Two riders have gone up the road, Andrei Grivko and Niki Terpstra. T💙he pair have a slim advantage of 17 seconds over the peloton.
170km remaining from 183km
The attack of Terpstra and Grivko has come to nought. They have been brought back꧙ by the peloton.
Tejay van Gerderen is in yellow today, after finishing second to Rom🌄ain Bardet on Pra Loup. Hear what he had to say𝓀 after the stage in . We've got plenty of videos coming in the next few weeks so remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you don't miss a thin.
Seven riders have got away, including Tim Wellens (Lotto-Soudal) who took the points at the top of the first climb. The full list of riders in th꧙is break are: Andriy Grivko (Astana), Adam Yates (Orica-GreenEdge), Tim Wellens (Lotto-Soudal), Jonathan Castroviejo (Movistar), Alberto Losada (Katusha), Cyril Gautier (Europcar) and Stephen Cummings (MTN-Qhubeka)
163km remaining from 183km
Maxime Bouet and Julian Alaphilippe have joined the leaders, making it a group of nine out front but they have just 10 se💧conds on the bunch.
It's all back together again in the peloton as the nine leaders are cau𒅌ght. Mountains classification leader Daniel Teklehaimanot seems to be in trouble though as he is dropped. The MTN-Qhubeka rider has been on the attack for three stages so far.
The riders ღare on the dꦍescent of the first climb and 15 riders have now moved clear and yesterday's stage winner Bardet seems to be one of those who have broken free.
Yellow jersey Tejay van Garderen is also part of ♉the move.

A full list of the 19 ride𒉰rs that went clear on that descent. The group has 35 seconds on a sky-led peloton.
Vincenzo Nibali and Andriy Grivko (Astana), Wilco Kelderman (LottoNL-Jumbo), Romain Bardet and JC Péraud (AG2R-La Mondiale), Adam and Simon Yates 💫(Orica-GreenEdge), Tony Gallopin and Tim Wellens (Lotto-Soudal), Jonathan Castroviejo, Gorka Izagirre and Rory Sutherland (Movistar), Alberto Losada (Katusha), Tejay van Garderen and Rohan Dennis (BMC), Julian Alapahilippe (Etixx), Rui Costa (Lampre), Cyril Gautier (Europcar) and Stephen Cummings (MTN-Qhubeka).
150km remaining from 183km
Sky are one of the few GC teams that missed this move and they've got to be worried. They've put Peter Kennaugh to the front to try and bring this back. Whil🎀e they might be able to bring the escapees back, they're going to be wasting valuable resources early on.
There are a lot of strong riders in the breakaway group a🐻nd it seems that they don't want to work together. Alaphilippe and Cummings have ꦍgone clear with one other rider.
Van Garderen, Nibali and Bardet have gone back to the peloton. Without them the break has a much bigger c💙hance of getting away. 10 ri🍷ders are now ahead.
They are: Grivko, Péraud, Adam Yates, Gallopin, 🥃Castroviejo, Izagirre, Losad෴a, Alaphilippe, Gautier and Cummings.
The group aren't happy yet with the composition of the break a🐬nd they've only got 15 seconds advantage at the moment.
It's been a very fast first hour of racing and t🍸he average speed is currently 45.4kph. The peloton have brought back all the escapဣees and it's gruppo compatto once again.
135km remaining from 183km
The attacks are still flying out of the peloton but nothing is sticking at the moment📖. Cofidis are currently controlling things on🅺 the front of the bunch as the riders near the third climb of the day the Col de la Croix-Haute.
Vicente Reynes has aband🗹oned. He's the firs🥂t rider for IAM Cycling to leave the race.
132km remaining from 183km
Tony Martin h🐻as had en𓆏ough and has gone for a solo attack.

127km remaining from 183km
After going on the attack earlier on, Alaphilippe has been dropp🐷ed by the peloton, along with Joaquim Rodríguez. Tony Martin re🐬mains out front.
After Reynes called 🍷it quits, four more riders hav♉e decided to climb off their bikes. They are Martin Velits (Etixx-QuickStep), Caleb Fairly, Luka Mezgec (Giant-Alpecin) and Murillo Fisher (FDJ)
Up front, Tony Martin is forging on alone. H𓂃e's now got 25 seconds o🐻n the peloton after 62km of racing.
Martin ▨has 120km still to go. It's a long way to go on his own but he's proved that he could do it in the past. Remember the Vuelta 2013?
Martin may have some company soon as six rider, including Nibali, Va☂lverder and Talansky, try to get across to him.
The high pace and wet weather is taking its toll on the riders out there and yet anotherꦛ rider climbs off. Yannick Martinez makes it six riders to call it a day during this stage 6.
What a start to the Dauphine stage. Riders DNFing left right and centre, 70km♉ done and no break. Talansky,▨ Valverde and Nibali attacking!
Fri, 12th Jun 2015 10:35:06
115km remaining from 183km
Tony Martin still holds a 30 s꧂econd advantage over the peloton as he hits the top of the third climb of the day. The chasers behind him have been caught, as Rodrí𓂃guez rejoins the peloton from the back.

Fri, 12th Jun 2015 10:41:50
After a valiant effort, Martin has been broug♍ht back by the peloton. He's been replaced by Vincenzo Nibali who has now gone on the attack.
Nibali had a🥃 bad day yesterday after he was dro🃏pped on the final climb but he seems to be back with a vengeance today.
After a short descent, the riders are climbi🀅ng aga𝓰in. Here are the full results on the Croix Haute.
1. Simon Yates (Orica), 5 points
2. Vincenzo Nibali (Astana), 3
3. Dan Martin (Cannondale), 2
4. John Gadret (Movistar), 1
Nibali is near the top of the Col de Grimone and he has 20 seconds on the bunch. He's known for his descend𒉰ing skills and he's 🌱got a very long descent on the other side to put them into practice.
Nibali is on the descent now and he's got 45 ꦇseconds. How much can he build on that on this long downhi🔥ll stretch?
Vincenzo Nibali is currently 1:33 down on van Garderen in the overall classification after getting dropped yes🐼terday. Perhaps he was inspired by Bardet's ride yesterday or maybe this is a super training ride.
Nibali finally has some company with Tony Gallopin, Alejandro Valverde, Tony M📖artin and Rui Costa all bridging over.
Best placed of the riders out front is Valverde. He is one place ahead of Nibali and has a five-second buffer. 🅠 He✃ too was dropped during yesterday's stage.
Behind the leaders, the peloton has been cut down to an elite few ri🐻ders. The race leader van Garderen is in the group along with Froome and defending champion Talansky.
This is how it looks in the second group on the road: Andrew Talansky and Daniel Martin (Cannondale-Garmin),Chris Froome (Sky), W꧟ilco Kelderman (LottoNL-Jumbo), Romain Bardet (AG2R), Simon Yates (Orica-GreenEdge), Jose Herraꦯda and Benat Intxausti (Movistar), Tejay Van Garderen (BMC), Robert Kiserlovski (Trek Factory Racing) and Jose Serpa (Lampre-Merida)
After two hours of racing the riders have aver♕aged 42.3kph, which is ahead of the fastest predicted time schedule. The riders really want to get out🎃 of the rain.
Never one to say no to a chance to go on the attack, 🌳Tony Martin has distanced his break companions. He has an 18-second lead over the Nibali group.
91km remaining from 183km
The yellow 𒀰jersey group is now 1:25 behind but Talansky has a mechanical problem and he is no longeဣr part of it.
A quick run-down of how it looks out on the road. Tony Martin has an 18-second gap on a fཧour-man chase g🥃roup that includes Vincenzo Nibali and Alejandro Valverde.
The yellow jersey group, which also contains Chris Froome, is a further 1:07 back. They're on the long descent of the Col de Grimo🌠ne and next up is the first category ascent of the Col du Rousset.
An update on that time check and the yellow jersey group is now 2:40 behind Martin, who is really charging down this descent. Th♍e German rider has 20 seconds on the chasers.
With the time gaps as they are, Valverde is the yellow jersey out on the road. 💦Valverde is a former two-time champion of this race.
The Nibali group have caught bac📖k up with Marti❀n. They have 2:50 on the yellow jersey group behind.
A lot of riders have ma🏅naged to get back onto the peloton on the descent and it has grown to about 50 riders.
74km remaining from 183km
The leaders are reaching the bottom of t⛄his long descent. The road levels out for a few kilometres before they start the Col du Rousset, a 13.4-kilometre🐬 climb that averages 5.4-kilometres.

Teammates 🅷Julian Alaphilippe and Maxime Bouet have abandoned.🧸 This has been a high attrition day.
There will be more WorldTour racing beginning tomorrow with the start of the Tour de Suisse. Get ahead of the game with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:our race preview.
67km remaining from 183km
The leaders are onto the first cat Col du Rousset and the gap hᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚas gone up to 3:25. The very fast pace means that the riders are well ahead of schedule.
Movistar saying Dowsett has abandoned, could be a blow to his TdF c🍌hances. Hope he gets to g๊o this year.
Fri, 12th Jun 2015 11:43:52
Arnaud Jeannesson is also out of the race.
The gap has come down a little bit but it still holds at three minutesꦅ for our five escapees.
If𒐪 the break is successful then it could have a big impact on the general classification. TO include Nibali and Valverde, here is a look at how the top 15 looked this morning.

59km remaining from 183km
The advantage to the five leaders briefly dropped to under three minutes. The escapees obv♈iously got 💙the message to get a shimmy on and they've brought it back out to 3:10.
It's AG2R-La Mondiale doing the chase. Afte🌠r Bardet's big effort to move himself into a podium position yesterday they don't want to lose out.
Nacer Bouhanni is dropped from the group of favourites. An impressive job from the Frenchman to h🌜ave held on t🧜hat long.

The averag🔯e speed hasn't abated over the th♏ird hour. As the riders near the top of the penultimate climb, they've been averaging 41.8kph.
52km remaining from 183km
Nibali has attacked and taken Valverde and Costa🦂 with him. Martin and Gallopin have been dropped. There's 10 seconds between the two groups.
Martin and Gallopin are now 25 seconds behind the Nibali group. The yellow-jersey group are a furthe๊r 2:50 down the road.
The leaders are descending the Col du Rousset and they've now got 3:30 on the peloton. This stage really has been something. Aggressive right from the off and hardly a moment for the riders to catch their breath. Valverde may be about to ride himself int💛o yellow.
Martin and Gallopin have rejoined the other three leaders on the descent. They have 3:30 on the peloton with 45km to go. Nibali was the first over the climb, taki𝓡ng ful🌄l points.
1. Vincenzo Nibali, 10 points
2. Alejandro Valverde, 8
3. Rui Costa, 6
4. Tony Gallopin, 4
5. Tony Martin, 2
40km remaining from 183km
The gap is edging out gradually with just only a few small rises before theꦏ final 3rd cat climb to the finish. The five leaders have 3:36 on the🦂 peloton.
34km remaining from 183km
It's now BMC at the front of the peloton. They're at riඣsk of losing their yellow jersey. The gap is 3:12.
Tinkoff-Saxo are also helping with the chasing but t🌄hey're struggling to really bri🍷ng down the gap to the escapees. With 32km to go the leaders still have 3:06.
The rain is🦩 really hammering it down on the riders. They'll be happy that this is going to end quicker than expected but BMC won't be happy if they can't bring back this leading five.
BMC hᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚave brought the gap down to under three minutes once again✱. They now are still 2:45 down though.
25km remaining from 183km
Tony Martin has stopped taking turns on the front of the leader's group. Perhaps he's tired or maybe he's biding his time for another attack before the fini💮sh.
Van Garderen only has two teammates with him as Tinkoff-Saxo put Chris Anker Sorensen at the𓄧 front. The peloton is losing ground again.
23km remaining from 183km
Vincenzo Nibali takes off his rain jacket and he is quickly followed by Martin and Costa. They're getting ready fꦅor the action to kick off.
The gap is coming out once agai♔n to 2:55. Amidst the GC contenders we can see the green jersey of Nacer Bouhanni in the main group. A great ride from the Frenchman to keep in touch as the peloton is whittled down.
The leܫaders are on another little rise but it isn't classified. Of the terrain left, only the final 2km of the sꦏtage are classified.
It looks like Tony Martin was tired. He's been 🍃dropped from the leading grou🌳p.
19km remaining from 183km
30 seconds be൲tween Martin and the leader🏅s now. Behind them, van Garderen is without any teammates. The peloton is 2:55 behind the four escapees.
Philippe Mauduit the Lampre-Merida DS comes up and gives some adviꦓce to Rui Costa. The Portuguese rider as a fast kick is certain🗹ly one of the favourites for the victory from this group.
Now Vincenzo Nibali drops back.🅷 He seems to have as problem with his gears. Nibali♏ won't want to come to the line with this group. He'll have to attack close to the finish if he wants to win the stage.
Along with his former teammate Costa, Valverde is a favourite to take the stage. He can rel🧸y on e good sprint and can bide his time to the finish. Could he do the double whammy andꦓ take yellow too. Looks like he might.
We can't forget Gallopin in this group. Wh🃏ile his palmares might not be as illustrious as his break companions the Frenchman has form. A late attack from him could deliver him to victory.
13km remaining from 183km
Tony Martin is back with the peloton nꦑow and he is immediately dropped. AG2R-La Mondiale have moved to the front to help Tinkoff-Saxo out. The gap is just over three minutes at the moment.
Tony Martin does not look like a ♔happy man right now. He's exhausted himself with his efforts today and he's just saving energy for🧜 the days ahead.
Team Sky in the mix now at the front of the chasiꦉng group. After Froome's big effort yesterday they will be really disappointed to have missed out on this move.
11km remaining from 183km
As the peloton descend, the leaders are climbing agaiཧn. 2:54 separate the two🌳 groups.
Nibali keeps putting in little digs on the front of the leading group. Looks like ꦉhe's trying to soften up the others before a big attack.
Kiserlovski attacks and he is followed by Van Garderen. No🌃 reaction from Froome yet.
The rain seems to be easing 🉐off now, which will be welcome𒁏d by the riders.
10km remaining from 183km
The attacks have distanced a large number of riders. Froome has been forced to do the chasing. He's got I🅰ntxausti and Bardet in his wheel.
Froome has bridged the gap and Van Garderen has found himself on the fron🌳t of the group of favourites. He's looking around for some help as he hasn't got an𝓰y teammates left.
💖Kelderman, Simon Yates, Talansky and Dan Martin all appear to have kept touch throughout the attacks.
8km remaining from 183km
The gap is bouncing up and down as the group of favourites start꧋ looking nat each other. It currently stands at 2:5⭕0.
Lots of digs now coming off the front of 💞the group. Talansky goes, with van Garderen le𒀰ading the chase. He's then caught and the group of favourites are now working well together as Yates attacks.
Dan Martin attacks now and he's followed by Ga🎶dret, who will not give him any assistance.
4km remaining from 183km
The gap has come down really quickly and they've only got 2:21. Valverde still virtual y♉ellow jersey though.
Riders keep trying to go off the front ꦕas Bardet crashes.
Bardet went down really hard as the bike slips out from under him. He's back on his bike but he look🅠s dazed.
Bardet went down really hard as the🀅 bike sl💦ips out from under him. He's back on his bike but he looks dazed.
3km remaining from 183km
Gallopin attacks the lead group
No reaction from the others behind. Va𓆏lverde is on the front of the group but he looks reluctant to do the work.
Behind the leaders the chasing group ihas come back together. And we ge🌠t our first sight of Rodríguez.
Appologies so💎me mis information. Martin, Gadret and Benoot are still up the road ahead of the Van Garderen group. Yates is somewhere out there too.
1km remaining from 183km
The leaders are on the final climb and Nib♎ali sneaks up the inside and attacks after Gallopiꦯn.
Costa is chasing Nibali but Valverde can't r💝eact. He looks done. Nibali has gone past Ga♊llopin.
Nibali's got just over a kilometre rem൩aining. He's got 2:38 on van Garderen and he's now ಞthe virtual yellow jersey.
Froomeis str🌼uggling. He's been distanced by van Garderen.
Costa can see Nibali. He's abo🎃ut to catch him with 300m to go
Costa has the faster finish. Surely this is his
Costa wins
Nibali is second and now we have the countback. Will he b🍬e in yellow this evening?
Valverde💎 beats Gallopin to take third. He gets some bonus se👍conds but he finishes over 30 seconds down.
Simon Yates puts in a great effort to finish fifth. He'll be in the ꦜwhit🤪e jersey after that ride.
Dan Martin and Gadret come over 1:53 do༒wn, with Benoot a little behnd them.
Froome passed van Garderen somewhere on the road. They come acros💞s the line a few seconds apart but they're over two minutes down on Costa and Nibali. Nibali is the new yellow jersey.
R🦩omain Bardet has also made it home but he's about a minute behind yatesꩲ. The Orica rider was only 28 seconds behind him this morning so Yates should be in white.
Wow what a stage we've just had. Yesterday's finish ꦇwasജ great but this has been action packed since the start. Nothing is straight forward in this Dauphiné it seems.
After that stage the new overall top 10 has Nibali in yellow, 29 seconds ahead of Costa. Valverde is a further second behind with๊ van Garderen dropping down to fifth. Bardet has dropped out of the top 10 totally after his crash.

A firm handshake from Bernard Hinault as he steps up on stage to claim his yellow jersey. His r🦋ace looked over 📖yesterday but he has come back in style. A very aggressive stage from the Italian national champion.
The fight for the general classification is far from over after today. An absolute stonker in store for the riders tomorrow with five first category cඣlimbs, including a summit finish.
