Today's final stage is over 151km from Le Pont de Claix near Grenoble to Superdé🔯;voluy. It is a t♉ough final day with six categorised climbs.

The final two climbs are expected to inspire any final attacks a🃏nd attempts to take the race lead and yellow jersey from Chris Froome.  

The Team Sky rider leads fo♏rmer teammate Richie Porte by 21 seconds, with Romain Bardet (AG2R-La Mondiale) third, also at 21 seconds after his aggressive ride and second place on♕ Saturday.

They're off! The riders have set iff for theꦦ final effort of the Dauphine. 

150 riders started the stage. The three non-starters are Tomasz Marcz𓆉ynski (Lotto-Soudal), Enrico Gasparotto and Björn Thurau (Wanty-Groupe Gobert).

Oliver ♒Naesen (IAM Cycling) is the first to try his hand but is quickly caught.

The riders are fighting to get in the break before 🍌the first climb of the ജday: the Côte de Montreynard (cat. 2) at km 13.5.

The riders are fighting to get ﷺin the break before the first climb of the da๊y: the Côte de Montreynard (cat. 2) at km 13.5.

Oliver Naesen (IAM Cycling) was the first to attack but w♒as quickly caught. 

As the climb begins we have more attacks. 

Jack Haig (Orica-GreenEdge) a⛦nd Bartosz Huzarski (Bora-Argon 18) make a big effort but they are al💙so pulled back.

A🅠s the climbs rises at 5% the peloton is ba𝔍ck together but the pace is high.  

The high pace 🌸is hurting some riders at the back. Sprinter Alexander Kristoff is just one of the stragglers.

More attacks and more chasing. This time Jérôme Coppel (IAM Cycling)𝔉 aﷺnd Dani Navarro (Cofidis) go clear and are chased by Bartosz Huzarski (Bora-Argon 18). 

Navarro is the first to the top of the côte de Monteynard but a group of chasers is 🗹only 25 seconds back with th🦂e peloton breathing down their necks. 

As expected the spl🌃its have sparked a reaction. The peloton🍃 is all back together.  

These are attacks are a taste of what is to come.

Now we ha🦹ve an interesting group of riders fighting for the stage victory.

In the move are Wout Poels (Team Sky)ℱ, Ro𒆙bert Kiserlovski (Tinkoff), Thibaut Pinot (FDJ), Laurens De Plus (Etixx-Quick Step), Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), Pierre Rolland (Cannondale) and Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida).

De Gendt pushes out alo🐻ne as the others are pulled back. 

Another attack and another change. No⭕w a group of 14 r🍷iders are on the attack.

They have a lead of a minute but will T൩eam Sky let it go? 

Perhaps the 14 have a chance. Jérémy Roy (ꦬFDJ) is the first to the summit of the Côte des Terrasses (cat. 3) at km 33.5 and so helps protects Thibaut Pinot's climber's jersey.

The attack has grown to 20 riders. In there are Robert Kiserlovski (T💦inkoff), Jérémy Roy (FDJ), Alexey Lutsenko (Astana), Ben Gastauer (AG2R-La Mondiale), Daryl Impey (Orica-GreenEdge), Jurgen Van den Broeck (Katusha), Tony Gallopin and Thomas De Gendt (Lotto-Soudal), Stephen Cummings and Daniel Teklehaimanot (Dimension Data), Ryder Hesjedal (Trek-Segafredo), Nelson Oliveira (Movistar), Romain Sicard (Direct Energie), Jac🀅k Bauer and Tom-Jelte Slagter (Cannondale), Jérôme Coppel (IAM Cycling), Bartosz Huzarski and Paul Voss (Bora-Argon 18) and Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida).

Many 🐭of those riders were also on the attack on Saturday, meaning they face another day of pain. 

Behind Team Sky 💟is setting the pac🌌e but the peloton is now 50 seconds back.

Despite a lot of climbing the first hour was covered at a fast pace of 37ꦅ.9km/h. Ou𝓡ch!

The 20 leaders now have♏ a g🌌ap of 1:35 on the Team Sky led peloton.

The gap is up to 2:25. It seems we have the break🦩 of the day.

After missing the break, the E💮tixx-QuickStep team is also hel༒ping with the chase but the gap is up to 3:00.

This middle section of the stage is oꦅn rolling roads but without any classified clim⛦bs. 

There🌄 are some talented riders in the atta🔜ck that could go on to win the stage today.

Ryder Hesjedal (Trek-Segafr🤪do) is one of them. He quit the Giro d'Italia with problems but would surely like to 🅠end the first part of his season with a win.

J൲urgen Van den Broeck (Katusha)𝓰 could also be a threat today. The Belgian has a strong pedigree in stage races.

Frenchman Jérôme Coppel (IAM Cycling) was one of the first to attack today. He is a stage race rider and was fift༺h overall in the 2010 Dauphin💟e.

Steve Cummings (Dimension Data) is also in the break today. He likes 𓄧to stay low and ride at the back of the peloton before picking his attacks carefully. 

N🐻iki Terpstra and Stijn Vandenbergh are doing the hard work for Etixx-Quickstep and have helped pull the break back to 1:45.&nbꩵsp;

The average speed remains🥃 high for the second hour despite the rolling roads. The average is 39.5km/h for the first two hours.  ღ;

71km remaining from 151km

The intense racing has already sparked several retirements. Purito Rodriguez (Katusha), Bauke Mollema (Trek), Paulinho (Tinkoff), Calmejane, Hurel and Nauleau (Direct Energie) and Degand (Wꦚanty🃏-Groupe Gobert) have all quit the race early on.

A wild horse has caused some panic in the race but was not a danger.&𝓰nbsp;

Cummings🍷 has carved out a lead of 30 seconds on the rest of the 20-rider break.

Cummings took off on the col de Moissière (cat. 1) at km 102.5. His attack has blown the breakaway into ꦍseveral pieces.

The peloton is currently at 2:20.

Cummings is spinning his gear and carefully controlling his eꦚffort.

Behind the Etixx-Quickstep team is still leading the chase,🌳 giving a big hand to Team Sky,ꦰ as the Belgian team defends its own GC interests and tries to win the stage with Martin and Alaphilippe.

AS you may have seen, Enrico Gasaparotto and Bjorn Thurau -both of the Wanty Groupe Gobert team, did not 🤡start the stage. They reportedly were stopped after tests revealed they had low cꦜortisol levels. 

Cummings has gained time on the Col de Moissière. He took the clim𝐆bers point 1:40 ahead of Tsgabu Grmay (Lampre-Merida). Both are now on the descent and the valley r🐷oad to the final climbs of the stage.

Several other r🍨iders are further back with the peloton at 4:05.

36km remaining from 151km

Tony Martin is doing a big shift for Etixx-Quickstep at the he💮ad of the peloton. However the gap to Cummings is now at 4:10.

30km remaining from 151km

Cummingsꦕ is tuckꦇed over his bars in an aero position.

F🔥roome has just🦄 taken a natural break and seems in total control at the moment. any attacks on his race lead will come on the climb up to the finish.

20km remaining from 151km

Cummings starts the Col du Noyer -7.5🦄 ♏kilometre-long climb at 8.4%. It is followed by the 3.8 kilometre-long climb at 5.9% up to the finish.

Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) won yesterday's stage b🌸ut is currently at the back of the Froome peloton, which consists of 50 or so riders. 

Theไ Froome peloton is sweeping up riders from the break but Cummings seems on a ride. 

The speed set by Etixx is hurting several riders, including Pinot, who is swinging off the 𒈔back. 

15km remaining from 151km

14km remaining from 151km

Cummings is neไar the summit of the climb but has limited his losses. The road is narrow and twisting. 

Attack! Contador goes for it!

Contador has a gap. Poels 💖went with him but Froome has been forcꦍed to move too. 

Contador always fights to the 💯end and is looking to crack Froome and Team Sky. 

Contador is fighting t🎉he gradient as Henao tries to drag Froome⛎ and the others across the gap. 

Henao has gone. It is up to Froome, P🌄orte and a few others 🦋to chase Contador now.

Froome, Porte and Bardet get on ༒Contador's wheel but the gloves are off in this final round fight atಞ the Dauphine.

Dan Martin is fighti🦂ng to limit his losses to the four up front. He is 15 secon🌱ds back.

Froome, Bardet, Con♈tador and Porte pass the summit, with Badet making a late attack. 

It's a mano a mano finale to the race.

Martin has been joined by Yates, Diego Rosa (Astana) and L🐎ouis Meinjtes (Lampre-Merida♛).

5km remaining from 151km

The GC is far from deci💞ded with F🎀roome, Contador, Porte and Bardet fighting for every second.

Contador is leading the quartet on the descent.

The Froome quartet is about to be joined by Mar💙tin, Yates, 💜Rosa and Meintjes.

2km remaining from 151km

Froome is talking to Porte. He has also been joined by th🍨ree teammat😼es. He seems in control after Contador's attack set the alarm bells ringing.

The final 2𝄹km of 📖climbing will decide the final podium at the Dauphine.

Cummings passes under the red kite wit𝔉h 1km to go. He's on the🃏 way to another important victory.

Cummings smiles and gives a thumbs up to the TV camera. This is an important win for the British rider and his Dimension Data team, who needs as many WorldTour points as possible.&n💜bsp🔴;

Cummings appr♓oaches the finish and ꦰgives a timid wave of celebration. He wins the final stage! 

Attack by Rolland but he strugglಌes to get away as they ✱reach the final kilometre.

Now Sky ups the pace to stop other attacks. 

There will be a sprint for t𒆙ime bonuses♊ and points.

There is only s🌠ix seconds between Yates and Alaphilippe.

Martin attacks! The riders are lined out. 

Martin i♛s strong and powers to the line to finish second. He could move up to second place.

Froome finishes just behind and is confirmed🎀 the winner of the Dauphine. 

There were several gaps in the line of riders and just a one second gap will be enough to bump Porte down the GC.&n𓃲bsp;

Romai🐼n Bardet (AG2R) is confirmed as third on the stage behind Cummings and Martin.

Porte is shown as finishing five seconds back on Martin.🎃 That means Bardet is second overall behind Froome, with Martin third overall. 

Froome has given Team Sky a fifth victory at the Dauphine. Can he and they go on to 🍸win the Tour de ꧋France too?  

Froome is confirmed as winning by 12 seconds ahead of Bardet, Martin moves up to third overall at 19 seconds, with Porte slipping to fourth a🍌t 21 seconds.

Contad🎃or finished fifth at 35 seconds. However his placing was enough to give him the lead in the UCI WorldTour ranki💃ngs.

It's a hugely successful day for Dimension Data.

Cu💮mmings won the stage, Edvald Boasson Hagen won the green points jersey plus a stage and Daniel Teklehaimanot won the red polka-dot climber's jersey. 

This is the provisional top ten of the stage✃. 

And thﷺe final general classification after stage 7.
