), Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida), Bart De Clercq (Lotto-Soudal), Mikel Landa (Sky) and Steve Morabito (FDJ). Aru forged on by himself with 12km to go. It was a great show by one of the favourites of the Dauphiné trying to avenge himself after losing 1.27 from Alberto Contador in the first three days of racing. He stayed ten seconds ahead of the chasing peloton that split when Contador changed bike with a team-mate after a mechanical.

The peloton was right behind him under the flamme rouge but the winner of the 2015 Vuelta a Espana resisted to return of the pack led by Alexander Kristoff on the finishing line. What a win by the lanky Italian climber! Contador made his way back to the bunch to retain the yellow-blue jersey.

The Race: All 176 riders who finished stage one rolled off today at 12:52 PM.

Here's is the organiser's stage summary:

Jesus Herrada of Movistar impressed by outsprinting his rivals uphill at Chalmazel-Jeansagnière as the main peloton caught the breakaway riders right at the end. Suspense was high but Alberto Contador kept the yellow-blue jersey despite Team Sky and BMC's attempts to put him in difficulty.

176 riders started stage 2 of the 68th Critérium du Dauphiné in Crêches-sur-Saône. Last year's King of the Mountains Daniel Teklehaimanot (Dimension Data) initiated a six-man breakaway at km 9 with Alexis Gougeard (AG2R-La Mondiale), Lilian Calmejane (Direct Energie), Jack Bauer (Cannondale) and Bartosz Huzarski (Bora-Argon 18). Alexey Lutsenko (Astana) was originally part of the group but he couldn't hold the pace in the col de Durbize where Teklehaimanot started his new campaign for the polka dot jersey. The leading quintet got an advantage of 3.45 at km 46 at the start of the ascent to the category 2 col de la Croix Nicelle where Teklehaimanot crested in first position and scored five more KOM points.

For a long time, Tinkoff and Team Sky didn't allow the breakaway to be more than three minutes ahead. Only passed the km 100, Gougeard and Co felt the hope of racing for the stage victory as their advantage reached five minutes. But Etixx-Quick Step appeared at the head of the peloton with 32km to go. The Belgian squad brought the gap down before the decisive climb of Saint-Georges-en-Couzan. With 19km to go, Huzarski accelerated, followed by Gougeard who continued by himself with 17km remaining. The Frenchman was eventually rejoined by Huzarski, Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Fabrice Jeandesbosz (Direct Energie) and Serge Pauwels (Dimension Data) 8km before the end.

Gallopin, Jeandesbosz and Pauwels were only ten seconds ahead of two chasers, Dani Navarro (Cofidis) and Sergio Henao (Sky) with two kilometers to go while the peloton led by BMC was at twenty seconds. The peloton came across to the leaders in the last 200 metres after AG2R-La Mondiale's Romain Bardet and Alexis Vuillermoz crashed uphill and lost time (43 seconds for Bardet) since the rule of the last 3km didn't apply for this stage. Dani Moreno led the charge for Movistar and Jesus Herrada concluded to move up to fifth overall while Alberto Contador retained the overall lead for the third consecutive day.

The Race: All 176 riders who completed the prologue started stage 1 at 12:45 PM. At the start city of Cluses there were some clouds, Temperature 22C (72F), wind from the west at 14 kph (9 mph). Possibility of rain around 5PM

Here's the organiser's summary of the stage's events:

Nacer Bouhanni of Cofidis added a fourth World Tour victory to his account as he claimed stage 1 in the Critérium du Dauphiné after he found success at Paris-Nice and the Volta Catalunya earlier this year. The Frenchman outsprinted Ireland's Sam Bennett and Belgium's Jens Debusschere in Saint-Vulbas while Alberto Contador retained the yellow-blue jersey.

Frederik Backaert of wild-card team Wanty-Groupe Gobert was first to go clear off the peloton, right from the gun. He was rejoined at km 6 by Australia's Mitchell Docker of Orica-GreenEdge on his come-back race after the horrendous crash that left him with broken cheekbone, nose and teeth in the Arenberg Forest during Paris-Roubaix almost two months ago. The leading duo enjoyed a maximum advantage of 5.25 after 30km of racing. Backaert crested the successive category 4 climbs in first position but that wasn't enough to threaten Alberto Contador's lead in the King of the Mountain competition following his significant victory in the uphill prologue from Les Gets to the Mont Chéry, which was a first category climb.

Before half way into stage 1, Cofidis and Katusha took over from Tinkoff to set the pace of the peloton as they had the common goal of preparing for a bunch gallop for Nacer Bouhanni and Alexander Kristoff respectively. Most of the work was made at the head of the main group by Bouhanni's team-mate Rudy Molard who was often closely followed by John Degenkolb's helpers from Giant-Alpecin. Katusha's Angel Vicioso was often the other pacer. The time gap was down to 2.30 with 40km to go.

Backaert forged on by himself with 24km to go as Docker gave up. His advantage was down to 1.10 with 20km to go. The Belgian was reeled in with 13km remaining into stage 1. Team Sky took Chris Froome to the front of the peloton with 2km to go but the fight between Katusha and Cofidis continued until Nacer Bouhanni found his way to victory as he passed Sam Bennett of Bora-Argon 18 in the last 100 metres. A boxer himself during the off season, the Frenchman dedicated his triumph to the late Mohammad Ali with a specific gesture as he crossed the finishing line.

Rated ascent: Les Gets, 3.9 km @ 9.7%, Cat 1

The Race: Here's the organiser's stage summary.

The 4km uphill time trial from Les Gets to Mont Chéry gave Alberto Contador the opportunity to win the inaugural stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné for the first time in his career on a steep course that suited the climbers. Richie Porte, second, and Chris Froome, third, joined the Spaniard on the podium.

Several teams opted for an early start for their captain according to the weather forecast, therefore Louis Meintjes (Lampre-Merida) was the first man in the lead (12.30). He was rapidly dethroned by Adam Yates (Orica-GreenEdge) who climbed the 4km to the Mont Chéry in 12.07 at the average speed of 19.80km/h. Julian Alaphilippe of Etixx-Quick Step, fresh from his overall victory at the Tour of California, was the first to ride at 20km/h as he reached the finishing line in 12.00.

After one third of the competitors completed the course, Chris Froome (Team Sky) took the lead in 11.49 at the average speed of 20.31km/h. AG2R-La Mondiale's Romain Bardet (12.05) performed better than his French arch-rival Thibaut Pinot from FDJ (12.28). It started drizzling while fifteen riders were yet to leave the starting ramp. Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) was quick to rejoin Arthur Vichot (FDJ). The Spaniard bettered Froome's time by 13 seconds and Richie Porte (BMC) positioned himself in second place between his two former captains, six seconds down on the winner.

Contador-Porte-Froome: this is the first hierarchy in the 68th Critérium du Dauphiné whilst the two other favourites have lost a significant amount of time on a very short distance: Pinot was 17th at 52 seconds and Fabio Aru (Astana) even further down in 36th place at 1.08.

After the race Contador had this to say: “It was a very hard time trial, especially from km 2 to 1km to go. I've tried to speed up but it was hard to change rhythm. The climb suited me really well. I knew I could time trial well on this course but I didn't know if I was able to win it. I started flat out and I had good legs. I didn't expect to win but I can't say it's a surprise to beat Chris Froome. It's just been a perfect day and I'll take the race day by day from now on.

The time gaps are very small and Team Sky came to the Dauphiné for winning. They even have four or five different riders able to win the overall classification. It would be complicated for my team to control the race from now till the end and it would be too demanding. My goal remains to prepare for the Tour de France more than the overall classification of the Dauphiné.”
