Saturday, August 16: 4th and Final Stage, Nantua - Arbent, 130.7 km
The Race: Romain Bardet had said he would try to erase his 54-second deficit to Bert-Jan Lindeman and win the 2014 Tour de l'Ain. Indeed he did give it his best, but in the end he came up eleven seconds short. L'Equipe's headline summed it up: Bardet Reste Bon Dauphin. Bert-Jan Lindeman is the winner of this year's Tour de l'Ain.
Julian Alaphilippe was part of the seven-man break that included the tenacious Bardet and the Omega Pharma rider was able to outdistance his fellow breakaways to win the final stage.

Stage 4 profile
Friday, August 15: Stage 3, Lagnieu - Lelex Monts Jura, 141.8 km
The Race: Before striking out on his own, Dutchman Bert-Jan Lindeman broke away with Jordi Simon (Ecuador) and Julien El Fares (La Pomme-Marseille).
Last year's winner, Romain Bardet, went after Lindeman on the day's final climb, the first-category Menthières, but could not close the gap of the fleeing Dutchman.
After the hilly stage in the Jura mountains, Lindeman is the GC leader over Bardet by 54 seconds. Bardet has not given up, noting that his Ag2r squad is a powerful presence at this year's Tour de l'Ain and taking back the minute during tomorrow's final stage is not impossible. Complicated, he admitted, but not impossible.

Thursday, August 14: Stage 2, Ekinox (Bourg-en-Bresse) - Saint Vulbas, 158.5 km
The Race: Omega Pharma's Gianni Meersman is enjoying formidable form right now. He's won the Tour de l'Ain's prologue time trial and the second stage, making four victories in two weeks. He has the added luxury of being helped in the sprints by Mark Cavendish.
Meersman holds the lead, which has been his since the prologue, but tomorrow the race heads into the hills of the Jura and potentially bad weather. There the powerful Meersman will be at a disadvantage. Expect some serious changes to the GC.
L'Equipe quotes Jerome Coppel who wondered if Rigoberto Uran, who is in fourth place, down 17 seconds and a superb climber, will try to take the lead. Noting the potentially dangerous conditions Coppel speculated that with the Vuelta around the corner that Uran might just play it safe and stay out of trouble.

Wednesday, August 13: Stage 1, Domaine de Chalain - La Plaine Tonique, 143.4 km
The Race: Indeed, this was a day for the Dutch! Not only did Dutchmen win the stage and take the GC lead at the Eneco Tour, but Holland's Raymond Kreder won Stage One of the Tour de l'Ain.
Race leader Gianni Meersman, with the help of teammates Julian Alaphilippe and Mark Cavendish, tried to win the stage, but was having an off-day and had to yield to Kreder and FDJ's new intern Marc Sarreau. But, with third place Meersman did pick up four bonus seconds, slightly padding his overall lead, now six seconds over Julian Alaphilippe.
