Criterium du Dauphine Stage 6: Live updates, blog

There are twelve riders in the lead in the climb: Ignatenko (KAT), Kadri and Riblon (ALM), Machado (RNT), Sarmiento (LIQ), Di Gregorio (COF), Marzano (LAM), Hernandez (SAX), Chavanel (OPQ), Feillu (SAU), Geniez (ARG) and Carrara (VCD). Sarmiento and Kadri are 1st and 2nd in the Mountains’ jersey classification. They only have 20 secodns on the bunch. Interestingly Schleck and Vino are getting dropped on first climb.

Great article, great comment about keeping out of the stage win/GC win limelight and get onto the business of recovery and racing the next day. Evans was in yellow not until the end in 2012, which I think was important for his win.

Let the Tour de France mind games begin

Great race the 5th stage. Breakaway wins, terrain breaks-up the bunch on the descents not the ascents
