[Nicky91]

think some contenders on paper are

Mathieu van der Poel, Primoz Roglic, Tadej Pogacar, Nairo Quintana, Rigoberto Uran


think Peter Sagan is one to watch in the mountains, same goes for Bauke Mollema, Rafal Majka


as for sprinters, lucky for rest Cavendish isn't taking part, some chances for Wout van Aert or some more surprise sprint stage winners


am curious what the british can do, like Geraint Thomas or Chris Froome, or Adam and Simon Yates

[Nicky91]

stage 8 of today, we head into Switzerland


from Dole all the way to the finish line in Lausanne


a place of some dutch successes, Gerrie Knetemann in 1978 and Erik Dekker in 2000



on the way to the finish, there are 3 cols, and the finish is at a 4th col, after the 3rd col there is a long downhill section and seems to be ideal for riders such as Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel

[Nicky91]

14. George Bennett (NZL) 2pts
15. Marc Hirshi (SUI) 1pt


Fred Wright has won the intermediate sprint, with Frison is second, Cattaneo third. There is a three-minute wait for the main bunch to juke it out for the lower places. Jacob Philipsen eventually takes fourth, Van Aert fifth, Christophe Laporte sixth and Fabio Jakobsen seventh in the belated sprint for the line.

col du marechet

1. Frederik Frison (BEL) 1pt


onwards to Cote des Rousses now


then we have Cote Petra Felix

and last one is Stade Olympique

[Nicky91]

todays stage 9


lots of climbing, two cols ''de la croix'' and ''pas morgins''


it'll be tough climb, but not really very steep so standings riders might be able to very easily keep up with the 1st group

[Nicky91]

stage 9 intermediate sprint

1. Wout Van Aert (BEL) 20pts
2. Nils Politt (GER) 17pts
3. Luis Leon Sanchez (ESP) 15pts
4. Hugo Houle (CAN) 13pts
5. Bob Jungels (LUX) 11pts

[Nicky91]

tomorrows stage 10

lots of hills in the road from Morzine to Megéve



wednesday and thursdays respective stage 11 and 12 though the riders are awaiting cols from the first and the outer category, while in tomorrows stage they can already warm themselves up to that with some hills from the 4th, 3rd and 2nd category


In 2020 two Dauphine stages finished in Megéve: Lennard Kamna and Sepp Kuss won back then, In the Tour de France 2016 the climbing time trial to Megéve was won by Chris Froome, just ahead of Tom Dumoulin and Fabio Aru

[Nicky91]

with just the plain final stage to go


almost certain that Jonas Vingegaard has won this years tour de france ahead of Tadej Pogacar in second place and british Geraint Thomas in third place


mountain standings won by Jonas Vingegaard, 2nd Simon Geschke, 3rd Giulio Ciccone

sprint standings for Wout van Aert, 2nd Tadej Pogacar, 3rd Jasper Philipsen

youth standings for Tadej Pogacar, 2nd Tom Pidcock 3rd Brandon McNulty

team standings, also almost certain for Ineos-Grenadiers, 2nd Groupama-FDJ 3rd Jumbo-Visma



but who will get the honour to come over the finish first at champs-elysees?
