Full live coverage of stage 5 of the Cꦑritérium du Dauphiné - 140km from La Ravoire to Vaujany with a summit finish. 

 

 Hello and welcome to Cyclingnews’ live coverage of the Dauphiné. It’s stage 5 today, and the first summit finish of the race. The GC men have been able to keep their powder relatively dry since the o✤pening prologue – though their were late splits yesterday – but today signals the start of the true fight for the yellow jersey.

So, the riders have gathered in La Ravoire, where we have another beaut♌iful day. They've signed on and will shortly be rolling out for the neutralised section. Racing proper is expected to begin at around 13:30 local time. 

Shorts and t-♊shirt weather for our own Daniel Benson, who has just grabbed a word with Chris✨ Froome. 

Here's what today's stage looks like:

As you can see, it's a far from gentle start to the day, with no fewer than six categorised climbs in the first 80km. Things calm down somewhat thereafter, but the road rises sharply again at the end of the stage with the final climb to Vaujany, with ramps of🎃 well over 10%. 

The riders roll out of La Ravoire

Here's how the GC stands after four stages

The flag drops and racing is underway. With plenty of early climbs there should be a fair bit of inter😼est in getting into the break.&nbওsp;

A couple of DNS's to tell you about. 

It's a fast and furious start to theꦛ day as the peloton is strung out into a long line. Tinkoff and those wanting to control things will have to be vigilant about who's allowed 💯to go up the road. 

"It's a short stage and that's going to make it hard to control," says BMC's Richie Porte, 3rd overall.

John Degenkolb goes on the attack, cu🃏riously, and is joined by Greg Van Avermaet and Tony Martin. The powers that be in the peloton, however, are having none of it and it's all back together. 

Movis🍃tar's Rubén Fernández, who won the Tour de l'Avenir in 2013, has had to abandon the race following a crash in the 🔯neutral zone.

We're well o💜nto this short third-category climb now and some riders are getting dropped, including Michal Kwiatkowski, who is struggling here with illness. 

Kwiatkowski's teammate Woet Poels attacks and drags some riders with him - Ben Hermans (BMC), 🌳Perrig Quémeneur (Direct Energie), Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida) and Alexis Vuillermoz (AG2R-La Mondiale).

Grmay gr🍎abs the two KOM points at the top, with Hermans bagging one, but Tinkoff have brought things back together. 

A short descent now before the riders hit the second climb of the day - the fourth-category C&ocir😼c;te d'A♛rvillard. It's 2.2km long at 5.3%.

More attacks now as we reach th꧋e foot of this next climb. There's a sizeable group with a slim advantage 🌊over the peloton.

The move is shut down and the fast pac🌟e here is seeinﷺg other riders dropped, including Nacer Bouhanni.

Expressive Frenchman Thomas Voeckler skips away to take the sole KOM point at the top of the climb. ꧑;

Voeckler gets a gap with Vuillermoz and Grmay tries to brid🍸ge but, once again, they are brought 🐽back. 

A couple of short climbs out of the way, but now onto the serious stu🌸ff.

We’ll see how things unfold on the road today," Chris Froome told us this morning. "We’ve a great team😼 here and we’ll use that to our advantage. The [final] climb is very steep so🐎 we’ll see how selective is it.

Voeckler, Grmay, an𒁏d Vuillermoz did in fact manage to hold off the peloton and they're still maintaining a slim lead at the he﷽ad of the race. A large chase group has gathered behind them.

Onto the Col du Barioz now as Tinkoff keep maintain the pressℱure o꧙n the front of the bunch. 

It's getting scrappy as the gradients ramp up, and som🐓e of the🅺 chasers are managing to make it to the head of the race. The peloton is about 30 seconds back at the moment. 

103km remaining from 140km

We're 🏅onto the upper slopes of this climb and the peloton have knocked it back a litt🗹le - they're now over a minute behind. 

The big chase groꦍup has joined up with the leaders🍎 so we now have a huge group of around 25 leading the race. We'll bring you the make-up of the group shortly, but the peloton are coming back...

The lead group:

Here's the🀅 results at the top of the Col du Barioz

Contador has placed two men in the break in Kreuziger and Kiserlovski. It's Contador's other teammates who lead the 🎃peloton, around 1:15 behind. 

94km remaining from 140km

The peloton, still led by Ti𝔍nkoff,ꦉ begin to eat into the breakaway's advantage.

45 ꦦseconds is the gap now. This climb isn't long but it's pretty steep. 

Teklehaimanot 🔥once again skips away to take maximum points at the top of the climb. He could be riding his way into the polka dot jerꦍsey. 

KOM results at the Col des Ayes

Confirmed: Teklehaimanot will be the new wearer of the 🍬polka dot jersey as lea🤡der of the mountains classification at the end of the day.

84km remaining from 140km

Poels upsets the party and grabs the solitary point a♎t the top of 💞the climb. 

The breakaway is now beginning to break up.

We're headiꦰng gently downhill now and the peloton, currently led by Astana, is over a minute behind. 

It's worth remembering that Ryder Hesjedal is only 49 seconds down on GC, 👍so at the moment he's the virtual leader of the race. 

78km remaining from 140km

Away from the racing itself, there was an announcement this morning that Orica wil💜l be ending their sponsorship of the Orica-GreenEdge team at the end of 2017. 

The peloton has really put its foot on the gas in the rolling s🐽ection between these two climbs. They're closing in on the big group now. 

Regroupement

65km remaining from 140km

We're now movin𝔉g onto our next climb - the Cô💝;te de la Sarrazine.

Some counter attacks have been going off the front of ღthe bunch but nothing has be🍬en allowed to stick as the road heads uphill. 

 After his efforts to secure the polka dot jersey, Teklehaimanot has dropped off the back of this chasing group and is being reeled in by 🐟the peloton.&nbs🥂p;

58km remaining from 140km

News coming in that Kris Boeckmans has abandoned the race. Boeckmans endured a tough winter following a horrible crash♔ at last year's Vuelta a Espana but made his comeback to racing at the Handzame classic in March. 

Grivko has been caught by a group of fou💙r chasers, who are  Cyril Gautier (AG2R-La Mondiale), Dayer Quintana (Movistar), Enrico Gasparotto (Wanty-Groupe Gobert) and Bart♐osz Huzarski (Bora Argon 18). The peloton is 2:40 behind now. 

The riders have got a long descent now before the road levels out for the briefest of moments and then they'll be climbing again towards the final, crucial ascꦬent. 

Tinkoff are doing the pace setting on the front of the bunch, they'll want to ma𒅌ke sure that Contador doesn't get caught behind anything today. 

If you haven't done so already, take a listen to our latest podcast 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:with special guest Richie Porte. 

44km remaining from 140km

Tinkoff has pulled the gap back a little to 2:25 as they reach the bottom of the descent but they're happy to have t𒀰hese guys out front for now. 

With the gaps as they are for now, Dayer Quintana is the virtual leader. The younger brother of Nairo, he began the day just 1:39 behind Contador. Quintana won th🦋e Tour de San Luis earlier this season. 

38km remaining from 140km

34km remaining from 140km

Teklehaimanot is sitting at the back of the bunch with Stephen Cummings for company. He'll just want to make it home safely wit༒h the polka do🍬t jersey already his. 

30km remaining from 140km

The gap currently stands at 2:10 as the peloton൩ strings ou𒊎t due to the work of Tinkoff. 

Tinkoff, Sky, Astana, BMC - most with a full complement of riders. That's the order in the pel😼oton, which is largely a single file line. 

25km remaining from 140km

After yesterday's stage we spoke to Tinkoff owner Oleg Tinkov. As ever, the Russian had some inter𒅌esting opinions...

It's Michael Gogl no𓆏w doing a turn on the front of the bunch. The gap to the break, howe🐎ver, is holding steady at the moment at 2 minutes. 

18km remaining from 140km

Contador has dropped back to the middle of the bunch. No꧟t sure why - maybe to have a chat with one of his rivals?

A blow for Kwiatkowski ahead of the Tour

Tinkoff seem to have burned all their matches and they haven't made any real imꦕpact in the bid to peg back the break.

11km remaining from 140km

This is what it looks like

BMC, Movistar, and FDJ ar൩e now grouping at the front of the peloton.

The road pitches uphill for the leaders ahead of the final climb and their lead𝐆 begins to fall.

1:30 is the gap now as the peloton powers up this sharp rise 💞to the lake. Riders getting🥀 shelled out the back here. 

It doesn'🎶t look like the break will be contesting the stage win at this r🅰ate as FDJ take it up back on the flat. 

6km remaining from 140km

Etixx take it up now on the approach 🌠to🗹 the climb. They have Alaphilippe and Dan Martin well-placed on GC.

Gasparotto attacks!

Quintana gets over to the wheel, Gautier is currently🌠 desperately▨ trying to get on terms. The other two are dropped.

Hesjedal, 11th on GC, is dropped from the bunch.

Mikel Landa attacks from the bunch. Sky have been in offensiv🍨e mode so far at the Dauphiné

Gautier hasn't managed to bridge to Gasparotto and Quintana, so we have two men at the☂ head of the race.

Gasparotto now drops Quintana

The pace is really high in the bunch here as Contador comes to the fore.&n💧bsp𒁏;

Lots of riders being dropped as the pelo♌ton thins out. Boasson Hagen l💟oses contact.

The main favourites are all here in the bunch but they're all out of the saddl💝e as the gradients ramp up and the hairpins comeไ.

Landa catches andไ passes Quintana but the bunch are only a handful of seconds behind.

Gasparotto has 20 seconds.

3km remaining from 140km

Pinot has been drop♔ped from the group of favourite✅s. 

Landa drops Gasparotto now. 

3km remaining from 140km

Henao follows M𓆏artin,🔯 as do Contador and Porte, but Froome and the rest have been distanced slightly.

2km remaining from 140km

Froome now attacks!

Bluffing? Landa's lead is wiped out൲ as Froome puts🅰 in a searing injection of pace. 

Contador follows, as does Porte. 

Martin and Bardet distanced

Froome drives again and he drops Contador!

Porte is just about on terms but Contador is well back, really struggling hꦡe🌜re. 

2km remaining from 140km

Dan Martin comes back and is✨ now the third man on the road. He has Contador on his wheel, with the rest of the group several seconds behind.

1km remaining from 140km

1km remaining from 140km

50🍎0 metres to go. 10, 6, 4 bonus seconds on the line, remember.

The road pitches up ag💎ain slightly to the line. Froome or Porte for꧋ the win?

Froome comes through and leads it out. Will Porte come rꦐound?

Froome wins stage 5 of the Dauphiné

Martin and Yates come home next. Contador iജs one second behind them, 19💙 seconds back on Froome. 

Froome is the new leader of the race, by six or seven sꩲeconds over Porte. 

Froome got out of the saddle and took that sprint in commanding fashion, while Porte was forced to stay in the saddle and settle for seꦰcond plꦰace. 

Top 10

General Classification after stage 5

Not a huge amount of change in the top 10 as Jesus Herrada drops out and Louis Meintjes moves up. Impressive stuff from Adam Yℱates, third on the stage, who strengthens his posi༒tion. 

Froome steps onto the podium to pull on that familiar yello⛎w jersey

What a win from Froome - and what a statement of intent. Droꦛpping C🎃ontador there will represent a significant psychological blow ahead of the Tour de France. 

Another dose of deja vu now as Daniel Teklehaimanot steps onto the podium to co✃llect the polka dot jersey that he won outright last year.

Here are the new KOM standings

Another big day tomorrow as well...

We've just grabbed a word with Richie Porte

Froome on the offensive

So, our focus turns to tomorrow's stage 6. It's t꧅he penultimate stage of the race and probably the most dꦜecisive. 

Here's what Porte had to say about it:

Plenty of great shots in our 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:stage 5 gallery

"The pendulum at the Critérium du Dauphiné swung towards Chris Froome on the first of its three decisive legs in the hiꦑgh mountains as t🌜he Sky rider claimed stage victory at Vaujany to divest Alberto Contador (Tinkoff) of the yellow jersey of race leader."

And with that we'll leave you for today. We'll be back again tomorrow for full live coverage of the queen stage of the🤡 Dauphiné - certainly not one to be missed. Thanks for joining us today and we hope to see y🐬ou again tomorrow.
