Stage 7 preview: Morzine → Châtel, 125 km (Mountain)

June 9 update: Stage 7, the final stage of this year's race features the only uphill finish of the week to Châtel, a valley ski town on the border with Switzerland. As you can see from the finish profile, the uphill finish is only 1.5 km long @ 8.7% after a gradual drag so by itself it shouldn't have much of an impact on the general classification. There is a cat 1 in the second half of the stage and five categorized climbs overall which should provide for another entertaining mountain stage. As usual, you can explore the climbs below. Currently, Chris Froome is 12s back of Cadel Evans for 3rd who is looking to deny Team Sky a podium sweep, something rarely done at this level of competition. Look for a break to succeed, another chance for the likes of David Moncoutie. — Steve

Stage 6 preview: Saint-Alban-Leysse → Morzine, 167 km (Mountain)

June 8 update: Of the three mountain stages, this is the most interesting. There are six categorized climbs including the HC Col de Joux Plane (profile), a narrow climb (streetview image above) which crests just 12 km before a technical descent (map and profile) down to the finish in Morzine. Both Col de Joux Plane and Morzine are often featured in the Tour de France. This stage will be the biggest threat to Bradley Wiggins' quest for the overall win. Note the early live video time below. — Steve

Stage 5 preview: Saint-Trivier-sur-Moignans → Rumilly, 187 km (Mountain)

June 7 update: Stage 5 is the first of the three mountain stages to conclude this year's Dauphine. The highlight of this stage will be arduous Col du Grand Colombier (17.4 km @ 7.2 %), at the midpoint, which has never been used in this race. There are three climbs in total which you can explore below, but the climbing ends with 46 km still to go so it's likely the GC contenders will arrive together for the flat finish in the Rumilly. By the way, Col du Grand Colombier will also be used in this year's Tour de France. — Steve

Stage 3 preview: Givors → La Clayette, 167 km (lumpy/flat)

June 5 update: Stage 3 heads north from Givors to La Clayette, south of the Burgundy region. After a few minor categorized climbs in the first half of the stage, the profile levels out for what should be the only sprint of the week. However, it will not be straight-forward; there is some pavé, twists and a left hand bend 400m from the finish. Also, there is a 90% chance of rain. Tony Gallopin (Radioshack-Nissan) has been 5th and 3rd the last two days, this could be his stage to win although a pure sprinter like Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ-Big Mat) should take it. — Steve

Stage 2 preview: Lamastre → Saint-Félicien, 160 km (hilly)

June 4 update: Some of the most twisty roads you'll ever encounter can be found in the Ardèche region of France, the setting for Stage 2. Besides featuring six categorized climbs, the same number but harder than stage 1, take a look at the stage map and you'll see how technical this leg will be. Starting from Lamastre, a small town "fiercely protective of its peaceful environment" located south of Lyon and west of Valence, we'll head south and then loop back north for a nauseating 160 km through the hilly Ardèche. This isn't a good day for a ride in a team car.

The finish in tiny Saint-Félicien will feature a 2.5 km @ 4.4 % uphill finish at the end of a 26 km finishing circuit to cap off a tricky stage. Expect a break to succeed. This is a rural stage with the combined population of the start and finish hosts being just 3,875 inhabitants and the route is almost identical to the annual L'Ardechoise Sportif which starts and finishes in Saint-Félicien. — Steve

Stage 1 preview: Seyssins → Saint-Vallier, 187 km (lumpy)

June 3 update: Stage 1 starts in Seyssins, southwest of Grenoble, before snaking west and north of the Vercors, a unheralded cycling area also known as the French Prealps. There are six (modest) categorized climbs that will provide plenty of opportunities to split the race. The final climb, a cat 3, crests just 9 km from the finish where the final 5 km are slightly downhill into Saint-Vallier. There are a few twists and turns before the flat finish so, all-and-all, it should be an entertaining stage. — Steve

March 27 update: The 2012 Critérium du Dauphiné route was announced today with host towns, distances and profiles for stages 2, 4, 5, 6, 7 and the route map. There are a couple hilltop finishes but no summit finishes. There are some big climbs though. As usual, there is a long time trial. More to come...

This is the third year that the ASO will run "The Dauphine" after adding it to its growing stable of races in 2010. I assume you know they also run big races like Paris-Roubaix, Paris-Nice, the Super Bowl of cycling (Le Tour de France) and many other races. Previously, Critérium du Dauphiné was a relatively low key race put on by the regional newspaper, Le Dauphiné Libéré who weren't interested or didn't have the resources to properly market this fine event. Based in the old Dauphine region in southeastern France, most people now refer to this area as the French Alps, but it encompasses a wider area.
