Weather at the city of Brizon, on the route, 6km from the finish, at 1:30 PM, local time: 26C (79F), sunny, with the wind from the northwest at 8 km/hr (5 mph). No rain is forecast.
The race: Enric Mas (Movistar), who crashed Friday and struggled in Saturday's stage, did not start. 134 riders began the last stage at 1:07 PM.
Here's the race organizer's stage eight summary:
Jonas Vingegaard has powered to an impressive stage win at the Plateau de Solaison ahead of Primoz Roglic, who sealed his overall victory at the final summit of the 74th Critérium du Dauphiné. The Jumbo-Visma collective had already taken a significant advantage ahead of the final stage, with the Slovenian leader wearing the yellow and blue jersey ahead of his Danish lieutenant.
They put even more emphasis to their domination with the support of the whole black and yellow train and especially Steven Kruijswijk, who smashed the GC group to pieces on the final ascent. Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën) was the last rival to resist, but he couldn’t keep up with Vingegaard’s decisive acceleration 5km away from the finish. The Australian climber rounds out the podium of the stage and the overall standings.
The final summit of the Critérium du Dauphiné is almost in sight, as the 134-rider peloton (1 non-starter: Enric Mas) roll from Saint-Alban-Leysse towards Plateau de Solaison. They immediately face the climb to Col de Plainpalais (cat.1, summit at km 8.8), where a major battle for the breakaway unfolds.

15 riders at the front
After many attacks and counter-attacks, Pierre Rolland (B&B Hotels-KTM) goes first over the top with the polka-dot jersey on his shoulders and 13 companions by his side : Eddie Dunbar, Laurens De Plus (Ineos Grenadiers), Matteo Fabbro (Bora-Hansgrohe), Bruno Armirail, Michael Storer (Groupama-FDJ), George Bennett (UAE Team Emirates), Antonio Tiberi, Kenny Elissonde, Antwan Tolhoek (Trek-Segafredo), Simon Geschke (Cofidis), Alexis Vuillermoz (TotalEnergies), Jan Hirt (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) et Franck Bonnamour (B&B Hotels-KTM).
Gorka Izagirre (Movistar) makes it 15 riders at the front as he bridges the gap towards the second ascent of the day, Col de Leschaux (cat.3, km 30.8), also summited first by Rolland. Primoz Roglic’s Jumbo-Visma control the gap between 2’ and 2’30’’ on the valley leading to the final challenges of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2022.
Attackers try to fend off Jumbo-Visma
The gap is down to 1’35’’ at the bottom of the climb to the Col de la Colombière (cat.1, km 100.5). Armirail and Storer immediately accelerate and only three riders follow the Groupama-FDJ duo at the front: Dunbar, Bennett and Elissonde. The gap increases to 2’15’’ with 6km to go to the summit, but Jumbo-Visma also pick up the pace. They trail by 2’ when Armirail steps aside with 3km to go to the summit.
De Plus and Hirt join the front of the race in the last km of ascent. The gap to the bunch is down to 1’35’’ again when they dive into the downhill towards the final climb of the day.
Kruijswijk, Vingegaard, Roglic: collective dominance
Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) drives the bunch on the downhill and the valley. At the bottom of the climb to Plateau de Solaison, the gap is down to 1’05’’. Steven Kruijswijk sets a brutal pace in the bunch. Bennett is the last attacker to be caught, 6.5km away from the finish. By that time, only six riders remain at the front: Kruijswijk, Vingegaard and Roglic for Jumbo-Visma, Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën), Esteban Chaves (EF Education-EasyPost) and Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious).
Kruijswijk keeps pushing until Vingegaard accelerates with 5.3km to go. O’Connor tries to resist but he can’t keep up with the Jumbo-Visma duo, who collaborate at the front and share the prizes at the summit: the stage win for Vingegaard and the overall victory for Roglic. O’Connor finishes with a gap of 15’’.

Weather at the finish city of Vaujany at 1:10 PM, local time: 19C (66F), sunny, with the wind from the north at 11 km/hr (7 mph). No rain is forecast.
The race: Chris Froome (Israel-Premier Tech), feeling unwell, did not start today's stage. Also absent today are Jordi Meeus (Bora-hansgrohe) & Dylan Groenewegen (BikeExchange-Jayco). 138 riders began stage seven at 1:06 PM.
Here's the race organizer's stage seven summary:
The first Alpine stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2022 has brought an all-out battle in the mountains until Carlos Verona (Movistar) took the win in Vaujany and Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) powered to the yellow and blue jersey. The Spanish climber was the strongest from an impressive group that went away on the first ascent of the day, the mighty Col du Galibier. He maintained a gap of 13’’ to Roglic, who finished 2nd of the stage ahead of his teammate Jonas Vingegaard.
Wout van Aert was dropped on the climb to Col de la Croix-de-Fer but Jumbo-Visma still smashed the final ascent of the day and they dominate the overall standings ahead of the final stage: Roglic is the new leader, 44’’ ahead of Vingegaard. Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën) is their first chaser, with a gap of 1’24’’.

The race sets off into the Alps with 138 riders (3 non-starters: Meeus, Froome, Groenewegen) and countless candidates for the breakaway. With an uphill start leading to the Col du Galibier (HC ascent, summit at km 26.5), attacks fly left and right, with Pierre Rolland (B&B Hotels-KTM) among the most active riders to defend his polka-dot jersey.
A massive breakaway
The French climber is the first over the top, alongside Matteo Fabbro (Bora-Hansgrohe). Chasers are all over the road, and 16 of them bridge the gap on the downhill towards Saint-Michel-de-Maurienne: Andrey Amador (Ineos Grenadiers), Luis Leon Sanchez (Bahrain Victorious), Gregor Muhlberger, Carlos Verona (Movistar), Bruno Armirail (Groupama-FDJ), Omer Goldstein (Israel Premier Tech), Dries Devenyns (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), Andres Ardila (UAE Team Emirates), Kenny Elissonde, Toms Skujins, Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo), Victor Lafay (Cofidis), Simon Guglielmi (Arkea-Samsic), Laurens Huys (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux), Mark Donovan, Kevin Vermaerke (Team DSM).
Jumbo-Visma drive the bunch and the gap increases to 2’30’’ on the valley leading to the second HC-climb of the day, towards the Col de La-Croix-de-Fer. Mark Donovan attacks on the first slopes. Into the last 50km of the stage, he has a 30’’ lead to his chasers, and the peloton trail by 3’30’’. Luis Leon Sanchez leads the virtual standings as he was trailing by 2’47’’ on GC at the start of the day.
Van Aert is dropped as the pressure increases on La-Croix-de-Fer
Halfway through the 29km ascent, the gap between Donovan and his chasers is up to 1’05’’ and the peloton trail by 4’05’’. Jasper Stuyven drives the chase behind Donovan and Uno-X up the pace in the bunch. Donovan is caught with 7km of ascent remaining, and the gap to the bunch is down to 2’50’’.
Five riders emerge at the front on the final kilometres of ascent: Rolland, who takes the 15 KOM points at the summit, Muhlberger, Verona, Lafay and Elissonde. In the bunch, Groupama-FDJ and then Bahrain Victorious increase the pressure and Wout van Aert is dropped inside the last 3km. Cattaneo also struggles, and Primoz Roglic is the virtual leader as he summits with a gap of 1’50’’ to the front of the race.
Vingegaard prepares Roglic’s assault
Verona and Elissonde accelerate on the downhill, while stragglers return to the chase group. At the bottom of the final ascent to Vaujany (5.7km at 7.2%), Guglielmi, Vermaerke, Skujins and Muhlberger are 25’’ behind the lead duo. The peloton trail by 1’30’’.
Verona immediately attacks and drops Elissonde. In the GC group, Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) sets a brutal pace for Primoz Roglic, who attacks in the final 2km of ascent. Verona can feel the pressure behind him, but the Spaniard maintains a gap of 13’’ on the line. Vingegaard finishes 3rd (+25’’), ahead of Ben O’Connor (AG2R Citroën, +27’’) and Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X, +39’’).

Weather at the finish city of Gap at 1:30 PM, local time: 24C (76F), sunny, with the wind from the northwest at 13 km/hr (8 mph). There is just a 1% chance of rain.
The race: Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates), who was sitting in 8th place in the GC, did not start. His team said he was sick and had a fever. He did test negative for Covid. That left 146 riders to begin today's stage at 11:34 AM. Early in the stage Michal Kwiatkowski (INEOS Grenadiers) abandoned.
Chris Froome is still struggling to find his old form. When the race hit the first first climb, he was dropped. He later made it back to the peloton.
Here's the race organizer's stage 6 summary:
Valentin Ferron outwitted his breakaway companions in the Gap finale of the 196.5-km 6th stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné on Friday, surging under the red flame to clinch his first World Tour victory.
Emulating Total Energies team-mate Alexis Vuillermoz a few days earlier, the 24-year-old Frenchman won ahead of compatriot Pierre Rolland, who strengthened his KOM lead, and a third Frenchman, Warren Barguil.
It was the third French victory in this Dauphiné, two other stages having crowned Wout van Aert, who retained his yellow jersey ahead of a mountainous final weekend.
The start was given at 11:34 to 146 riders. The peloton left Rives without white jersey contender Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates), who felt unwell and unfit to start. The peloton was jittery from the gun as break attempts multiplied and a group of three finally broke clear: Andrea Bagioli (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), Jasper Stuyven (Trek-Segafredo) and Lukasz Owsian (Arkea Samsic). But the trio was reined in at kilometre 36.
The first climb of the day, Cote de Ste Eulalie en Royans (4th cat.), was an opportunity for former race leader Alexis Vuillermoz to surge with Kevin Geniets, Mikkel Honoré and Samuele Battistella but they were quickly reeled in. As Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) called it quits, the break of the day took shape in the second climb, the 3rd category Cote des Grands-Goulets, where KOM leader Pierre Rolland led the way, followed by six other riders. The seven escapees were Geoffrey Bouchard (AG2R-Citroen), Bruno Armirail (Groupama-FDJ), Andrea Bagioli (Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl), Victor Lafay (Cofidis), Valentin Ferron (Total Energies), Warren Barguil (Arkea Samsic) and Pierre Rolland (B&B Hotels) and the pack seemed content to let them go as the gap steadily increased.
Rolland strengthens KOM lead
While the lead settled at around four minutes – reaching a maximum of 4:25 –, Pierre Rolland kept collecting points for his polka-dot jersey by finishing first in the second category climbs of the day, Col de Rousset (km 74.3) and Col de Cabre (Km 138.7). The Frenchman picked 12 points to take his overall tally to 29. In this last climb, Armirail lost ground and was dropped by his former breakaway companions. The sprint of the day went to Warren Barguil, who collected ten seconds and three points ahead of Ferron and Bouchard. Dylan Groenewegen also struggled in the final ascent of the fat but still had plenty of time to close the gap until the eponymous finish town.

Jumbo secure the jersey
Jumbo-Visma passed the baton to Trek-Segafredo to lead the bunch but no team seemed really determined to chase behind the break and the lead was still of three minutes with 30 km to go. Wout Van Aert’s team-mates looked content with maintaining a small enough gap not to lose the yellow jersey – Bagioli lying 3:02 at the start –, leaving the six escapees to battle it out for the stage laurels. The gap was down to one minute with 5 km to go, when Bouchard attacked to try to part with his companions. But the six kept working together until the red flame.
It was then that Ferron, who had only won a stage in the Tour du Rwanda before this, decided to go for it. He took the five others off their guard and Rolland and Barguil were left to settle for a podium place.
Valentin Ferron: "It’s huge. It’s the result of a lot of work. Every day you hope to win but you have to enjoy a World Tour victory because there won’t be a lot in a career. It’s an achievement, a great satisfaction in a sports career. It was a great breakaway group, with strong guys in the front. I was not the fastest so when I saw that there was a lull I decide to surge and go for it and it worked. It’s great. It’s a special feeling to win here. We’ll celebrate tonight and maybe it will sink in then. This year, you can tell that the dynamics are good in the team, everybody is involved and it’s fine. A lot of riders have already won a race this season."
Editor's note: After the organizer posted complete results, the race jury disqualified Juan Molano (UAE Team Emirates) for yelling at and slapping Hugo Page (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert).

The race: Here is the race organizer's stage five summary:
"I love to win", Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) claimed on Wednesday, and so he did on Thursday, in Chaintré, after a thrilling finale to cap off stage 5 of the Critérium du Dauphiné, covered at blazing speeds.
The Belgian star, narrowly beaten on the past three days, outsprinted Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe) with a minimal margin after the attackers were caught inside the last 100 metres! Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) rounded out the podium.
The 10 bonus seconds see Van Aert increase his lead in the overall standings ahead of the final three stages.
The start from Thizy-les-Bourgs sees 148 riders set off towards Chaintré, with 162.5 rolling kilometres on the menu. Attackers are inspired and the battle for the breakaway is a very intense one, with 46.2km covered in the first hour!
3+2=5 riders at the front
After many attempts, the first ascent of the day, Col des Escorbans (cat.3, summit at km 27.9), serves as a springboard for three riders to launch themselves at the front of the race: Fabien Doubey (TotalEnergies), followed by Jan Bakelants (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) and Benjamin Thomas (Cofidis).
Two more attackers set off in pursuit, the polka-dot jersey Pierre Rolland (B&B Hotels-KTM) and Benjamin Thomas (Cofidis). They bridge the gap to the leaders at the bottom of the 2nd ascent of the day, Côte de Dun (cat.2, km 52.3). Jumbo-Visma control the gap under 3 minutes.
Full-on battle between the bunch and the break
Rolland takes the 5 KOM points at the summit and then drops back to the peloton while Dylan Groenewegen’s BikeExchange-Jayco start pulling behind the four attackers remaining at the front. They bring the gap down to 1’15’’ with 70km to go.
The attackers accelerate cover 47.1km in the third hour and their lead is back up to 2 minute with 30km to go. Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) sets the pace in the bunch as they face the penultimate climb of the day, Col du Bois Clair (cat.4). The Italian star cuts the gap down to 1’25’’ at the summit (km 138.2).
A thrilling finale
Ineos Grenadiers maintain a hard pace on the final ascent, Côte de Vergisson (cat.4, km 149.6). Groenewegen is dropped in the last km of ascent. At the summit, the peloton trail by 35’’. And the Dutch sprinter is 35’’ further behind.
Thomas, Doubey, Bakelants and Schönberger are still 10’’ ahead as they enter the last kilometre. Even Primoz Roglic has to take a turn at the front of the bunch. The attackers are eventually caught inside the last 100 metres, when Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) powers to victory just ahead of Jordi Meeus (Bora-Hansgrohe).

Weather at the start city of Montbrison at 1:15 PM, local time: 19C (67F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the northwest at 10 km/hr (6 mph). There is a 15% chance of rain during the afternoon. At the start of the race the roads were wet from earlier rain.
The race: Matthew Walls (Bora-hansgrohe was the first rider off at 1:06 PM. Race leader Wout van Aert was the last man to start and began his ride at 4:00 PM.
Here's the organizer's race report:
Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) asserted his dominance on stage 4 of the Critérium du Dauphiné, taking victory at La Bâtie d’Urfé 2’’ ahead of Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma). The time-trial World Champion made the most of the 31.9km long opportunity laid out for him on stage 4 of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2022 with an impressive speed of almost 54km/h. Already 2nd yesterday and winner of stage 1, Van Aert dominates the overall standings 53’’ ahead of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl’s Mattia Cattaneo (+53’’) and his two Jumbo-Visma companions Primoz Roglic (+56'') and Jonas Vingegaard (+1’26’’) ahead of the main mountainous challenges.
Durbridge raises the stakes
The parade of riders is launched by Matthew Walls, 148th and last in the general classification, but the British sprinter is not the first to reach the finish as Dries Van Gestel overtakes him and sets a reference of 38'56''. Miguel Heidemann and then Mathias Norsgaard Jorgensen succeed him as provisional leaders of the classification. Soon after, Luke Durbrige ups the ante quite seriously. Winner of a Dauphiné prologue precisely ten years ago, the Australian completes the course at an average speed of 52.56km/h which may allow him to aim for a nice result at the end of the day... but it doesn’t seem to be enough to fend off the expert warming up behind him.
Ganna flies at 53.86kmh
Filippo Ganna quickly shows he’s in a strong form, already putting 19’’ between his time and Durbridge’s after 21km. Some 10km further, the margin had swollen to 39'', and it eventually reached 53'' at the finish. The world champion let his raw power do the talking on a favourable course, almost reaching 54km/h on average over 31.9km to set a time of 35’32’’.
Hayter and company shine for Ineos Grenadiers
The rival who comes the closest to edge Ganna is his own teammate Ethan Hayter. The British ITT champion trails by 30’’ after 21km, and he eventually finishes with a gap of 17’’. He is, so far, the only rider to have been faster than Ganna in the final stretch. Their Ineos Grenadiers teammates Tao Geoghegan Hart (37’03’’) and Michal Kwiatkowski (37’13’’) also get a spot in the provisional top 10, while Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl’s Mattia Cattaneo takes the 3rd place away from Durbridge with a time of 36’25’’ (39’’ behind Ganna). It’s up to the Jumbo-Visma strong rouleurs to try and turn the tables.
Jumbo-Visma can’t get the best of Ganna
Primoz Roglic sets off at 15:46, and Wout van Aert is the last rider to go, 14 minutes later. Their companion Jonas Vingegaard has given them interesting references as he set a time of 36’44’’. Van Aert is off to a flying start, 10’’ ahead of Ganna at the first intermediate point and 18’’ ahead of Roglic, who finishes in the provisional 4th position, with a gap of 41’’ to Ganna. Van Aert is also unable to match the Italian’s pace over the full course, eventually losing for a mere 2’’. The Belgian increases his lead overall, 53’’ ahead of Mattia Cattaneo (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl), while Roglic already moves to P3 (+56’’) ahead of the main mountain stages.

The race: All 148 riders who finished stage two started today's stage. They crossed kilometer 0 at 12:31 PM.
Here's the organizer's stage three report:
Wout van Aert and Jumbo-Visma thought they had done everything right to claim victory at the Chastreix-Sancy ski resort, as the Belgian star raised his arms to celebrate success atop the final climb… only to see David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) jump ahead of him right on the finish line of stage 3 of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2022! The French climber bounces back to victory after his Spring ambitions were affected by crashes and illness.
Second ahead of Victor Lafay (Cofidis), Van Aert claims back the yellow and blue jersey he had lost on stage 2 to Alexis Vuillermoz (TotalEnergies), who couldn’t keep up in the final 2.5km of ascent. His teammates and Van Aert’s had done most of the work to reel in a strong team attack by Pierre Rolland’s B&B Hotels-KTM.
The 148 riders who finished stage 2 in Brives-Charensac are back in action for the start from Saint-Paulien at midday. Four attackers get on the move from the start: Omer Goldstein (Israel Premier Tech), Jonas Wilsly (Uno-X), Thomas Champion (Cofidis) and Sebastian Schönberger (B&B Hotels-KTM). Alexis Vuillermoz’s TotalEnergies quickly react and the gap is only up to 2’30’’ when Goldstein drops back to the bunch, after 20km of racing.
B&B Hotels-KTM give a new life to the battle for the breakaway with a team attack on the first ascent of the day, the cat-3 Côte de Saint-Vert. Pierre Rolland, leader of the KOM standings, attacks with Alexis Gougeard and Miguel Heidemann. At the summit (km 44.7), the trio trail by 3’, and the peloton are 1’30’’ further behind.
B&B Hotels-KTM vs TotalEnergies and Jumbo-Visma
An intense chase ensues, until Rolland, Gougeard and Heidemann join the front of the race at km 64. Behind them, the peloton also ride at a high pace, and the gap is stable around 2’30’’ on the valley leading to the final uphill challenges of the day.
As the race enters the last 50km and the road rises, Heidemann, Gougeard and Champion are dropped one by one. Schönberger sets the pace and Rolland goes first atop the cat-4 Côte de Besse-en-Chandesse (km 136.4).
Jumbo-Visma up the ante inside the last 30km, and the gap drops down to 1’15’’ into the last 20km. With 10km to go, the attackers only lead by 35’’. They are caught on the first slopes of the final ascent of the day, the climb to Chastreix-Sancy. Wilsly is the last attacker to be reeled in, inside the last 5km.
Gaudu edges Van Aert despite Roglic and Vingegaard’s work
Tsgabu Grmay (BikeExchange-Jayco) accelerates with 3.5km to go, Rémi Cavagna (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) immediately counter-attacks, and Ben O’Connor (AG2R-Citroën) also has a go 1.5km away from the finish, but Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic control every move to try and lead Van Aert to a second stage win in three days, while Alexis Vuillermoz (TotalEnergies) can’t keep up with the high pace and is dropped with 2.5km to go.
The Belgian seems to be in a prime position to sprint to victory, despite struggling a bit around the 1km to go mark. He powers ahead of everyone, but he raises his arms just before the line… By his right side, Gaudu makes the most of the situation to take his first Critérium du Dauphiné stage win, ahead of Van Aert and Victor Lafay.

Weather at the finish city of Breves-Charensac at 1:30 PM, local time: 25C (77F), fair, with the wind from the west at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is just a 1% - 7% chance of rain.
The race: All 151 stage one finishers began stage two at 12:35 PM.
Here's the race organizer's stage two summary:
Alexis Vuillermoz (TotalEnergies) enjoyed the most beautiful day on the way to Brives-Charensac, where he won stage 2 of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2022. At 33 years old, the French puncheur bounces back to success in fashion, after a very intense battle against the peloton. Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) was the fastest from the bunch, again, but it only gave him a place of 6, 5 seconds behind the breakaway riders.
Alexis Vuillermoz thus takes the yellow and blue jersey, ahead of Anders Skaarseth (Uno-X) and Olivier Le Gac (Groupama-FDJ), 2nd and 3rd of the stage. This is the first time Vuillermoz takes a distinctive jersey, and he takes his first victory since 2019, after serious struggles and injuries in the recent years. It will be hard battle for the overall leadership on the way to Chastreix-Sancy resort on stage 3, on Tuesday.
The peloton start from Saint-Péray at midday, with 151 riders and sunny conditions. They quickly go through Tournon-sur-Rhône - where Fabio Aru won stage 3 in 2016 - and face uphill roads that inspire the attackers.
After 18km of battle, five riders manage to open a gap: Olivier Le Gac (Groupama-FDJ), Anders Skaarseth (Uno-X), Anthony Delaplace (Arkea-Samsic), Xandres Vervloesem (Lotto Soudal) and Kevin Vermaerke (Team DSM). Alexis Vuillermoz (TotalEnergies) quickly joins them at the front and the gap is up 3’20’’ at km 24.
BikeExchange-Jayco pull, but Groenewegen struggles
Wout van Aert’s Jumbo-Visma set the pace in the bunch on the day after the Belgian star’s dominant sprint in Beauchastel. The breakaway’s lead reaches a maximum of 4’40’’ at km 45, just ahead of the first categorised ascents of the day.
Vervloesem summits first the cat-3 climbs of Désaignes (km 56.2) and Saint-Agrève (km 63.5), but Pierre Rolland (B&B Hotels-KTM) built enough of a lead in the KOM standings on stage 1 to retain the polka-dot jersey if he reaches the finish without incidents.
Chris Harper (Jumbo-Visma) controls the gap until BikeExchange-Jayco sends Tsgabu Grmay at the front of the bunch halfway through the stage. But EF Education-EasyPost and Ineos Grenadiers up the ante on the main ascent of the day, the cat-2 climb to the Col de Mézilhac (11.6km at 4.1%), and the Dutch sprinter is dropped inside the last 3km of ascent. Vervloesem faces the same fate in the breakaway.
Roglic works, Vuillermoz dominates
At the summit (km 109.8), the peloton trail by 3’10’’, and Groenewegen, assisted by his teammates, is 50’’ further behind. The road keeps rising towards Le Gerbier de Jonc and Trek-Segafredo also participate in the chase. At the intermediate sprint (km 124.3), the gap from the attackers to the bunch is down to 1’40’’, and the Groenewegen group trail by another 1’40’’.
The five riders still at the front work well together to enter the last 25km with a lead of 1’35’’. At the bottom of the final climb - the cat-3 Côte de Rohac, to be summited with 9km to go -, the attackers lead by 45’’. Trek-Segafredo set a hard pace and the gap is down to 30’’ over the top… But the attackers maintain that advantage into the last 3km.
Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) also participates in the chase, but it’s too late. Olivier Le Gac launches the sprint 300m away from the line. Alexis Vuillermoz quickly reacts and eventually passes his compatriot just before the line, with Anders Skaarseth squeezing in P2. Wout van Aert is the first rider from the bunch to cross the line, 5 seconds later. The Belgian star loses his yellow and blue jersey to Vuillermoz.

The race: 154 riders started the stage. Soon after the stage began Niklas Märkl (Team DSM) abandoned. Imanol Irviti (Movistar), who crashed badly during the ceremonial roll-out of the stage before the official start, also quit the race.
Here's the race organizer's stage one summary:
Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) raised his arms victoriously as early as stage 1 of the Critérium du Dauphiné 2022, outsprinting Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) and Sean Quinn (EF Education-EasyPost) after an intense day of racing towards Beauchastel. The bunch went all out on the final ascent of the day to drop the main sprinters and battle it out for the first yellow and blue jersey. In the end, Van Aert was the fastest, claiming his fourth stage win in the Critérium du Dauphiné.
Among his previous successes, the Belgian star had already claimed victory on the first day of action in 2020, in Saint-Christo-en-Jarez. He now wants to defend his overall leadership and then hand it over to Primoz Roglic. But the first day already showed the battle should be quite open on the way to Plateau de Solaison, to be reached next Sunday.
The 154 riders of the 74th edition of the Critérium du Dauphiné start under the morning Sun, to face two loops around La Voulte-sur-Rhône and Beauchastel. Attackers quickly get into action but several teams are determined to control the breakaway. The first ascent of the day, Col de Leyrisse (cat-2, summit at km 19.5), sees some strong climbers get away.
Over the top, Pierre Rolland (B&B Hotels-KTM) has managed to open a gap of 1’30’’ to the bunch. Maxime Bouet (Arkea-Samsic) and Laurens Huys (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) are chasing in between the front of the race and the peloton. They quickly bridge the gap to Rolland after the summit and the gap to the bunch is up to 3’10’’ at km 23.
Rolland chases the polka dots
BikeExchange-Jayco quickly take the lead of the bunch to control the break with the support of Jumbo-Visma. They bring the gap down to around 2 minutes, while two riders are forced to early abandons: Niklas Märkl (Team DSM), who was dropped on the first ascent, and Imanol Erviti (Movistar), who suffered a crash in the parade leading to km 0 and then held on for about 30km.
At the front, Roland collects the KOM points on the ascents of Côte des Baraques (km 41) and Côte du Chambon de Bavas (km 93.1), to make sure he will take the polka-dot jersey on the podium if he finishes the stage without incidents. Participating in the Critérium du Dauphiné for the 13th time, the French climber dominated the KOM standings when he first rode it, in 2008.
All out on the Côte du Chambon de Bavas
The attackers go through the finish line for the first time and take on the final 62.7km loop with a lead of 2’05’’. The intensity seriously picks up towards the final ascent of the day, Côte du Chambon de Bavas (km 155.8), again. Trek-Segafredo put the hammer down to get rid of the sprinters.
At the summit, with 36km to go, Rolland leads the way, the peloton trail by 30’’. The main sprinters, including Dylan Groenwegen (BikeExchange-Jayco), are 40’’ further behind.
The early attackers are caught with 32km to go, and more attacks fly at the front. Mikkel Honoré (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) goes solo with 32km to go, but his lead never gets higher than 15’’ and the Danish rider is caught 10km later as Ineos Grenadiers up the pace.
A hard chase and a tight sprint
Groenewegen’s BikeExchange-Jayco and Mozzato’s B&B Hotels-KTM drive a hard chase to bring their sprinters back at the front. The gap is down to 20’’ into the last 8km, but Trek-Segafredo, TotalEnergies and Jumbo-Visma work together to make sure their chasers wouldn't return.
In a reduced bunch, Rémi Cavagna (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) attacks with 1.5km to go. Christophe Laporte reels him for Jumbo-Visma, and Ineos Grenadiers surge to the front with Filippo Ganna and Michal Kwiatkowski trying to launch Ethan Hayter to victory. The plan was very well executed. But Wout van Aert was the fastest.

Chris Froome's Israel-Premier Tech team is presented before the stage start. Froome finished 56th today, in the front group.
Bernard Thevenet was at the start. He not only won the Tour de France in 1975 & 1977, he won the Dauphiné in 1975 & 1976.
TotalEnergies riders waiting for the stage to start.
Stage winner Wout van Aert not only sits up while going incredibly fast at the end of the sprint, he looks around. These men are cut from a different cloth than the rest of us.
Wout van Aert will start stage two in the leader's yellow jersey.
