By David Hunter La Ravoire – Vaujany 140km Here starts the GC battle. This is the first of three stages that will determine the winner of the Dauphine. All three stages have a few things in common:- they are short, they include mountains and they should be great to watch.

By David Hunter Cluses – Saint Vulbas 186km Sprint stage. Thanks to the prologue, we have Tinkoff to control the stage for the yellow jersey. They will ensure the break only gets a small gap and then the teams of the sprinters will take over.
