Criterium Du Dauphine - Stage 2

Interesting stage today as its uphill from the off and a nice little cat 1 thrown in almost halfway but after that its virtually downhill and flat to the end.

A sprint finish in the offing ? and will Sky protect Kennaugh in the leaders jersey or just save their energy for the high mountains to come.

Had to make 3 transfers after 3 riders DNS yesterday.

This is the nice thing about smaller races... Stats are easier to report...  1

Well, variety is the spice of life, and that's what the new day has brought to the competition... We now have a total of 874 teams in the competition... 36 more teams joined the competition overnight... Was it me?...  45 No...  45 Really...  45

There seem to have been at least 159 unique teams, as opposed to yesterday's 140. Here's what seems to be the most common team today with 68 teams seeming to share these scoring riders:

Nacer Bouhanni       PC
Sacha Modolo       PC
Edvald Boasson Hagen       DS
Peter Kennaugh       AR
Julian Alaphilippe       AR

The usual caveats apply.  1

I may get rid of the sprinters tonight and put them back in after stage 3. Plenty of transfers in this race given the parcours.

Good point, I'll have to have a look at that later. Lots of climbers here though and I'm bound to pick the wrong ones on Thursday, so need to bank enough transfers to rectify that on Friday!

1,2,3,4 for me - no transfers used so picked the right 4 sprinters by the looks of things.

My other four are all good for the TTT I hope (2 x Etixx, Orica, Astana) so I might just keep the same team for the next 2 stages and save transfers for the mountains.

The last couple of years I've started well and then the Giro has been the start of a slump, but this season has been the opposite so far...

Confirmation of the results at the top of the Cuvéry shows that it was Teklehaimanot who went over the top first to add another 10 points to his lead in the mountains classification. His teammate Meintjes sneaked in to take some points in the peloton behind.

1. Teklehaimanot, 10 pts

2. Quemeneur, 8 pts

3. Courteille, 6 pts

4. Meintjes, 4 pts

5. Mate, 2 pts

6. Smukulis, 1 pt

seems the Col de Cuvéry hasn't made an impression and dropped anyone. Sprint on.
