Jakob Fuglsang wins the final stage the the 2017 Dauphiné

Stage 8 rated ascents:

Km 30.0: Col des Saisies, 15.1 km @ 6.4% - cat. 1
Km 56.0: Col des Aravis, 6.6 km @ 6.9% - cat. 2
Km 80.5: Col de la Colombière, 11.3 km @ 6.1% - cat. 1
Km 115.0: Plateau de Solaison, 11.3 km @ 9.2% - cat. H

The race: 149 riders signed on. There were two non-starters, Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) and Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis). De Gendt, who led the race for several days, injured his wrist because of his position on his time-trial bike used in Wednesday's stage. The official start was at 11:25 AM, local time.

Here's the organizer's telling of the day's thrilling racing:

Jakob Fuglsang of Astana became the first Dane to win the overall classification of the Critérium du Dauphiné as he dethroned race leader Richie Porte through the ten seconds bonus awarded to the winner of the conclusive stage. This is the third time in the past four editions that there is a change of leadership on the last day. It's been a thrilling finale again!

A group of 24 riders went clear at km 13 just before they started climbing to col des Saisies: David Lopez (Sky), Pierre Latour (AG2R-La Mondiale), Petr Vakoc (Quick-Step Floors), Michael Gogl (Trek-Segafredo), Richard Carapaz and Jesus Herrada (Movistar), Esteban Chaves and Roman Kreuziger (Orica-Scott), Alexei Lutsenko (Astana), Antwan Tolhoek (LottoNL-Jumbo), Dani Navarro (Cofidis), Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Nils Politt (Katusha-Alpecin), Warren Barguil and Lennard Hofstede (Sunweb), Grega Bole (Bahrain-Merida), Simon Clarke and Dylan Van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac), Thomas Voeckler (Direct Energie), Edvald Boasson Hagen and Ben O'Connor (Dimension Data), Vegard Stake Laengen and Ben Swift (UAE Team Emirates) and Christoph Pfingsten (Bora-Hansgrohe). One of them remained in the lead in the first climb of the day: Gallopin. The Frenchman crested the col des Saisies with an advantage of 50 seconds over the yellow-blue jersey.

Gallopin was reeled in at the exit of La Clusaz in the downhill following the col des Aravis as Chris Froome (Sky) sped up again after he tried to put race leader Richie Porte (BMC) in trouble in the second climb of the day as much as in the first one. Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) rode away at km 70. He was quickly rejoined by Fabio Aru (Astana). The duo crested the col de la Colombière with an advantage of a bit more than one minute over Froome who attacked Porte just before the summit and continued to speed up and distance his rival in the downhill. Froome and Michal Kwiatkowski (Sky), Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale), Dan Martin (Quick-Step Floors), Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo), Simon Yates (Orica-Scott), Jakob Fuglsang (Astana), Rafael Valls (Lotto-Soudal), Clarke (Cannondale-Drapac), Louis Meintjes (UAE Team Emirates) and Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) rejoined Aru and Valverde with 10km to go in the final uphill.

Martin attacked with 7km to go. Fuglsang bridged the gap quickly and went solo 5km before the end. It was a thrilling duel between Fuglsang and Porte as the two men were separated by 1.15 on GC and the difference on the road was just over one minute up the final climb to Plateau de Solaison. It was no longer a fight between Froome and Porte as the yellow-blue jersey holder rejoined and dropped his former team captain at Sky.

The Australian missed out on the Dauphiné overall victory but showed his physical superiority over Froome and Contador, his other former team captain at Saxo Bank, ahead of the Tour de France while Dan Martin finished third for the second straight year. The 69th Critérium du Dauphiné will leave an important footprint in the history of cycling.

There were two non-starters. Luis Leon Sanchez (Astana) and Davide Formolo (Cannondale-Drapac). As this very mountainous stage began to bite, more riders quit. Franco Pellizotti, Julien Morice and Geoffrey Soupe abandoned and others also climbed into their team cars.

Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:

Britain's Peter Kennaugh of Team Sky claimed his second stage victory at the Critérium du Dauphiné after he won the inaugural stage in Albertville in 2015. He rode away from the breakaway group along with his compatriot Ben Swift (UAE Team Emirates) and finished it off on his own. Richie Porte retained the yellow-blue jersey and even increased his advantage over runner up Chris Froome who couldn't hold his pace.

Peter Kennaugh (Team Sky) initiated the main breakaway of the day as he sped up in the first climb of the day, the category 4 côte de Berland (km 27.5). In three waves, a breakaway of 17 riders was eventually formed at km 35 with the addition of Alexis Vuillermoz (AG2R-La Mondiale), Jesus Herrada (Movistar), Koen Bouwman (LottoNL-Jumbo), Jelle Vanendert (Lotto-Soudal), Ignatas Konovalovas (FDJ), Maurits Lammertink (Katusha-Alpecin), Lennard Hofstede (Sunweb), Antonio Nibali (Bahrain-Merida), Simon Clarke (Cannondale-Drapac), Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), Scott Thwaites (Dimension Data), Ben Swift and Diego Ulissi (UAE Team Emirates), Thomas Degand (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Delio Fernandez and Mauro Finetto (Delko Marseille Provence KTM).

Bouwman defended his lead in the King of the Mountains competition as he crested the col de Cucheron and the col de Porte in first position. The advantage of the 17 leaders was 5.10 at the exit of Grenoble (km74) as they headed towards the valley of the Oisans. A maximum time gap of 6 minutes was recorded at Vizille, km 93. In the much awaited ascent to the col de Sarenne, Fernandez, Vandendert and Kennaugh rode away from the front group. Herrada, Swift and Ulissi made it a six-man group in the most difficult climb of the day. Kennaugh and Swift formed a British duo at the summit while Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) rode away solo from the yellow-jersey group controlled by race leader Richie Porte and his BMC team-mates. The Frenchman rejoined Andrew Talansky (Cannondale-Drapac) who had gone clear from far out.

Kennaugh soloed to victory 3.3km before the end as he tackled the last part of the traditional ascent to L'Alpe d'Huez. Behind Bardet who got rid of Talansky in the final climb, Richie Porte sped up in the final kilometre. Alberto Contador managed to follow him initially but only stage 6 winner Jakob Fuglsang could hold his pace so the race leader increased his advantage over Chris Froome to more than one minute on GC ahead of the conclusive stage atop the Hors-Category climb to Plateau de Solaison this Sunday.

Km 110.5: Côte de Jongieux, 3.3 km @ 5% - cat. 4
Km 132.0: Mont du Chat, 8.7 km @ 10.3% - cat. HC

Weather at the finish town of La Motte Servolex at 4:00 PM, local time: 27C (80F), sunny with the wind from the NNW at 8 km/hr (5 mph).

The race: 161 riders signed in at Parc des Oiseaux ("Birds' Park", it's an ornithological park with more than 3,000 birds). There were six non-starters: Max Richeze (Quick-Step Floors), Jonas Van Genechten (Cofidis), Jacopo Guarnieri (FDJ), Alexander Kristoff (Katusha-Alpecin), Borut Bozic and Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain-Merida). They rolled off at 12:32 PM, local time.

Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:

Denmark's Jakob Fuglsang won a stage of the Dauphiné for the first time as he outsprinted his three breakaway companions after trying to escape with 1km to go. It was a tight victory over Richie Porte who moves into the overall lead with an advantage of 39 seconds over Chris Froome ahead of a mountain stage to L'Alpe d'Huez.

161 riders started stage 6 at Parc des Oiseaux/Villars-les-Dombes. After several skirmishes, six riders formed a breakaway at km 9: Oliver Naesen (AG2R-La Mondiale), Anthony Turgis (Cofidis), Nils Politt (Katusha-Alpecin), Alberto Bettiol (Cannondale-Drapac), Serge Pauwels (Dimension Data) and Thierry Hupond (Delko Marseille Provence KTM).

A maximum time gap was recorded at km 81: 8.25, after which AG2R-La Mondiale decided to put the hammer down. BMC Racing Team took over from the French team as they tackled the ascent to the Mont du Chat. But Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) was the first of the favorites to attack, eight kilometers before the summit. Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) got a bigger gap later on while Naesen became the lone leader with 18km to go. The Dane prepared a counter attack by his team-mate Fabio Aru who crested the Mont du Chat alone in first position. At the top, Richie Porte (BMC Racing Team) and Chris Froome (Sky) were timed 54 seconds before Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo), Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) and Valverde.

Like in the downhill of the Col de Peyresourde in the 2016 Tour de France, Froome showed his skills in the descent. Fuglsang was first to come across to him. They reached the bottom of the climb with Porte and Aru in their slipstream. Fuglsang tried to profit from Astana to have two men in the leading group. He attacked under the flamme rouge of the last kilometer but realized quickly enough that Froome and Porte had reacted. Porte sprinted on the right side of the road and looked like going for the win but Fuglsang had kept enough energy to pass him at the eleventh hour. However, the Australian who won the time trial two days ago was in the best situation to take over from De Gendt in the lead of the overall ranking with an advantage of 39 seconds over Froome and 1.15 over Fuglsang.

The race: 168 riders rolled off the line at 12:07 PM. There was one non-starter, Ian Stannard (Sky), who was ill.

Here's the race organizer's telling of the day's racing:

Germany's Phil Bauhaus sprinted to victory at the end of stage 5 in the 69th Critérium du Dauphiné in Mâcon like his compatriot John Degenkolb six years ago in the city of French poet and politician Alphonse de Lamartine at the same age of 22. He outclassed four French sprinters and firstly points competition leader Arnaud Démare while Alexander Kristoff only finished sixth. Thomas De Gendt retained the yellow-blue jersey ahead of the conclusive three Alpine stages.

168 riders started stage 5 of the 69th Critérium du Dauphiné in La Tour-de-Salvagny. One non-starter: Ian Stannard (Team Sky). Race leader Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) was the first man under the spotlight as he attacked from the gun and also crested the 3rd category Côte de Belmont-d'Azergues in first position to defend his first position in the King of the Mountain competition. Only one rider from the first breakaway of the day didn't get caught by the peloton at km 10. Julien El Farès (Delko Marseille Provence KTM) was well inspired to forge on as he was reinforced two kilometers further by a trio of Dutchmen: Koen Bouwman (LottoNL-Jumbo), Dylan van Baarle (Cannondale-Drapac), Marco Minnaard (Wanty-Groupe Gobert). FDJ seized the reins of the peloton. However, the time gap kept increasing until Katusha took over at km 55: 5.10. A maximum difference was recorded after the col de Fut d'Avenas (km 64): 5.20.

Three teams combined forces at the head of the peloton as Katusha, FDJ and Dimension Data respectively asked Sven-Erik Bystrøm, Jérémy Maison and Jay Thompson to bring the breakaway back. The deficit of the peloton was down to 3.30 with 50km to go. It was less than three minutes with 40km to go and less than two minutes with 30km to go as more teams helped chasing: Direct Energie with Thomas Voeckler, Sunweb, Trek-Segafredo… 20km before the end, the same dynamic reduced the difference to less than one minute. The leading quartet was dislocated in the last 20km with Bouwman, El Farès and Minnaard being successively reeled in by the peloton.

Van Baarle stayed away until he got caught at the 6km to go mark. Katusha was the most active team at the head of the peloton in the run-in but Bauhaus proved to be the most powerful as he came out of the Giro d'Italia with two top 5 in the bunch sprints on victory days for Fernando Gaviria. His first victory of the year came at the Dauphiné in line with the ones of his compatriots John Degenkolb, also in Mâcon in 2011, and Nikias Arndt in stage 4 to Le Teil in 2014, all of them at the age of 22! Four Frenchmen rounded out the top 5: Arnaud Démare, Bryan Coquard, Adrien Petit and Nacer Bouhanni. Alexander Kristoff was probably the most disappointed as his team had been the most efficient before the final rush.

Richie Porte

Richie Porte was the fastest man of the day, but not quite fast enough to take the race lead.

The race: The first of 169 riders went off at 1:01 PM, local time.

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

Richie Porte (BMC Racing Team) claimed his first stage win at the Critérium du Dauphiné, confirming he's the world's number one stage race rider this year after he won the Santos Tour Down Under and the Tour de Romandie as well as the queen stage of Paris-Nice. He time trialed twelve seconds faster than world champion Tony Martin but in the overall ranking, he remained 27 seconds down on race leader Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) who defended himself very well with a top 10 finish against the clock.

169 riders were set to start stage 4 of the 69th Critérium du Dauphiné, a 23.5km individual time trial from La Tour-du-Pin to Bourgoin-Jallieu. Japan's Fumiyuki Beppu (Trek-Segafredo) was first to cross the line after he overtook Aleksejs Saramotins (Bora-Hansgrohe), the first rider in action. Norway's Amund Groendahl Jansen (LottoNL-Jumbo) set a best time before Cyril Lemoine (Cofidis) established the first performance below thirty minutes at the average speed of 47.36km/h.

South African time trial champion Daryl Impey (Orica-Scott) tested himself after he broke a collarbone during Liège-Bastogne-Liège. He was first to ride above 48km/h before Chad Haga (Sunweb) bettered his time. The next provisional best performance was the one of world champion Tony Martin (Katusha-Alpecin) who was close to 50km/h (49.79km/h) but the German wasn't completely satisfied with his race, which led to think that GC favorites might beat him.

It happened when Richie Porte (BMC Racing Team) crossed the line in 28.07 at an average speed of 50.14km/h. He won his duel with his former team leader Chris Froome (Sky) as the defending champion of the Critérium du Dauphiné rode 37 seconds slower than him, which came as a surprise since Alberto Contador (Trek-Segafredo) also clocked a slightly better time – the seventh best of the day – while Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) was an impressive third placed. Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal) also made the top 10 and retained the yellow-blue jersey with an advantage of 27 seconds onto Porte ahead of stage 5 to Mâcon that will precede a weekend of three mountain stages.

Km 137.0: Côte des Sarrets, 2.9 km @ 4.9% - cat. 3
Km 144.5: Côte de Roybon, 1.4 km @ 5.8% - cat. 4

The race: The official start was given at 12:05 PM, local time. 170 riders signed in. There were two non-starters: Eros Capecchi (Quick-Step Floors) and Floris De Tier (LottoNL-Jumbo).

Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:

Koen Bouwman opens his record book at the age of 23 as he claimed his first pro victory in stage 3 of the 69th Critérium du Dauphiné in Tullins. He outsprinted his five breakaway companions who stayed away from the peloton for 182 out of 184 kilometres in total. They fended off the chasing bunch of the sprinters and Thomas De Gendt retained the yellow-blue jersey ahead of the individual time trial.

170 riders started stage 3 of the 69th Critérium du Dauphiné. Two non-starters: Eros Capecchi (Quick-Step Floors) and Floris De Tier (LottoNL-Jumbo). Six riders took the lead at km 2: Koen Bouwman and Alexey Vermeulen (LottoNL-Jumbo), Bryan Nauleau (Direct Energie), Frederik Backaert (Wanty-Groupe Gobert), Quentin Pacher and Edvaldas Siskevicius (Delko Marseille Provence KTM). They reached a maximum advantage of 6.50 at the col de Fontayes (km 55.5) as they were experiencing 47 kilometres of the route also scheduled for stage 16 of the coming Tour de France from Le Puy-en-Velay to Romans-sur-Isère.

As FDJ and Cofidis combined forces when they took over from Lotto-Soudal at the helm of the peloton, the gap was down to four and half minutes at half way into the race. Other teams like Katusha-Alpecin with Tiago Machado and Dimension Data with Jay Thompson showed the same interest. The time difference was still around two minutes with 20km to go. That's when some of the sprinters' teams realized it would be hard to catch the breakaway riders who remained on a cooperative mode. No attack was reported in the front group before the sprint eventually won by Bouwman who had also passed first at all four categorized climbs of the day so he moved closer to race leader Thomas De Gendt in the King of the Mountains competition. Arnaud Démare won the bunch sprint again but for seventh place this time.

Stage 2 categorized climbs:

Km 5.0: Côte de Croix Blanche, 4.6 km @ 4.1% - cat. 3
Km 79.5: Col de Verrières-en-Forez, 9 km @ 4.8% - cat. 2
Km 91.0: Col de Baracuchet, 6.2 km @ 4.9% - cat. 3
Km 100.5: Col des Supeyres, 2.9 km @ 5.6% - cat. 4

The race: 174 riders began stage two at 12:18 PM. There was one non-starter, Tosh Van der Sande (Lotto-Soudal), teammate of race leader Thomas de Gendt.

Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing:

Arnaud Démare won the bunch sprint finish of stage 2 of the 69th Critérium du Dauphiné as he easily outsprinted Alexander Kristoff at the end of a 4.6km final straight line in Arlanc. Thomas De Gendt retained the lead in the overall classification.

Koen Bouwman (LottoNL-Jumbo), Mickaël Delage (FDJ), Nathan Brown (Cannondale-Drapac) and Romain Combaud (Delko Marseille Provence KTM) rode away from the gun as the initial part of the race was the 4.6km long climb of côte de Croix Blanche. The time gap to the peloton led by Lotto-Soudal, the team of race leader Thomas De Gendt, was stabilized around 3.20 and Delage gave up after 25km of racing as he believed he'd be more useful at the service of Arnaud Démare in case of a bunch sprint finish.

A maximum time gap of 3.50 was recorded at km 70 ahead of the ascent to col de Verrières-en-Forez where Astana seriously upped the pace of the peloton. The Kazakh team was preparing an action by Alexey Lutsenko who rode away solo and rejoined Bouwman, Brown and Combaud in the lead of the race at km 92. The 2012 u23 world champion went on his own as he passed the finishing line in Arlanc for the first time 31.5km before the end. Successively, Bahrain-Merida and Dimension Data showed their ambitions as they sped up at the front of the peloton. Lutsenko was reeled in with 3km to go.

Katusha-Alpecin set a perfect sprint for Alexander Kristoff but Démare who had been in trouble in the hills with 70km to go, timed it better to pass the Norwegian fast man way before the finishing line. The Frenchman claimed his sixth victory of the 2017 season. The most significant one this year for the winner of the 2016 Milan-Sanremo was stage 1 in Paris-Nice. His compatriot Nacer Bouhanni of Cofidis rounded up the podium whereas no change occurred in the overall ranking with Thomas De Gendt keeping the yellow-blue jersey for the second straight day.

The race: Here's the organizer's telling of the day's racing.

Already a stage winner at the Tour de France, the Giro d'Italia and Paris-Nice, Belgium's Thomas De Gendt claimed a well deserved solo victory, his first one at the Critérium du Dauphiné, in Saint-Étienne. Frenchman Axel Domont who was the last rider able to follow him is the runner up in the region he hails from.

176 riders took the start of stage 1 of the 69th Critérium du Dauphiné. A seven-man breakaway was formed as the col du Pilon (km 11.5) was crested: Axel Domont (AG2R-La Mondiale), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), Antonio Nibali (Bahrain-Merida), Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), Silvio Herklotz (Bora-Hansgrohe), Delio Fernandez and Angel Madrazo (Delko Marseille Provence KTM). They got a five-minute lead at km 50 while the bunch was led by Team Sky. De Gendt rode for the polka dot jersey. After cresting the côte de la Roche (km 57) in first position, he continued riding solo at the front before awaiting his breakaway companions after the côte de Périgneux (km 61.5) where the maximum deficit of the bunch was recorded: 6.35.

The five-minute difference between the seven leaders and the peloton was back in the books at km 100. Dimension Data took over from Team Sky at the head of the peloton and did an enormous work along with Astana to bring the breakaway back as they eyed a fifth stage victory at the Critérium du Dauphiné for Edvald Boasson Hagen. With 40km to go, their deficit was reduced to 3.15 but the lack of cooperation in the bunch led to an increase ten kilometers further: 3.45 with 30km to go. The difference was 2.45 with 20km to go as De Gendt and Domont had gone clear off the breakaway group in the second ascent of the côte de Rochetaillée on the final circuit in Saint-Étienne.

De Gendt rode Domont off as he accelerated in the climb with 8km to go. There was more action at the head of the peloton after Orica-Scott significantly reduced the gap as Diego Ulissi (UAE), Emanuel Buchmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Pierre Latour (AG2R-La Mondiale) rode away. The Belgian from Lotto-Soudal reached the finishing line in Saint-Étienne with an advantage of 43 seconds over Domont while Ulissi crossed the line in third place. De Gendt will wear the yellow jersey on stage 2 from Saint-Chamond to Arlanc.
