Stage 7 preview: Le Pont-de-Claix → Superdévoluy, 188 km (Mountain)

June 7 update: The race concludes this weekend with two high mountain stages in the French Alps. First up is a route heading south from Le Pont-de-Claix featuring a HC climb up the famous Alpe d'Huez (photos and ride report), the cat 2 Col de Sarenne (photos and ride report), two cat 1's followed by the cat 3 (4 km at 5.7%) uphill finish to Superdévoluy, a ski resort. With almost 4000m of climbing, albeit front-loaded, lets call this the Queen Stage. — Steve

Stage 6 preview: La Léchère → Grenoble, 143 km (flat/hilly)

June 6 update: Stage 6 is a flat then hilly stage with four categorized climbs starting at the halfway point along a 143 km southerly course which finishes with a descent and then flat finish in Grenoble. Unlike some of the race announcers, I'll predict a break succeeds as it often does in Grenoble, the most popular stage host in the history of this race. — Steve

Stage 5 preview: Grésy-sur-Aix → Valmorel, 139 km (Mountain)

June 5 update: Stage 5 is a lumpy stage that ends in a 12.7 km uphill finish to Valmorel, a ski resort in the Rhône-Alpes. The climb has your typical steady ski resort grade in this case averaging 7%. At just five seconds back on GC, Chris Froome (Sky) should move into the race lead after this stage. With so many riders out of GC contention, don't be surprised to see a break of quality riders succeed on this stage. — Steve

Stage 4 preview: Villars-les-Dombes → Parc des Oiseaux, 32.5 km (TT)


June 4 update: Unlike previous years, this is year's individual time-trial is a relatively short 32.5 km in length which may seem decent for an ITT in a one week stage race, but often the Critérium du Dauphiné TT is over 50 km in length.

Starting from Villars-les-Dombes, a commune in the Ain department in eastern France, riders will do a flat 32.5 km loop ending at a bird park outside of town. A reshuffling of the GC is in-store before we hit the mountain stages and it will be interesting to see how our race leader, David Veilleux (Team Europcar), fares with his healthy 1:56 advantage as the last rider.

Normally, World ITT Champ Tony Martin would be the favorite for a stage like this, but apparently he's under the weather so look for Chris Froome (Sky) to post the best time and claim the Yellow Jersey. At the recent Tour de Romandie, Chris Froome finished 34s back of Tony Martin's winning time on the final day, flat, 18.5 km individual time-trial while David Veilleux finished 78th 2:17 off the pace. So unless Veilleux pulls off a personal best performance ++ he'll lose the race leader's jersey. — Steve

Stage 3 preview: Ambérieu-en-Bugey → Tarare, 167 km (flat/hilly)

June 3 update: Stage 3 moves west into the Rhône-Alpes in the area north of Lyon. Wednesday's stage will have a similar finish (map and profile below) to Stage 2 and since there are fewer hills, there should be more sprinters (Nacer Bouhanni, Michael Matthews and Thor Hushovd) around to contest another sprint finish, this time in Tarare. Once again there are several sharp turns in the last kilometer. — Steve

Stage 2 preview: Châtel → Oyonnax, 191 km (hilly)

June 2 update: Stage 2 features a classics-like course with six categorized climbs in the final 115 km, but nothing more than a cat 2 plus many uncategorized lumps. Starting from Châtel which the peloton passed through on Stage 1, the race heads west along the Swiss-French border south of Lake Geneva. After 191 km, the longest stage of this year's race, and many hills, the finish (profile and map below) is slightly downhill and twisty into Oyonnax. The final km is flat with two 90 degree right turns close together (180 degree turn?). — Steve

See the race summary table (right) for the Stage 2 profile, map and timetable.

Stage 2 start time: Monday 9:54 CET (7:54:00 AM GMT+0000); Weather for Châtel, France

Stage 1 preview: Champéry → Champéry, 121 km (hilly)

June 1 update: Stage 1 gets right down to business early on with the cat 1 Côte de Morgins (9.2 km @ 6 %) cresting just 12 km into the race. A break will form here, but it will likely get reeled before the return to Champéry with the first yellow jersey up for grabs. Although, this hilly stage starts and finishes in Champéry, Switzerland, much of the course is in France. The finish, see profile left, features a modest 6 km drag which will thin the field out before the course levels out in the final km. It kicks up again with 150m and one corner to go. Look for a bunch sprint. — Steve
