00:00 The day after the crash that shook the Dauphiné peloton, no stage winner and only seven of

00:10 the 22 teams now with a full arsenal of riders as they set off for Colet d'Alvare.

00:15 Remco Evenepoel with dual purpose on stage 6, protect the yellow jersey and test how

00:20 his body reacts.

00:22 I have a small lead on Primoz and a more comfortable lead on the others so I'm going to try to

00:27 defend it.

00:28 I think it's a pretty easy stage with a hard final climb so I think the days that are coming

00:37 tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are going to be more hard in general but I think it's

00:42 already a first big test to see how my shape and body is to go half an hour all out.

00:49 Evenepoel leads Roglic by 33 seconds with Mathieu Jorgensen a further 31 adrift.

00:54 Of course the American and Visma Lisa Byte counting the cost of Steven Kruisvik and Dylan

00:59 van Baarle crashing out.

01:02 I just have seen in the last months how hard they've worked to get skinny, to get fit and

01:08 then just lose it all in a second like that is really disappointing but we'll fight on

01:18 the ones that are here and in their memory let's say just for them and I hope that they

01:26 can get home and get recovered and find some new objectives to focus on.

01:31 French riders have yet to shine, different ways of approaching the task at hand, especially

01:35 after yesterday's crash.

01:37 The gaps are already pretty big in general following the time so there is a chance to

01:43 escape it, which team will be able to come back knowing that there were a lot of injured

01:49 riders so there is a chance to escape it.

01:53 In any case, it will be my goal if not today, over the next two days.

01:58 What will happen, I don't know, we'll see.

02:00 It will also depend on the power that fell.

02:03 In any case, I want to test myself vis-à-vis the other favorites and see how it goes in

02:07 relation to them, what is my level in relation to them.

02:10 We will first test ourselves today to see what we do over the next two days.

02:16 The stage starts from Haute-Rive and heads for the Iser and Savoie regions.

02:20 A relatively flat route with two fantastic climbs.

02:24 First the Col de Granier, a regular on the Dauphiné in recent years even if not on the

02:28 Tour de France since 2012 and then the Col des Dalva, an altitude of 1400m after 11km

02:35 and more than 8% of climbing.

02:37 A relatively easy day until it suddenly isn't.

02:45 By the easy nature of the opening, half of this 173km stage saw six fire off the front

02:52 early doors.

02:53 Romain Gregoire, the best placed rider, nearly three minutes from Remco Evenepoel.

03:00 Thibaut Guernarac was in tow, aiming to protect the king of the mountain jersey of Arkea teammate

03:05 Mathis Lebert.

03:08 Stage two winner, Maunus Cor Nielsen, was also at the front with a goal in mind.

03:15 Hedayne hunting the green jersey of Roglic with an intermediate sprint at Les Echelles.

03:22 With the gap ballooning to nearly six minutes, Soudal Quick-Step took charge as Romain Gregoire

03:27 was now the virtual leader of the Dauphiné.

03:31 Thibaut Guernarac would take the 10 points of the intermediate sprint to be the virtual

03:35 green jersey, although still 15 points available at the summit finish.

03:43 L'Eletrec had Mathis Pedersen leading the charge in service of Giulio Cecconi's stage

03:48 ambitions, the gap gently slipping.

03:52 Guernarac was the first over the top of the Col de Granier, then on the descent the Arkea

03:57 rider and Mason Holyman ran into trouble.

04:07 Guernarac back on to bridge the gap brilliantly to the breakaway, Holyman failed to do likewise,

04:14 the Briton accepting his fate back at the peloton.

04:18 The lead group sent the wrong way, losing around 30 seconds.

04:23 Mathis Pedersen and Ryan Gibbons' work was done, time for others to dig deep.

04:28 Ineos and UAE hit the front with the gradient about to really kick hard.

04:33 Gregoire the first to make a move from the break, taking only Cornelissen with him.

04:39 Already riders blowing up, Visma seeing Sep Kuss distance the too much for Tay Gagand

04:43 Hart, while up front Gregoire kicked to drop the Welshman's L'Eletrec teammate.

04:49 The Frenchman already the combative of the day, could he be in for a stunning breakaway

04:53 win?

04:54 Yet with 5k to go, especially hard with Ineos making a move.

05:07 L'Anse de Plusse soon followed by Borhans Grover, Alexander Vlasov keeping tabs, with

05:12 every revolution of the wheels riders dropping, Martin, Codou and Butrago find themselves

05:18 adrift.

05:19 De Plusse and Vlasov would soon have company, Ciccone hitting the accelerator, stopped successfully

05:26 by Roglic.

05:27 Jorgensen, Rodriguez and Derek Gee making it a small elite group of 7, yet formed without

05:32 Remco Evenepoel, Mikel Landa trying to pace for the Belgian 30 seconds behind.

05:37 Borro's masterplan coming to fruition, as Vlasov began to lead Roglic, and only the

05:42 Italian Ciccone could follow.

05:44 Remco did make a last ditch effort to stay in yellow, but once Vlasov launched Roglic,

05:50 the Slovene in total control.

06:20 With the Tour de France in sight, a sign of strength for Roglic and Borra, a new collaboration

06:28 that's been injury interrupted, but two months after his first, Roglic finally a second win

06:33 of the season, and even better, victory putting him into Dauphine Yellow.

06:48 Roglic with a show of strength to win the stage, his first in the Dauphine in four years.

07:15 Ciccone second, while Borra celebrated a 1-3, Vlasov third.

07:20 2022 champion Roglic now dreaming of a second Dauphine crown, early days, but a 52 second

07:26 swing gives a 34 year old a slender advantage over Remco.

07:30 And further cheers, as Roglic doubled up with the points jersey.

07:34 Ciccone will ride in green tomorrow.

07:38 Le Maire took it easy as his team helped protect his king of the mountain status, though under

07:43 threat from Roglic and Ciccone, especially with two mountainous stages to come.

07:48 Remco only left with the white jersey after failing to respond to Borra's play, Jorgensen

07:52 his closest rival.

07:55 The Alpine trilogy will continue on Saturday with act two, one that packs an even bigger

07:59 punch with an altitude gain of 4,000 meters over 145 kilometers.
