Weather at the town of Groisy, on the route, 22.5 km from the finish at 1:50 PM, local time: 23C (73F), Partly cloudy, with the wind from the northwest at 11 km/hr (7 mph). There is an 24% chance of the rain the next two hours.

The race: The official start was given to 103 riders at 10:26 AM to 102 riders. Not starting were Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike), Ryan Gibbons (Lidl-Trek), Clement Champoussin (Decathlon-Ag2R), Mark Donovan (Q36.5), Tom Paquot (Intermarché-Wanty) and Harold Tejada (Astana).

Early in the stage Florian Senechal (Arkea-B&B Hotels), Pavel Sivakov (UAE) and Antonio Pedrero (Movistar) abandoned.

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

Primoz Roglic has taken the habit of riding the Criterium du Dauphiné every even year and after losing the race on the last day in 2020, he came close to be toppled again in the final climb to Plateau des Glieres before securing his second victory in the event with a slim eight-seconds lead over Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a bike).

The Slovenian, who already won the Dauphiné in 2022, looked in a comfortable position at the start from Thones, but he faltered in the final ascent to a stronghold of the French Resistance during WWII, under attack from Ineos Grenadiers, who managed to snatch the final stage with Carlos Rodriguez. The Bora-Hansgrohe leader fought hard to salvage his yellow and blue jersey ahead of Paris-Nice winner Jorgenson while Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) became the first Canadian on the race podium. Italy’s Lorenzo Fortunato (Astana) clinched the polka-dot jersey as the best climber in this 76th edition.

Eleven in the lead
The start was given at 10:26 to 103 riders. Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike), Ryan Gibbons (Lidl-Trek), Clement Champoussin (Decathlon-Ag2R), Mark Donovan (Q36.5), Tom Paquot (Intermarché-Wanty) and Harold Tejada (Astana) did not start.

Several attempts took place in the 1st category Col de la Forclaz (km 14.2). Near the top, a group of five emerged, including Bart Lemmen (Visma-Lease a bike), Marc Soler (UAE Emirates), Nicolas Prodhomme (Decathlon-Ag2R), Sean Quinn (EF Education-Easypost), and polka-dot jersey holder Lorenzo Fortunato (Astana). They were chased by Tim Wellens (UAE-Emirates), Bruno Armirail (Decathlon-AG2R), David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ), Omar Fraile (Ineos Grenadiers), Eduardo Sepulveda (Lotto Dstny) and Guillaume Martin (Cofidis). The two groups merged after 25 km.

Fortunato collects KOM points
At the top of La Forclaz, Fortunato added 10 points to his KOM tally and took two more in the follow 3rd category ascent, Col des Esserieux, to lead the best climber’s classification by 10 points at that stage. Six more riders, Pavel Sivakov (UAE), Antonio Pedrero (Movistar), Florian Senechal (Arkea), Toms Skujins (Lidl-Trek), Vito Braet (Intermarché) and Tobias Ludvigsson (Q36.5) called it quits in the valley. At the intermediate sprint (Km 52.7), David Gaudu was in front as the peloton was more than three minutes adrift. The gap reached a maximum of 4:00 in the valley before the Saleve climb (1st cat. Km 103.1) in which Fortunato and Prodhomme were dropped and at the top of which Soler was leading the way.

Roglic falters
The peloton, led by Ineos-Grenadiers, raised the tempo and the gap at the top was down to 2:05 and reached 1:40 with 50 km to go when the British outfit decided to drop the chase. At the bottom of the last climb, the nine leaders only held a 45-seconds advantage on the bunch controlled by Roglic’s team-mates and by an hyperactive Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek). The break disintegrated in the climb while Quinn and Martin tried to go together. At the back, Ciccone attacked with 8 km to go, caught the escapees and went on his own. But the Italian was reined in three kilometres later, when Laurens de Plus took the reins, with Carlos Rodriguez on his heels. The twofold attack left Roglic staggering and the Slovenian could not react when the two Ineos Grenadiers went with Matteo Jorgenson, Derek Gee and Santiago Buitrago.  The American worked hard with Rodriguez and Gee to increase the gap and led the way in the final stretch, only to be overtaken by Rodriguez on the line. Roglic crossed the line 48 seconds later for a close call GC victory. 

Carlos Rodriguez wins the final stage.

And Primoz Roglic keeps his yellow jersey by just 8 seconds!

Weather at the city of Verchaix, on the route, 15 km from the finish, at 1:40 PM, local time: 17C (62F), rain, with the wind from the south-southwest at 10 km/hr (6 mph). The chance for rain drops to 20% at 3:00 PM.

The race: Tao Geoghegan Hart (Lidl-Trek), Hugo Toumire (Cofidis), Logan Currie (Lotto Dstny) & Clément Russo (Groupama-FDJ) did not start. Early in the stage Ilan Van Wilder (Soudal Quick-Step), Emils Liepins (Team dsm-firmenich PostNL) abandoned. Later on Clément Berthet (Decathlon Ag2r), Cristian Rogriguez (Arkea-B&B Hotels), Kenny Ellisonde (Cofidis), Anthon Charmig (Astana Qazaqstan) & Filippo Conca (Q36.5 Pro Cycling) also quit the race.

After I finished this update, other riders continued to abandon. In all, there were 21 fewer finishers today than the day before.

Here's the race organizer's stage 7 summary:

Primoz Roglic was definitely too strong for his rivals in the “queen stage”of the 76th Criterium du Dauphiné, surging in the final stretch to win his second mountain stage in succession at the top of Samoens 1,600 on Saturday. Despite a brave solo attempt by Spaniard Marc Soler (UAE), who was caught with 2 km to go in this 155.3-km rider from Albertville, the big guns were left to battle it out in the last kilometre and the Bora-Hansgrohe leader shot the last bullet. On the line, he beat American Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a bike), who took the white jersey over from struggling Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) while green jersey holder Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) was third. Overall, the Slovenian leads Jorgenson by 1:02 with stage 4 winner Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) third, 1:13 off the pace.

Ten riders lead the way on Les Saisies
The real start was given at 10:29 to 122 riders. Tao Geoghegan Hart (Lidl-Trek), Anders Skaarseth (Uno-X), Logan Currie (Lotto Dstny), Clement Russo (Groupama-FDJ), Hugo Toumire (Cofidis), Christophe Juul Jensen and Blake Quick (Jayco AlUla) and Abner Umba (Astana) did not start. The stage kicked off to a fast start, which saw several attempts involving former stage winners like Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek) or Magnus Cort (Uno-X) or KOM leader Mathis Le Berre (Arkea) while led Ilan Van Wilder (Soudal-Quick Step) was forced to call it quits.   In the first category Col des Saisies, five riders broke clear. They were Marc Soler (UAE), Davide Formolo (Movistar), Lorenzo Fortunato (Astana), Nicolas Prodhomme (Decathlon-AG2R) and Darren Rafferty (EF Education-Easypost). They were joined by Kevin Geniets (Groupama-FDJ) and Warren Barguil (DSM) at kilometre 31, by Guillaume Martin (Cofidis) and Koen Bouwman (Visma-Lease a bike) at the top of Col des Saisies (Km 33.5) and by Dorian Godon (Decathlon-Ag2R) in the descent. Fortunato was first at the top, ahead of Barguil.

Soler goes solo
As several more riders, including Neilson Powless (EF Education) and Cristian Rodriguez (Arkea), also called it quits, the peloton was 3:00 behind on the road to Megève while KOM leader Le Berre, Mathijs Paasschens (Lotto Dstny) and Mark Donovan (Q36.5) were less than a minute adrift. Only Donovan managed to make it back on the front in the descent of Cote d'Arâches (km 92), on which Fortunato collected 10 more points. In Cote de la Ramaz, as Soler upped the tempo, Donovan and Martin were dropped by the leading group. Eight kilometres from the summit, Marc Soler decided to go for it, first with Barguil, then on his own. The Spaniard, 3:45 adrift overall at the start, reached the top of La Ramaz with a lead of 1:30 over his former companions Fortunato, Barguil, Rafferty, Bouwman, Formolo and Prodhomme and 5:30 over the peloton.

Km 100: It's a wet day as a much reduced peloton rides towards the Col de la Ramaz. Bora-hansgrohe controls the front with about seven riders off the front.

Soler caught
Soler held a two-minutes lead over his nearest rivals at the foot of the last climb and while the battle for the stage win was over, the GC battle started in the final ascent. With 7 km to go, white jersey holder Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) was dropped by the peloton, along with Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike) or Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious), who lost ground earlier.  In the last five kilometres, the peloton reined in all the escapees, except Soler, who retained a two-minute lead. But the 2018 Paris-Nice winner faltered and was finally caught with 2 km to go by Primoz Roglic, Alekzander Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe), Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a bike), Giulio Ciccone (Lidl Trek), Oier Lazkano and Javier Romo (Movistar), Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain), Mikel Landa (Soudal-Quick Step), Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech), Laurens De Plus and Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers).

The lead group near the finish as escapee Marc Soler is caught.

In the final stretch, Spanish champion Lazkano was the first to attack but he was immediately countered by Matteo Jorgenson and by Primoz Roglic, who overtook the American to clinch his second stage victory in two days and strengthen his overall lead on the eve of the final stage to Plateau des Glieres. 

Primoz Roglic wins stage 7.

Weather at the city of Pontcharra, on the route, 28 km from the finish at 2:00 PM, local time: 26C (77F), showers in the vicinity, with the wind from the north-northeast at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 30% chance of rain, growng to 40% by 5:00.

The race: 140 riders completed stage five. Axel Mariault (Cofidis), Laurens Huys (Arkea), Rémy Rochas (Groupama-FDJ), Steven Kruijswisk and Dylan van Baarle (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Abner Umba (Astana) were forced out with injuries. Team Visma-Lease a bike confirmed that Kruisjwijk had a slight fracture in his hip while Van Baarle broke his collarbone.

While seven riders did not complete stage 5 after yesterday’s massive crash, several more were unable to start from Hauterives this morning. Jasha Sutterlin, Rainer Kepplinger and Kamil Gradek are out of the Criterium du Dauphiné, their Barhain Victorious team said on X. Sutterlin sustained a fractured hip and Gradek fractured his hand.  There were no immediate news on Kepplinger’s condition.

EF Education-Easypost will start without Lukas Nerurkar, who tested positive for Covid and Harry Sweeny, who has respiratory problems.

Also out of the race are Odd Christian Eiking (Uno-X) and Kobe Goosens (Intermarché-Wanty), Milan Menten (Lotto Dstny) and Juan Ayuso (UAE team Emirates).

The real start was given to the remaining 132 riders at 12:55 PM. Early in the stage Alex Kirsch (Lidl-Trek) abandoned.

Here's the race organizer's stage 6 summary:

The 2022 Criterium du Dauphiné winner is back in command: Primoz Roglic surged in the gruelling final climb to Le Collet d’Allevard to snatch his second stage win on the race and dislodge Belgian arch-rival Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) from top spot. As planned, the outcome of the race was decided in the last ascent, in which Frenchman Romain Gregoire remained the last escapee standing until 3 km to go.

But then the GC leaders launched the big battle and Roglic, with a little help from Bora-Hansgrohe team-mate Aleksandr Vlasov, took the upper hand, crossing the line ahead of Italy’s Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek). Overall, Roglic now leads Evenepoel by 19 seconds and Paris-Nice winner Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a bike) by 58 seconds ahead of the queen stage of this edition to Samoens on Saturday.

Six-man breakaway
The start was given to 132 riders at 12:55. Juan Ayuso (UAE Emirates), Jasha Sutterlin, Rainer Kepplinger and Kamil Gradek (Bahrain), Lukas Nerurkar and Harry Sweeny (EF Education-Easypost), Odd Christian Eiking (Uno-X) and Kobe Goosens (Intermarché-Wanty) did not start. From the flag, six riders parted with the peloton – Magnus Cort (Uno-X), Romain Grégoire (Groupama-FDJ), Thibault Guernalec (Arkea-B&B Hotels), Arjen Livyns (Lotto Dtsny), Mason Hollyman (Israel-Premier Tech), Alessandro Fancellu (Q36.5).  The peloton resisted for a few kilometres but finally let the break go and it gradually increased, to reach 3:45 at the top of the first climb, on which Guernalec picked a point (km 36.1).  Alex Kirsch (Lidl-Trek) and Andreas Kron (Lotto Dstny) called it quits after an hour of racing. 

Crash in the descent
The six worked perfectly together and their lead reached a maximum of 5:55 after 105 km. The intermediate sprint of the day (Les Echelles, km 105.3) was won by Magnus Cort, who collected 10 points and moved provisionally to the top of the points standings on 41 points. On Col du Granier (2nd cat, Km 129.4), Guernalec was in the lead ahead of Gergoire, but the Arkea-B&B Hotels rider and Hollyman missed a corner in the descent and crashed. They were both back on their bikes but struggled to make it back to the front.

Gregoire on his own
There was another fright for the escapees as they went the wrong way with 30 km to go but were quickly back on the course and did not lose too much time on the peloton, which had split briefly in the descent. The five escapees only had 1:30 left as they tackled the final climb and Romain Gregoire attacked from the bottom, followed by Magnus Cort. At the back, Tao Geoghegan Hart (Lidl-Trek) and Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a bike) were among the first leaders to be dropped. With 8 km to go, stage 1 winner Cort finally lost ground, leaving his French breakaway companion on his own in the front.

Primoz Roglic wins the stage and is the new GC leader.

Roglic takes over
Ineos Grenadiers seized the reins at the front of the pack in the last 8 km and Gregoire’s lead gradually dwindled. With 5 km to go, Laurens de Plus attacked, followed by Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe). Two kilometres later, Roglic, Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech), Ciccone, Jorgenson and Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) went up a gear and dropped yellow and blue jersey holder Remco Evenepoel. With two kilometres to go Ciccone and Roglic made it back on De plus and Vlasov, who decided to work for his leader and lead the way into the finale. Perfectly led out, Roglic easily dropped Ciccone in the final stretch to snatch his second stage victory on the Dauphiné, a race he won in 2022. Evenepoel crossed the line 42 seconds behind the Slovenian.

Weather at the finish city of Saint-Priest at 2:00 PM, local time: 22C (71F), showers in the vicinity, with occasional thunderstorms likely over the next several hours. The likelihood of rain drops to 54% by 5:00 PM. The wind is from the south at 13 km/hr (8 mph). About an hour and a half into the stage heavy rain fell on the peloton.

The race: Luke Durbridge (Jayco AlUla) did not start. 147 riders were given the real start at 10:33 AM. Late in the stage Milan Menten (Lotto Dstny) abandoned.

After a big crash on the the wet roads of the descent of the Côte de Bel-Air the race was neutralized. Remco Evenepoel, the race leader was involved in the crash, as well as Primoz Roglic, Juan Ayuso, Dylan Van Baarle, Neilson Powless, Tim Wellens, Magnus Cort or Jasha Sutterlin.

Steven Kruijswijk (Visma-Lease a bike) was among the most affected by the crash and went into the race ambulance while team-mate Dylan van Baarle seems to suffer from a shoulder injury.

Here is the race organizer's report:

The 167-km 5th stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné was neutralised after a crash in the peloton and organisers decided that no times would be taken on the line in St Priest while no winner would be crowned. The peloton rode to the finish line under the escort of the Garde Republicaine. The crash took place with 21 km to go and sent many riders to the ground. Among them, Dutch riders Steven Kruijswijk and Dylan van Baarle (both Visma-Lease a bike) were forced out.

At the moment of the crash, KOM leader Mathis Le Berre (Arkea-B&B Hotels) and Tobias Bayer (Alpecin-Deceuninck) were leading the race, the Frenchman having strengthened his polka-dot jersey along the way. Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) will lead the race with a 33-seconds lead over Primoz Roglic (Bora-Hansgrohe) at the start of stage 6 in Hauterives on Friday.  

Three in the lead
The start was given at 10:33 to 147 riders. Luke Durbridge (Jayco AlUla) did not start. KOM leader Mathis Le Berre (Arkea-B&B Hotels) went from the flag with Tobias Bayer (Alpecin-Deceuninck). They were rapidly joined by Adne Holter (Uno-X) but the peloton was jittery and refused to let them go at first. They finally received the go-ahead after 14 km and held a maximum lead of four minutes after 20 km. Bayer was fastest at the intermediate sprint (km 32) as the gap with the bunch had settled at around three minutes.

Le Berre collects KOM points
Le Berre used the break to make a clean sweep of KOM points and picked one in the 4th category Cote de Croix de Signy (Km 49.7), five on Cote de Duerne (2nd cat. Km 76.2), two more in Cote de Givors (km 111.5) and a last one on Cote de Bel-Air (Km 144). On 24 points, the Frenchman is virtually certain to retain his polka-dot jersey at the end of stage 6 as only 21 points will be up for grabs and none of the GC contenders (except Aleksandr Vlasov - 1) have scored KOM points yet.   The chase was mostly led by Carlos Verona (Lidl-Trek) and Nicolas Prodhomme (Decathlon-AG2R), working for their sprinters Mads Pedersen and Sam Bennett. With 75 km to go, Holter slipped, crashed and lost contact with his breakaway companions but closed the gap 10 km further down the road.  

The scene of the crash

Race neutralized
The rain played a major part in the finale as Bayer took advantage of the slippery descents to drop Le Berre and Holter, while a first crash in the bunch halted Neilson Powless (EF Education-Easypost), Andreas Kron (Lotto Dstny) or Harold Tejada (Astana), forcing the pack to slow down. Bayer and Le Berre joined forces again with 33 km left and went on until the final climb. With 21 km to go, a massive pile-up took place in the peloton and organisers decided to neutralise the race. Remco Evenepoel, the overall race leader was involved in the crash, as well as other GC contenders like Primoz Roglic, Juan Ayuso (UAE Emirates) or Powless. None of them were seriously injured but Steven Kruijswijk and Dylan van Baarle (both Visma-Lease a bike) were forced out of the race.

Stage 5 photos

Given the crash which took place in the peloton and the shortage of ambulances, race organisers decided to neutralize stage 5. The riders will go to the finish line under the escort of the Garde Republicaine: “The race is neutralized, there will not be times taken at the finish and no winner in this stage,” organisers said. Points taken during the day in the mountain classification will be counted

GC after stage 5: Unchanged from the end of stage 4.

Weather at the finish city of Neulise at 1:40 PM, local time: 24C (75F), sunny, with the wind from the southwest at 6 km/hr (4 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: Chris Harper (Jayco AlULa) did not start. He crashed in yesterday's stage and suffered abrasions to his hands. His team's medical staff decided that he should not start.

The first rider off was Jensen Plowright (Alpecin-Deceuninck)

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

World champion Remco Evenepoel seized the Criterium du Dauphiné’s reins thanks to another impressive time trial display on the 34.4-km course between St Germain-Maval and Neulise on Wednesday. Despite nursing a shoulder injury, The Belgian perfectly timed his effort to beat European champion and early started Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers), who stayed in the hot seat for two hours before conceding defeat for 17 seconds. Olympic champion Primoz Roglic (Bora Hansgrohe) was third, 39 seconds adrift. The Soudal-Quick Step leader now leads the GC standings with a 33-seconds lead over Roglic while American Matteo Jorgenson is third, 1:04 behind.

Tarling in the hot seat  
Jensen Plowright (Alpecin-Deceuninck) was the first rider in action, but all eyes were on the man starting three minutes behind him, European champion Joshua Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers). The Briton set the bar really high, quickly overtaking the three riders who started ahead of him to set fastest marks of 10:44 and 30:03 after 10 km and 25 km before crossing the line in 42:06, at an average speed of 49.03 kph. The real race against the clock started then for Tarling – waiting for nearly two and a half hours for the rest of the peloton to complete the course.

Evenepoel too strong
His time did not look in jeopardy – Matteo Sobrero (Bora-Hansgrohe) was the first one to finish within two minutes of the Briton – until Remco Evenepoel, the man who had beaten him into third place at the last world championships, started and clocked a slightly fastest time at the 10-km mark (two seconds faster). While nursing a shoulder injury, the Belgian looked in good shape in his favourite event, and was only a second adrift after 24.9 km. He finished faster than everyone, to cross the line 17 seconds faster than the European champion, at an average speed of 49.4 kph.

Flat-backed Remco Evenepoel on his ride.

Roglic limits the damage
Primoz Roglic had a more cautious start but finished well and the 2022 Dauphiné winner limited the damage to finish on the day’s podium and stay in contention ahead of a gruelling last weekend with three high-mountain finishes. The hierarchy and the current form also plead for Paris-Nice winner Jorgenson, who managed a promising 4th place, 1:07 slower than the Belgian, to settle into third place overall and assert himself as the Visma-Lease a bike leader for now.

Stage 4 winner Derek Gee, the Canadian time trial champion for the last two years, was an excellent 6th on the line, 1:24 adrift, and is now just outside the GC podium, seven seconds behind Jorgenson. The day was a slight disappointment for Spaniards Juan Ayuso (UAE Emirates) and Carlos Rodriguez (Ineos Grenadiers) now 1:27 and 1:41 adrift in the general classification. By contrast Spanish champion Oier Lazkano was an unexpected 5th on the day and lies in the same place overall, 1:21 adrift. Thursday’s 167-km from Amplepuis to St Priest will be the last chance for the sprinters to have their say.

Weather at the finish at Les Estables at 2:00 PM, local time: 15C (59F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the northwest at 8 km/hr (5 mph). There is a 1% chance of rain, growing to 16% by 5:00 PM.

The race: Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) did not start. His team released this statement: “After achieving his primary objectives of securing the white jersey and finishing in the top five in his home Grand Tour, the Giro, he aimed to build on his performance with a strong showing at the Dauphiné. However, he found himself unable to keep up with the main contenders due to fatigue following the Giro. Consequently, Antonio and the team have decided to shift his focus to other targets later in the season after enjoying some deserved rest and recuperation.”

That left 151 riders in the race, who were given thier official start at 12:35.

At km 41 Primoz Roglic crashed. He was given a new bike and was quickly back in the peloton.

Here's the race organizer's stage 3 report:

Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) showed that boldness finally pays off when he surged in the finale to clinch the 181.7-km 3rd stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné on Tuesday. The Canadian, crowned the most aggressive rider of the Giro in 2023, won a tense battle with Frenchman Romain Gregoire in the final stretch to raise his arms and take the yellow and blue jersey away from Magnus Cort (Uno-X). Briton Lukas Nerurkar was third. 

The peloton covered 48 kilometers the first hour.

Roglic crashes
The start was given at 12:35 to 151 riders. Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) did not start. After a few unsuccessful attempts, by Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), Dorian Godon (Decathlon-Ag2R) and Darren Rafferty (EF Education-Easypost) among others, the bunch tackled the first climb together, Nicolas Prodhomme (Decathlon-AG2R) scoring the first KOM point of the day. After 32 km, the breakaway of the day went for good. It included Prodhomme, Rémy Rochas (Groupama-FDJ) and Harry Sweeny (EF Education-Easypost), who were finally given the go-ahead after Primoz Roglic (Bora-Hansgrohe) crashed and changed bikes (km 41).

Leading trio
The 2022 Dauphiné winner returned to the peloton bruised while the three increased their lead, which reached 2:50 in Ambert (km 54). At the intermediate sprint of Arlanc (Km 75.8), Prodhomme collected three seconds ahead of Rochas and Sweeny as the trio were leading the pack by 3:10. The hardest climb of the day was Cote de St Victor sur Arlanc (2dn cat.) at km 87.6 and it was Rochas who picked the five points up for grabs at the top. By then the trio’s lead had dwindled to 2:30 over the pack, led by polka-dot jersey holder Mathis Le Berre, who scavenged a point. In the descent, Lars Boven (Alpecin-Deceuninck), who had been struggling all day, called it quits.

Juul Jensen joins in
Magnus Cort’s Uno-X team-mates kept controlling the break, keeping the gap around a minute. But with 40 km to go, wary of this cat-and-mouse game, Christopher Juul Jensen (Jayco AlUla) and Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) surged from the peloton to try and catch the break. While the Dane joined the trio with 36 km left, the French champion failed in his attempt and was reeled in. Chris Harper (Jayco AlUla) crashed 28 km from the line but was unhurt and brought back to the front by his team-mates. In the last 20 km, Rochas was dropped by the breakaway group, leaving his three companions in the lead while his compatriot Adrien Petit quit the race.

Derek Gee wins stage three.

Gee!
With 15 km to go, Ineos Grenadiers and UAE Team Emirates decided to raise the tempo and the trio’s lead melted. Lidl-Trek then took over as well, Mads Pedersen leading the way, and the break’s gap went down to 20 seconds, 5 km from the finish line. The break was finally over with 2.5 km left.  The stage was set for an exciting finale and Krists Neilands (Israel-Premier Tech) was the first to start the fireworks. His effort was as bit presumptuous but it set the pace for team-mate Derek Gee to go for it, wheel to wheel with Romain Gregoire. The Frenchman first appeared to have the upper hand but Gee had an extra gear left and he went on to clinch his best victory to date.

Weather at the city of Saint-Georges-en-Couzan, on the route, 19 km from the finish, at 1:40 PM, local time: 12C (54F), cloudy, with the wind from the north at 13 km/hr (8 mph). There is an 8% chance of rain.

The race: Here's the organizer's stage 2 summary.

Magnus Cort came out of the fog to upstage French escapee Bruno Armirail in the last stretch, win the 142-km second stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné at Col de la Loge and complete a sweep of stages on French roads.  Already a stage winner on the Tour de France and Paris-Nice, the most famous moustache in the peloton took advantage of the perfect work by his Uno-X team in the final climb to cross the line ahead of Primoz Roglic (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Paris-Nice winner Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike). The Dane took the yellow and blue jersey away from compatriot Mads Pedersen, who lost ground in the climb to Col de la Loge.

At the start Sam Bennett takes a selfie, capturing a very yellow race leader Mads Pedersen.

Five-man breakaway
The real start was given at 13:30 to 152 riders. Bruno Armirail (Decathlon-Ag2R), Mathis Le Berre (Arkea), Jonas Gregaard (Lotto Dstny), Xandro Meurisse (Alpecin) and Filippo Conca (Q36.5) parted with the pack from the flag and their lead quickly increased to reach a maximum of 5:20 after 34 km.  In the first of four climbs of the day, Cote de Fagot (Km 45.1, 3rd cat), Le Berre took the two points on offer ahead of Meurisse while the peloton was 4:25 adrift.  The Frenchman collected five more on the Col de Saint-Thomas (Km 67.4) to take the lead in the KOM classification.

Le Berre collects KOM points
The intermediate sprint of the day in St Thurin (km 100.9) went to Filippo Conca, who picked the ten points and three seconds up for grabs ahead of Armirail and Meurisse. At that stage, the escapees lead was down to 3:10. In the penultimate climb, Cote de St Georges en Couzan, Quentin Pacher (Groupama-FDJ) raised the tempo at the front of the pack and the peloton dropped several riders, including polka-dot jersey holder Mark Donovan.  At the top, Le Berre picked five more points as the pack was just a minute behind and made sure to take the KOM jersey away from the Briton.

The peloton at km 74: Five riders are off the front and Yellow Jersey Mads Pedersen has lot of Lidl-Trek teammates close by.

Armirail goes
At the bottom of the final climb, Col de la Croix Ladret, Armirail attacked on his own and dropped his former breakaway companions, who were reined in by the pack with 8 km to go. Race leader Mads Pedersen was dropped by the peloton 500 metres from the top of the last hill and the French escapee held on as the main GC riders kept watching each other. Armirail retained a 25 seconds lead with 5 km to go and was still leading the way with 300 metres left as the fog made the visibility very poor. He hardly saw the peloton rush past, led by Magnus Cort, who outpaced Roglic and the other favourites to win his first race in his new Uno-X colours.

Weather at the start/finish city of Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule at 1:50 PM, local time: 14C (58F), cloudy, with the wind from the northwest at 14 km/hr (9 mph). There is a 22% chance of rain.

The race: The start was given to 154 riders at 12:45.

The peloton is given its official start.

Here's the organizer's stage 1 summary:

Out of action since the classics, Denmark’s Mads Pedersen staged the perfect return to outsprint the rest of the peloton and win the 172.5-km first stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné for his 8th victory of the season. The former world champion, perfectly led-out by his Lidl-Trek team-mates outwitted and overpowered Sam Bennett (Decathlon-AG2R) and Hugo Page on the line. It was the first stage win on the Dauphiné for Pedersen, who will wear the yellow and blue jersey in Monday’s second stage to Col de la Loge. Briton Mark Donovan broke clear from the start to tackle the first climbs of the race in the lead and clinch the first KOM jersey in this edition. 

Donovan goes
The start was given to 154 riders at 12:45. Mark Donovan (Q36.5) was the first escapee of this Dauphiné as he attacked after 4 km. The peloton let him go, to the exception of Mathis Le Berre (Arkea), who chased behind him and finally caught the Briton after 32 km. Donovan, who led the pack by a maximum of 4:55, took the 5 KOM points on offer in the three climbs of the day, with Le Berre collecting two. As a result, Donovan became the first holder of the polka-dot jersey in this Dauphiné.

Two in the lead
As the leading pair headed for the only intermediate sprint of the day in Chantelle (km 77) – Le Berre winning ahead of Donovan –, the bunch, led by Lidl-Trek and Decathlon-AG2R riders, had made it back within three minutes of the break. A crash involved Toms Skujins (Lidl-Trek) and Kobe Goosens (Intermarché-Wanty) at kilometre 87, and Alexander Edmondson (DSM) was the first rider to call it quits in this Dauphiné. The lead gradually went down as Sam Bennett suffered a puncture (45 km to go) and when the peloton crossed the finish line for the second time, the gap was down to 1:20.

Mads Pedersen the strongest
The leading duo were reined in with 16km to go as the peloton started gearing up for the bunch sprint. A crash 20 km from the line involved Steven Kruijswijk, Luca Vergallito, Kenny Elissonde and James Whelan (Q36.5), who was forced out of the race. With 12 km remaining, Nils Politt (UAE) and Marco Haller (Bora-Hansgrohe) attacked on a small hill but were reined in two kilometres later by the sprinter teams, who took turns at the front of the pack. But in the final kilometre, Lidl-Trek seized the reins and put Mads Pedersen in a perfect position. Sam Bennett took the Dane’s wheel but could never overtake him and prevent him from clinching his 7th win in France this season.
