Live race coverage

Dauphiné Libéré, June 7-14: With an opening time trial, too long to be considered a prologue, a second longer time trial, and a mountaintop finish at Mont Ventoux (photo above), this year the Dauphiné Libéré more than ever seems to be the perfect preparation for the summer's big event, the Tour de France. This year's route was designed to appeal to Lance Armstrong who in the past favored this race for Tour preparation. Alas, Armstrong will fly stateside tonight after finishing the Giro d'Italia, for the birth of his fourth child. Ventoux is just one of a number of tough mountains featured in this Dauphiné Libéré. Tour contender Alberto Contador will be back in action. He has made it clear he doesn't like Ventoux. Few riders do. Contador will be joined on the start line by the likes of Alejandro Valverde, Oscar Pereiro, Cadel Evans, Robert Gesink, and Inigo Landaluze. I covered the Dauphiné on location four consecutive years, starting with Lance Armstrong's second overall victory in 2003 through Levi Leipheimer's victory in 2006. It's one of my favorite races to cover; it is like a week of the Tour de France in the Alps without the traffic jams. You'll find the Dauphiné Libéré official website here. More to come tomorrow, Monday, and throughout the week. -Pete Dauphiné Libéré LIVE coverage at www.cyclingfans.com photo Copyright © 2009 Pete Geyer/www.cyclingfans.com
