Preview

Starting the very next day after the Classique des Alpes is the 53rd edition of the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré. A 4 kilometre time trial starting in Morzine and travelling towards Avoriaz will provide the starting point for the eight day event that finishes in Chambéry on June 17.

The race is considered quite important in assessing rider form for the Tour, which is now only four weeks away. The climbs of Mont Ventoux, Chamrousse, Croix-de-Fer, Télégraphe and the Galibier are all on the 1097 kilometre program.

The aforementioned Laurent Jalabert (CSC), Benoit Salmon (Ag2r) and Christophe Moreau (Festina) are considered favourites, as well as Pavel Tonkov (Mercury), Patrice Halgand (Jean Delatour). The US Postal team will miss this in favour of the Tour de Suisse (June 19-28).
