The seventh and final stage of the Criterium du Dauphiné Libéré
started in Saint-Jean-de Maurienne and finshed after 127 kilometres in Grenoble. 120 riders started
in Saint-Jean-de Maurienne after Gerolsteiner's Dutch talent Tom Stamsnijder decided not to start.
The final stage of the Dauphine
was dominated by a seven-man breakaway group. With a lead of up to six minutes on the bunch, the escapees stayed away for
more than 60 kilometers. The group fell apart on the day's three climbs. Five riders remained to start the final climb: Chrisophe
Riblon (AG2R)), Youri Trofimov (Bouygues Telecom), Jurgen Van de Walle (Quick Step), Daniele Righi (Lampre) and Dmitriy Fofonov
(Credit Agricole). Trovimov escaped but was caught shortly before the finish line by a chasing duo: Fofonov and Van de Walle.
While many efforts were made
to bring them back the three escapees worked well together until the final kilometres. Fofonov opened the sprint and was able
to keep his front position. Van de Walle came in second and Trofimov finished third. Fofonov efforts secured the polka dot
jersey for young gun and teammate Pierre Rolland as well.
Behind them, Caisse d'Epargne controlled the group with the
overall favourites, escorting their captain Alejandro Valvere over the finish line to give him the overall win in the one
week French stage race, which is considered one of the most important final tests before next months Tour de France.
Valverde also won the points
classification. The Basque Euskatel – Euskadi team won the team classification. Australian rider Cadel Evans is the
new leader in the UCI Pro-Tour.
