Stage 8 preview: Megève → Courchevel, 132 km (Mountain)

June 14 update: An exciting Critérium du Dauphiné concludes with a mountain stage and the cat 1 climb to Courchevel. This is the first time ASO has used Courchevel since the 2005 Tour de France (see video below); however, apparently the Sunday finish (profile) doesn't go as far up the climb as 2005. It should be another great Contador vs. Froome battle before they resume at the Tour de France in just three weeks. — Steve
Alejandro Valverde wins 2005 TdF Stage 10 on Courchevel (09:00 Spanish)tve

Stage 7 preview: Ville-la-Grand → Finhaut-Emosson, 160 km (Mountain)


June 13 update: Stage 7 with five categorized climbs ending with two HC climbs is the Queen Stage of this year's event. The course meanders south of Lake Geneva starting from Ville-la-Grand and ending at a small, picturesque (see above) mountain hamlet, Finhaut, previously used by the Tour de Suisse and Tour de l'Avenir. Chris Froome leads by 12s over Alberto Contador which isn't much given the difficulty of this stage and the number of sections greater than 9% on the finishing climb (profile) including the last km. The climb is perfectly suited to Alberto Contador. — Steve

Stage 6 preview: Grenoble → Poisy, 179 km (bob and weave)

June 12 update: Stage 6 is a 179 km twisty, lumpy route from Grenoble to Poisy. The twisty finish in Poisy will test riders' allround skills with a Cat 4 climb 8 km to go and a 15% section before the flat final km. Arnaud Demare said pre-stage 6: "Plutôt une arrivée pour puncheur / A finish for punchers" or look for another successful break. — Steve

Stage 2 preview: Tarare → Pays d'Olliergues-Col du Béal, 156 km (Mountain)

June 8 update: We'll waste no time getting down to business on the first road stage. As you can see from the list of categorized climbs below, Stage 2 features five categorized climbs including the generously labeled HC climb at the end of 156 km on Col du Béal in the Massif Central (south-central France). It's doubtful it is steep enough for big splits among the GC contenders, but there will be plenty of opportunities for a break. — Steve
