By David Hunter Le Pont de Claix – Superdevoluy 151km Last day. After two great stages, we could be in for another terrific day.

By David Hunter La Rochette – Meribel 141km GC battle, round 2! If today wasn’t enough for you, we have another cracking stage ahead.

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 Tain l’Hermitage – Belley 176km The last chance for the sprinters. Quite a boring day for the bunch.

By David Hunter Boen sur Lignon – Tournon sur Rhone 187.5km The peloton head past Saint Etienne, a city where I have enjoyed many a drink! Beware the little kicker, as the Aussies would say.

By David Hunter Creches sur Saone – Chalmazel 168km A much harder day in the saddle. It’s not a mountain top finish, so this will interest quite a lot of the peloton.

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.
