0:00 0:00 On the second ascent of the climb Phil Bauhaus and Dylan Groenewegen both lost contact from the peloton, while Mikkel Frølich Honoré attacked from the peloton in the closing stages. A number of teams set the pace for the main field with Trek-Segafredo, Ineos Grenadiers, and Team BikeExchange particularly active. After the spring, and it was a great spring season, I wasn’t always happy with the feelings in the sprint. Ethan Hayter (Ineos Grenadiers) finished second, with American rider Sean Quinn (EF Education EasyPost) in third.

Now as Trek-Segafredo begins its ramp-up to the Tour de France, Trek has decided to begin in race testing, and in doing so both confirms the existence of the ...

Rather than running directly from the bottom bracket onto a seat post and onto the saddle, Trek has dropped the seat post, leaving a significant gap below the top tube and between the seat stays. As is almost the norm for new aero bikes now, Trek has opted to significantly increase the surface area at both the head tube and bottom bracket areas to improve aerodynamics. A new Trek Madone has broken cover at the Critérium du Dauphiné WorldTour stage race.

Just a couple of months after a brand new Domane was spotted at Paris-Roubaix, another Trek road bike has been spotted hiding in plain sight in the peloton.

Josh has been with us as Senior Tech Writer since the summer of 2019 and throughout that time he's covered everything from buyer's guides and deals to the latest tech news and reviews. The top tube then continues rearward and up into a floating seat tube, into which the seatpost sits.

I was able to hang on and I felt good for the sprint so that’s really nice. They quickly bridge the gap to Rolland after the summit and the gap to the bunch is up to 3’10’’ at km 23. Groenewegen’s BikeExchange-Jayco and Mozzato’s B&B Hotels-KTM drive a hard chase to bring their sprinters back at the front. Mikkel Honoré (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) goes solo with 32km to go, but his lead never gets higher than 15’’ and the Danish rider is caught 10km later as Ineos Grenadiers up the pace. Maxime Bouet (Arkea-Samsic) and Laurens Huys (Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert Matériaux) are chasing in between the front of the race and the peloton. The first ascent of the day, Col de Leyrisse (cat-2, summit at km 19.5), sees some strong climbers get away.

The area around the bottom bracket has increased in size. This creates a hole where the top tube, seatstays and seat tube meet. An integrated seat mast sits above the cut-out.

Maxime Bouet (Team Arkéa - Samsic) is in the gap at 25 seconds. We're still in the neutral zone and it's possible they may stop to wait for him at KM 0. Kevin Colleoni (Team BikeExchange - Jayco) and Chris Harper (Jumbo-Visma) are the two riders doing all the work at the front of the peloton. Current gap is 2'35 with 156km to go. The leaders have 22km before they see Côte du Chambon de Bavas (Cat. 3) for the first time. The gap is just 25 seconds with 35km to go. The gap is still holding at two minutes. The gap between the two groups is 34 seconds with 5km to go. The Dutch squad has come to the Dauphine with a deep roster - it'll be interesting to see what they can do this week. Pierre Rolland (B&B Hotels-KTM) currently has nine points in the KOM competition with one category 3 climb left today. Rolland is accelerating yet again to pad his lead in the KOM. Now Jumbo Visma and Trek are really putting on the pressure.

Belgian champion takes first leader's jersey with bunch sprint victory.

As for how long he can stay with the leader's jersey, Van Aert observed that "the coming stages suit me quite well so we will definitely try to defend if it's possible. On a slightly rising finale, Van Aert was always going to be in his element, and so it proved. But that was as narrow as the gap got. The sight of a flailing Groenewegen at the back of the bunch alone with other sprinters like Juan Sebastian Molano (UAE Team Emirates) made it blatantly obvious why. As a former mountains classification winner in the Tour de France, it was perhaps unsurprising that Rolland grabbed maximum points both on this climb and the other three dotted throughout the stage. Sean Quinn (EF Education-Easy Post) was third.

The Belgian rider sprinted to his fourth win of the year so far.

“We need Dylan to do these hard climbing races to get through the Tour de France,” Durbridge said. I think we still had 15 seconds with 3km to go, by that stage, you can tell if you’re going to make it or not. “Even if we don’t win a stage here, it will really pay off in the Tour, and that can be the icing on the cake.”

All the action as Wout van Aert targets a second stage win.

We'll have all the action from the hilly stage. ⛰The breakaway is approaching the first climb of the day, the côte de Désaignes. ⛰#Dauphiné pic.twitter.com/0MpeyJXIhtJune 6, 2022 Jumbo-Visma are riding but seem to be calling the bluff of other teams. Sean Quinn (EF Education-Easy Post) was third. The sun is out for the start of the 169.8km stage and the riders are lining up for the start. We're expecting a lot of attacks to join the break of the day and then more attacks to distance the sprinters. Bonjour and welcome to the Cyclingnews live coverage of stage 2 of the Criterium du Dauphine. It will reveal the strength and unity of the break and the strength and determination of the peloton. The riders roll out of the centre of Saint-Péray and the flag will soon drop for the official stage start. Here's the break of the day. The sextet and the peloton will soon climb the Côte de Désaignes and the Côte de Saint-Agrève, adding an extra twist to the racing. Down the descent for the breakaway and it's a 3:55 advantage for them.

The result is improved airflow. The most significant change is found at the junction of the frame’s seat tube, top tube and seat stays. However, this new design means the IsoSpeed system is no more. Trek remains tight-lipped at the moment, so any design rationale is purely speculative. Here, the seat tube splits into two and joins the stays, which then connect to the top tube, essentially creating a hole where the seat tube would normally be. Traditional timelines would suggest that the new model will be due for an official launch ahead of this year’s Tour de France but is being raced by a few members of the Trek-Segafredo team this week.

3) Olivier Le Gac (France/Groupama-FDJ) s.t. With 24 km left, the gap was still 1:40. Could the escape stay away to contest the win? Vervloesem was dropped from the break. Xandres Vervloesem of Lotto-Soudal was first at the top of them both. A slightly larger breakaway than Sunday’s formed after 17 km, and a sextet assailed the first two Cat. 3 climbs that formed steps. The peloton got it wrong on Monday’s second stage of the 74th Critérium du Dauphiné and wild card team rider Alexis Vuillermoz outsprinted his breakmates to earn the day’s flowers.
