Critérium du Dauphiné 2014

[Eugene Oppelt]

Froome loses 20 seconds to Contador, who is the new overall leader of the Dauphine. We believe the Spaniard will carry an 8-second lead over Froome into the final stage.

[Eugene Oppelt]

Froome suffers in the finishing straight, and Talansky jumps around him to take fifth on the stage.

[Eugene Oppelt]

Lieuwe Westra (Astana) wins the stage and puts his foot to the ground exhausted immediately on crossing the line.

[Eugene Oppelt]

Aaah, the joys of the Skyborgs being defeated!!!

 

 

GO BERTO!!

[Eugene Oppelt]

Andrew Talansky, meanwhile, moves up to third place overall, 39 seconds down on Contador. Kelderman slips to 4th place, 59 seconds down.

“Everybody went to the limit but you don't know what you've got until the end,” Contador said before mounting the podium. “It was an incredible battle but it's not over yet. Still, it’s great to be able to measure myself against those around me.”
