Weather at the city of Corenc, on the route, 6.1 km from the finish, at 1:40 PM, local time: 24C (76F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the northwest at 6 km/hr (4 mph). There is a 24% chance of rain.

The race: All 127 stage 7 finishers began today's stage at 10:30. Early in the stage Dries Devenyns (Soudal Quick-Step) & Martin Urianstad (Uno-X) abandoned. About 40 kilometers into the stage Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Dstny) quit the race.

On the Col du Cucheron TotalEnergies riders Piarre Latour & Matteo Vercher climbed off their bikes.

Here is the stage eight report from race winner Jonas Vingegaard's Team Jumbo-Visma:

Jonas Vingegaard has won the Critérium du Dauphiné for the first time in his career. The 26-year-old Dane of Team Jumbo-Visma defended his yellow leader's jersey in style on the final stage. The final victory in the French stage race is Vingegaard's 11th in the current cycling year.

The peloton had to climb again in the final stage. The course included no less than six climbs. The organisers hoped to keep the battle open until the end, and a battle for the stage win did indeed ensue. From the early breakaway, which included Tiesj Benoot, the Italian Giulio Ciccone won the stage on the flanks of La Bastille in Grenoble.

On the same climb, Vingegaard added the finishing touch to his general classification victory. The Dane accelerated from the group of favourites and left all his rivals behind. In the end, Vingegaard fell just short of a third stage win, but his 11th victory of the season took his career total to 23 and gave Team Jumbo-Visma its 35th victory in 2023.

"I'm honoured to have won this race”, Vingegaard said. "It is one of the biggest and most prestigious races in the world. I am delighted to have won the final classification. The team's work today was once again outstanding. This victory is also theirs. We were in control, and I was never alone. That is a good feeling. It has been a great week, and we have achieved our goals.”

Vingegaard continued: "The form is good. I think all the guys on the team are happy with their strong legs of the past week. I can't thank them enough for their hard work over the last eight days. The only blemish on previous week's race was Steven Kruijswijk's crash, which is a significant loss. Hopefully, he will recover quickly. I knew I was in good shape after the last training block, but it remains to be seen how that translates into the race. I will now take a few days off, and then I will be entirely focused on the Tour de France. The important thing is to connect the dots for the start in Bilbao.”

"The preparation for the Tour was the most important thing last week”, sports director Grischa Niermann said. "But of course, we also wanted to win this race. We are happy with the way last week went. We saw that Jonas was fine, as was the rest of the team. We will now return to the final phase of our training to leave nothing to chance at the start of the Tour.”

Team Jumbo-Visma also won four stages and the general classification at the 2023 Critérium du Dauphine. Christophe Laporte won the green points jersey.

Weather at the city of Saint-Sorlin-d'Arves, on the route, 7.5 km from the finish, at 1:45 PM, local time: 17C (63F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the northeast at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 40% chance of rain.

The race: There were two non-starters: Milan Menten (Lotto-Dstny) & Elmar Reinders (Jayco AlUla). The official start to this truly tough stage was given at 10:39. After the Col de la Madeleine Rune Herregodts (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) abandoned.

Here's the race organizer's stage seven summary:

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) displayed his climbing skills to conquer the highest stage finish in the history of the Critérium du Dauphiné, on Saturday. The Dane dropped all his rivals more than 5 kilometres away from the Col de la Croix de Fer (2,607m above the sea). A month before the defence of his 2022 victory in the Tour de France - where he won a stage at Col du Granon (2,404m) -, Vingegaard put 41'' between his first chaser Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) and himself to increase his lead in the overall standings and comfort his yellow and blue jersey.

Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) completes the podium of the day just ahead of Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën). The final battles of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2023 will lead the riders to Grenoble, where the overall winner will be crowned on the slopes of La Bastille.

A 129-man peloton set off from Porte-de-Savoie to take on the Alpine challenges of the final week-end of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2023. The stage starts on the flat but the attackers are eager to hit the climbs of the day: they reach the bottom of the ascent to Col de la Madeleine (the first HC climb of the race, with 25.1km of ascent at 6.2%), at km 50, in just under an hour!

Four riders lead the way after they attacked at km 21: Rémi Cavagna (Soudal Quick-Step), Madis Mihkels (Intermarché-Circus-Wantty), Anthony Perez (Cofidis) and Victor Campenaerts (Lotto Dstny). At the bottom of the climb, Reuben Thompson (Groupama-FDJ), Anthon Charmig (Uno X), Matteo Vercher (Total Energies) and Tobias Bayer (Alpecin Deceuninck) trail by 1 minute. And the gap to the bunch reaches its maximum: 5’45’’.

Campenaerts goes solo
More fireworks are lit on the ascent. Pierre Latour (Total Energies) sets off with his teammate Mathieu Burgaudeau at the bottom of the climb and later joins Matteo Vercher to try and join the leaders. Meanwhile, Victor Campenaerts drops all his breakaway companions and goes solo over the top of La Madeleine. Anthony Perez trails by 1’, Latour, Charmig and Bayer by 1’25’’… The peloton, led at a strong pace by Ineos Grenadiers, summit with a gap of 2’30’’.
As the race travels through the Maurienne valley, Perez, Charmig and Bayer get together behind Campenaerts while the other chasers are caught. Jonas Vingegaard’s Jumbo-Visma pull the bunch.

Jumbo-Visma launch Vingegaard
At the bottom of the climb to Col du Mollard, Campenaerts is 1’55’’ ahead of his chasers while the peloton trail by 3’30’’. After 18.5km with an average gradient of 5.8%, Campenaerts is still at the front… But his lead is down to 15’’. The Belgian baroudeur takes the time to celebrate at the summit - he’s all but certain to take the polka-dot jersey at the end of the stage. He is caught right at the bottom of the final ascent of the day.

Jumbo-Visma up the ante and Vingegaard attacks with 5.5 kilometres to go. Right behind him, Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) sets his own pace behind the Dane, who steadily increases his lead all the way to the summit.

A tight battle for the podium
Vingegaard wins 41’’ ahead of the Brit. Jai Hindley (Bora-Hansgrohe) comes 3rd (+54’’), after he accelerated in the last 2 kilometres. He gains a few seconds on his compatriot Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën) and Max Poole.

In the overall standings, Yates (2nd, +2’11’’), O’Connor (3rd, +2’24’’) and Hindley (4th, +2’36’’) look set to battle for the podium positions on the way to La Bastille, on Sunday. But it will take an extraordinary coup to overthrow Vingegaard.

Tesfazion had to leave the race because of knee pain caused by a crash in stage three.

Here's the race organizer's stage six summary.

Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty) took his 2nd professional victory, the first in the World Tour, in Crest-Voland, the arrival of stage 6 of the Critérium du Dauphiné. The young German was strong and smart enough to be part of a 14-man breakaway that only developed after more than 60 kilometres of battle. He then mastered a finale he already knew from the Tour de l’Avenir (he was 18th there in 2018) to get the best of Mathieu Burgaudeau (Total Energies) and Jonathan Castroviejo (Ineos Grenadiers). Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) attacked again but his GC rivals answered this move. The final week-end will offer them much more elevation to open differences in the mountains.

The road rises, the stakes are raised, and the attackers are very much inspired from the start in Nantua (where Julian Alaphilippe won a stage of the Tour de l’Ain in 2014). The riders cover 49.5km in the first hour… And it’s not enough to make the break! The battle keeps going after the cat-2 ascent of the Côte de Clermont-en-Genevois (summit at km 52.8) but Jumbo-Visma control the different attempts until they see a group they deem not too dangerous for Jonas Vingegaard’s yellow and blue jersey.

Six riders eventually get away at km 56. They’re joined by eight more attackers at km 60 to make the break of the day: Nans Peters (AG2R Citroën), Jonathan Castroviejo (Ineos Grenadiers), Andrea Bagioli, Dries Devenyns (Soudal Quick-Step), Andrey Amador (EF Education-EasyPost), Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty), Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar), Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates), Axel Zinglé (Cofidis), Lawson Craddock (Jayco AlUla), Mathieu Burgaudeau, Matteo Vercher, Alexis Vuillermoz (Total Energies), Simon Guglielmi (Arkéa Samsic).

The race explodes up the Col des Aravis
Meanwhile, the pace condemns a handful of weakened riders: Donavan Grondin (Arkéa Samsic), Natnael Tesfatsion (Trek Segafredo), Rudy Porter (Jayco AlUla) and Manuele Boaro (Astana Qazaqstan) withdraw from the race.

Jumbo-Visma control the gap, until it reaches a maximum of 3’15’’ at km 82. Then Uno X drive the chase, with the occasional support of Team DSM and Trek Segafredo. The gap is down to 1’50’’ as the race enters the final 30 kilometres.

The breakaway explodes on the slopes of the cat-2 ascent of Col des Aravis (7.8km at 5.7%, summit 18.3km away from the finish). At the summit, Jonathan Castroviejo, Mathieu Burgaudeau and Georg Zimmermann are 35’’ ahead of Matteo Trentin, Nans Peters, Simon Guglielmi and Andrea Bagioli. The peloton trail by 1’25’’.

Zimmermann punches to victory
The road rises again for the last 7km, with the climb of the Côte de Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe (3.2km at 6.1%), immediately followed by the final ascent to Crest-Voland (2.3km at 6.6%). The chasers trail by 25’’ and the peloton by 1’40’’.
These differences are big enough for the three leaders to battle it out. Zimmermann attacks with 2km to go.

It seems like his rivals can’t react… But Burgaudeau bridges the gap 500 metres away from the line. The Frenchman opens the sprint but the German clinches victory. Behind them, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) tests his GC rivals into the last kilometre but he doesn’t manage to open differences.

The race: All 137 riders who finished stage four began today's stage. About a third of the way into the stage Maxim Van Gils (Lotto-Dstny) abandoned.

Here is the the race organizer's stage five summary:

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) showed his class on day 5 of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2023 as he soloed away from the GC group to take the stage win and the yellow and blue jersey as the overall leader of the race. After an attack by Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) on the slopes of the Côte de Thésy, the Danish winner of the Tour de France 2022 dropped everyone with 16 kilometres to go.

Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) finished 2nd in Salins-les-Bains, 31’’ behind Vingegaard. The Frenchman is also 2nd of the GC, 1’23’’ behind the winner of the day. Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) crashed at the bottom of the Côte de Thésy.

After the individual time trial and ahead of a mountainous week-end, attackers are inspired from the start in Cormoranche-sur-Saône. Nils Politt (Bora-Hansgrohe) is very active and his efforts launch the break of the day at km 5, with Georg Zimmermann (Intermarché-Circus-Wanty), Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X), Edvald Boasson Hagen (Total Energies) and Leon Heinschke (Team DSM) alongside him. Thomas De Gendt (Lotto Dstny) quickly bridges the gap to make it six men at the front while the other counter-attackers are reeled in by the bunch.
The leaders fly towards the main challenges of the day. They cover 50.8 kilometres in the first hour, and 46.2 kilometres in the second hour, despite hitting the first ascent of the day (the cat-3 Côte de Château-Chalon, summited at km 97.7).

Relentless pace
Their efforts give them a maximum lead of 4’15’’ at km 78. Soudal Quick-Step and Bahrain Victorious participate in the chase alongside Mikkel Berg’s UAE Team Emirates). The pace is too high for Maxim Van Gils, who has to abandon due to illness according to his team Lotto Dstny.

The peloton seriously up the ante, but so do the attackers. They cross the finish line for the first time and take on a 48.7 km loop around Salins-les-Bains, with the climbs of Côte d'Ivory (cat-3, 36.7km to go after the summit) and Côte de Thésy (cat-2, 14.4km to go). The gap is still up to 3’05’’.

Carapaz and Alaphilippe try...
The many ups and downs wear the peloton, but EF Education-EasyPost take the reins to bring the gap down to 1’ for the last 30 kilometres. The gap is down to 20’’ at the bottom of the Côte de Thésy (3.6km at 8.8%). Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) hits the deck. He quickly gets back up on his bike but can't make his way back to the front.

Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) attacks 3 kilometres away from the summit. Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) tries to follow but only Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) can match the Ecuadorian’s pace… And the Danish rider even drops his rival 1.5km away from the summit, with 16km to go.

Vingegaard takes it all
Atop the Côte de Thésy, Vingegaard is 35’’ ahead of the GC group, not featuring Carapaz, David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) or Dani Martinez (Ineos Grenadiers), who were all dropped on the ascent.

Vingegaard keeps up with his effort all the way to the finish. Julian Alaphilippe is the fastest from the GC group to take the 2nd place of the day and of the overall standings, ahead of the final three mountainous challenges

Mikkel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) had a stunning and visibly emotional performance in stage 4 of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2023, an individual time trial that saw him get the best of Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma). The Danish winner of the Tour de France 2022 had the best start but his younger compatriot was stronger and stronger as the kilometres went by, until he set the best time at the finish: 37’28’’ to cover 31.1km (49.8km/h), 12’’ ahead of Vingegaard and 27’’ ahead of Rémi Cavagna (Soudal Quick-Step).

Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma) finished 21st (+1’50’’) and lost his leader’s jersey to Bjerg, who claims at 24 years old his first professional victory, in line with his three titles as the U23 ITT world champion.

Luke Durbridge (Jayco-AlUla) rounds a corner

The sun is out to accompany the 140 riders gearing up to take on one of the most important challenges of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2023: a 31.1 km time trial with 445 metres of elevation from Cours to Belmont-de-la-Loire.

Donavan Grondin (Arkéa Samsic) is the first rider to start, at 13:41. He’s also the first rider at the finish, but Dylan van Baarle (Jumbo-Visma) immediately sets a better time (41’13’’). And he’s quickly beaten by Ryan Mullen (Bora-Hansgrohe) as well, with a time of 39’23’’.

As the experts up the ante, the times go down: 38’33’’ for Jonathan Castroviejo (Ineos Grenadiers), 38’30’’ for Nelson Oliveira (Movistar)… And 37’55’’ for Rémi Cavagna (Soudal Quicl-Step). Can he make it four French victories in four stages? His impressive reference stands for a long time. But not until the end.

Vingegaard starts strong, Bjerg finishes stronger
A three-time U23 ITT world champion, Mikel Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) takes a good start and increases the pace in the second part of the race, so much that he puts 27’’ behind him and Cavagna, who was 9’’ ahead of him after 10.7km. With an average speed of 49.8km/h, he sets a reference of 37’28’’.

Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) is the fastest at the first intermediate point, 20’’ ahead of Bjerg. But The Danish winner of the Tour de France 2022 eventually takes the 2nd best time, 12’’ behind Bjerg.

Laporte's run in yellow and blue comes to an end
After that, nobody comes close to Bjerg but Fred Wright (Bahrain Victorious) takes the 4th best time (+34’’). Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën) is the best among Vingegaard’s rivals for the GC battle, dropping 29’’ on the Danish rider. Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) follows closely, with a gap of 45’’ to Vingegaard.

As for Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma), he takes the 21st best time, 1’50’’ behind the winner for the day. Mikkel Bjerg doesn’t only take the stage win, but also the yellow and blue jersey!

The race: All 141 stage two finishers began stage three at 12:10. Due to a protest on the road at km 91.8, the race direction, in accordance with the commissaires, has decided that the peloton will take another road at a slower pace.

Here's the race organizer's stage three report:

Make it two stage wins for Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma) in the Critérium du Dauphiné 2023, and three for the French stars! With his yellow and blue jersey on his shoulders, the leader of overall standings dominated the sprint of Le Coteau on Tuesday, after Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) won stage 2 on the day before. This is the first time since 1960 that French riders win the first three stages of the Critérium du Dauphiné. In the final run-in to the line, Laporte got the best of the pure sprinters Sam Bennett (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Dylan Groenewegen (Jayco AlUla). But the two of them were relegated to 33rd & 34th after the stage. (Ed: for deviating from their lines in the last 100 meters of the sprint) Laporte also strengthens his overall lead on the eve of a 31.1km time trial from Cours to Belmont-de-la-Loire.

The 141-man peloton start from Monistrol-sur-Loire at noon. And two riders immediately get on the move: Mathieu Burgaudeau (Total Energies) sets off, Lorenzo Milesi (Team DSM) follows him. They quickly open a gap of 1’55’’ but the Italian youngster doesn’t keep up with his effort after 15km. Burgaudeau is alone at the front. And his lead reaches a maximum of 6’05’’ at km 30.

Dylan Groenewegen’s Jayco AlUla and Sam Bennett’s Bora-Hansgrohe are the first teams to move to the front of the bunch to control the stage. Attacks fly again on the first ascent of the day, the cat-2 Côte de Bellevue-la-Montagne (summit at km 40.9).

Burgaudeau goes first at the summit, and Pierre Latour (Total Energies) follows to take 3 points. But Donavan Grondin’s polka-dot jersey remains out of reach after the youngster from Arkéa Samsic claimed 7 points in the first two stages.

Alaphilippe tries to upset Laporte
With a hardened pace, the peloton only trail by 4 minutes at the summit. Some teams try to create splits in the bunch. But everybody is vigilant and the situation settles down. Burgaudeau waits for the peloton and is caught at km 69. From there, a bunched pack makes its way to the finish in Le Coteau, with a short neutralisation to go past a protest at km 91.

Soudal Quick-Step and Julian Alaphilippe try to make the most of the intermediate sprint. The Frenchman is 2nd in the overall standings, with the same time as Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma)… But he also takes the second place in Sainte-Foy-Saint-Sulpice (km 139.5), behind Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma), who snatches 3 bonus seconds (vs 2 for Alaphilippe).

Bennett tries, Laporte succeeds
Many riders hit the deck with a mass crash 48 kilometres away from the line. Andrey Zeits (Qazaqstan) is forced to abandon while riders such as Alaphilippe, Matteo Jorgenson (Movistar) and Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates) gradually make their way back to the bunch.

The sprinters survive the final ascent of the day, the cat-4 Côte de Pinay, summited with 18.5 km to go. The sprinters survive the climb and fly to a high-speed battle in Le Coteau. Alaphilippe suffers a mechanical with 7km to go but he manages to get back 3.5km before the finish.

Bora-Hansgrohe launch the sprint for Sam Bennett but the Irish star falters in the final 50 metres. Christophe Laporte seizes this opportunity to claim his second stage win in the Critérium du Dauphiné 2023.

Weather at the finish city of La Chaise-Dieu at 1:45 PM, local time: 17C (63F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the northeast at 6 km/hr (4 mph). There is a 54% chance of rain.

The race: Stage two began at 12:37. Ten minutes after the stage began there was a crash, forcing three riders to quit the race: Steven Kruijswijk (Jumbo-Visma), Steff Cras (TotalEnergies) and Romain Combaud (Team DSM)

Here's the race organizer's stage two summary:

Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) took a significant stage win on day 2 of the Critérium du Dauphiné, outsprinting a reduced bunch in La Chaise-Dieu. "I’m tired of speaking of bad luck", the French star said ahead of the Critérium du Dauphiné. And indeed, he sent a very different message with his legs as he edged the Olympic Champion Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) to take his second victory of the year and the first in the UCI WorldTour since a stage of the Itzulia Basque Country in 2022. Natnael Tesfatsion (Trek Segafredo) rounds out of the podium of the day, just ahead of Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma), who retains the yellow and blue jersey ahead of stage 3, leading to Le Coteau. This is the third stage win for Julian Alaphilippe in the Critérium du Dauphiné, after previous successes in 2018 and 2019. Each of them was followed by stellar performances in the Tour de France.

After the showers from day 1, the sun accompanies the 144 riders at the start of stage 2, in Brassac-les-Mines. The first kilometres are nonetheless eventful, with many attacks and a significant crash at km 8. Three riders are forced to withdraw: Steven Kruijswijk (Jumbo-Visma), Staff Cras (Total Energies) and Romain Combaud (Team DSM).

The first baroudeurs to open differences set off at km 6.5: Andrea Piccolo (EF Education-EasyPost), Jonas Gregaard (Uno-X), Victor Campeanaerts (Lotto Soudal) and Donavan Grondin (Arkéa Samsic).

Attacks keep flying and three more riders make it a 7-man breakaway: Nans Peters (AG2R Citroën) bridges the gap at km 21, Pierre Latour (Total Energies) and Kenny Elissonde (Trek Segafredo) do it at km 23.

Grondin's delight
After an intense battle, the peloton let the attackers go. But Jumbo-Visma quickly control the gap at under 2 minutes.

With the polka-dot jersey on his shoulders after his previous breakaway in stage 1, Donavan Grondin makes the most of the cat-3 ascents of the Col de Toutée (summit at km 46.7) and Col des Fourches (km 53.8) to consolidate his lead in the KOM standings

The attackers head to the final circuit with the peloton coming hot on their heels. Grondin lets his companions go 5 kilometres before they cross the line for the first time and take on a 35.1km circuit featuring the cat-4 climb of Côte des Guêtes (1km at 8%, to be summited 9.7km away from the finish).

Grondin's struggle
Into the last 50km, Soudal Quick-Step and Jumbo-Visma control the gap between 35 and 55’’. The intensity is too high for Grondin, who needs to stop on the side of the road as he visibly suffers from his left thigh. The Frenchman gets back on his bike to try and complete the stage, with another polka-dot jersey to claim on the podium.

Latour goes first atop the first ascent of the Côte des Guêtes but his legs abandon him a few kilometres later and he drops back to the bunch with 39km to go. Peters,  Piccolo, Elissonde, Gregaard, Victor Campeanaerts are 35’’ ahead of the bunch as they enter the final lap. Grondin trails by 9’30’’.

Another thrilling finale
The peloton up the ante in the final lap and the gap is down to 15’’ when Campenaerts attacks, with 28 km to go. Only Elissonde follows him. And the two of them manage to bring their lead back up to 30’’ ahead of the final ascent of the Côte des Guêtes. But they’re caught halfway through the climb.

Tobias Bayer (Alpecin Deceuninck) immediately counter-attacks and opens a gap of 13’’ at the summit, with 10km to go. He is caught after 6km at the front. Harrison Sweeny (Lotto Dstny) also attacks but Andrea Bagioli (Soudal Quick-Step) reels him in. And Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) himself pulls in the last kilometre, like he did on the day before.

But this time, Richard Carapaz (EF Education-EasyPost) opens up the sprint. Julian Alaphilippe (Soudal Quick-Step) follows him and pounces to victory. Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma) retains the yellow and blue jersey but settles for the fourth position on the day, behind Natnael Tesfatsion (Trek-Segafredo).
As the winners of the day collected their prizes, Grondin finished the stage 22'48'' after the leaders, just inside the time-cut of 23'30''.
