The 55th Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré concluded today with a 174 km stage and a final test in the mountains for the general classification leaders. Frenchman Cédric Vasseur of Cofidis escaped on the penultimate climb, the Col du Coq, and held onto his advantage to enjoy a solo victory on the streets of Grenoble. American Lance Armstrong, race leader since Wednesday's individual time trial, fended off final attacks from challenger Iban Mayo and arrived safely to defend his second consecutive Dauphiné title.

Commenting afterwards, Lance Armstrong called it "the hardest Dauphiné Libéré I ever entered because of the scorching heat and because of the very difficult course. There were good days and bad days. My best moment came when I won the time trial (in stage three), the worst when I crashed (in stage five). For the last two days, I have not been feeling very well. My body is aching all over (and) I'm taking antibiotics."

He remained confident that he would overcome his injuries in time for the Tour de France, which starts on July 5 in Paris. "It could change a lot of things in the last weeks of training before the Tour but I think that I'm already in good shape and that I can afford to spend some time with my family and relax," he added.

How it unfolded

The final stage of the week-long race featured three climbs: the Cat. 2 Col du Lautaret, Cat. 1 Col du Coq, and the Cat. 2 Col de Porte. The last two climbs presented the principal challenge for the day, coming back to back in the final 40 km of racing, with a fast 16 km downhill plunge to Grenoble. Today's race capped a week of sunny skies and hot temperatures in the French Alps. The final stage also took its tool, as 17 riders abandoned during the race. Tyler Hamilton (CSC), who suffered from stomach problems for most of the week, opted not to start the day.

Early in the stage, on the descent of the Col du Lautaret, seven riders broke clear and worked together to eventually gain up to eight minutes over the peloton. In the group were Philippe Gilbert and Christophe Mengin (FDJeux.com), Samuel Dumoulin and Christophe Edaleine (Jean Delatour), Andy Flickinger (Ag2R), Sébastien Talabardon (BigMat), and Jérôme Pineau (Brioches La Boulangère). This lead group held its advantage throughout the long transition between the first and second mountains, with the field behind led by Quick.Step-Davitamon and some tempo riding from race leader Armstrong's US Postal team.

On the 12.5 km climb of the Col du Coq, the break was reeled in, and Vasseur chose the moment to try his hand at a solo move. Edaleine persisted with his efforts from the breakaway, and although never able to rejoin Vasseur, he would manage to stay clear of the chase groups behind. Vasseur gained a sizable advantage over the main chase group, which included Armstrong, Mayo, Christophe Moreau, David Millar, among others. Millar dug deep to keep in contact and preserve his third place overall. Dropped at times on the climb, he never fell too far behind the yellow jersey group.

Iban Mayo, who put Armstrong in some difficulty on the Col du Galibier the day before, showed his true character and refused to concede defeat to the American until the race was over. Mayo attacked several times on the Col du Coq, churning away in the big ring on the difficult climb and showing he would not let Armstrong's dominance deter him from mountain a challenge. Unfortunately for Mayo, Armstrong had all the answers, and never let the Euskaltel rider gain the sort of advantage he had on the Galibier

Vasseur meanwhile remained out front with over three minutes advantage as he wound down the narrow and technical descent of the Col du Coq. He arrived at the foot of the final test, the Col de Porte, with his lead intact, and looked strong to tackle the shorter and more gradual climb. By the summit he was still alone, having only conceded some 30" to the chase.

Christophe Moreau, who stood to profit from Millar's difficulty in following the rhythm on the climbs, set a strong tempo for virtually the entire climb of the Col de Porte. By this time, Mayo knew he was unlikely to escape the clutches of Armstrong's yellow jersey, and he stuck by Armstrong's wheel for the duration of the climb and Moreau set the pace. The chase was whittled down to just four riders, Moreau, Armstrong, Mayo, and yesterday's winner Juan Miguel Mercado, as Millar limited the damage less the a minute behind, and thus maintained his placed on the final podium.

By the summit of the Dauphiné's final climb, the match was set. Vasseur was clear to ride to the finish and avoid unnecessary risks on the descent, and Armstrong had answered all of Mayo's attempts to upset his overall lead. The group of four arrived together in Grenoble, where Mayo took the sprint for third place on the stage (behind Edaleine, who remained between Vasseur and the chasers) and Armstrong sealed another stage race victory.

Armstrong commented previously that riders who are good now may not enjoy the same success in the Tour de France, but he clearly has a worthy opponent in Iban Mayo, who rivaled the four-time Tour winner in both the time trials and the high mountains of this year's Dauphiné. For the American, he proved without question that doubts about his fitness in the weeks before the Tour were unfounded, and looks set to be the man to beat in the centenary Tour de France.
