New Canyon Ultimate finally breaks cover at Criterium du Dauphine (road.cc)

Spotted at Movistar Team's bus, the new Ultimate has fully internal cable routing and what looks to be the same adjustable cockpit used on the Canyon ...

Rim brake and aluminium-framed versions may be more of a long shot, but we'll wait and see when the new Ultimate officially launches... His cycling life began during his students days, when he cobbled together a few hundred quid off the back of a hard winter selling hats (long story) and bought his first road bike - a Trek 1.1 that was quickly relegated to winter steed, before it was sadly pinched a few years later. At the front we see the bike has retained a tall--ish head tube and angular fork, with the big changes coming at the cockpit. There's still plenty of room between seat tube and rear tyre on this particular bike, suggesting that the new Ultimate will have plenty of tyre clearance. We've known it's been coming for quite a while now, and finally the new Canyon Ultimate has been seen in the wild. How on the money were our predictions in March? Well we can claim the 'more aero' prediction first off, as the full internal cabling and non-round seatpost must tick that box.

Criterium du Dauphine stage 8 - Live coverage (Cyclingnews.com)

Primoz Roglic leads overall before final mountain stage. Stage 8 is short but packed with mountains and ends with a 9% climb to Plateau de Solaison.

The peloton have passed the flag drop and are racing! As such, there is a fierce contest for today's breakaway happening at the moment. It's been a bit of a frantic start with the composition of the breakaway changing quite a lot. It has opened up an advantage of 25 seconds over the Jumbo-Visma controlled peloton. The summit of the Col de la Colombière is beautiful. Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) holds a 14 point lead in the green jersey competition, while Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X Pro Cycling) is a second ahead of Matteo Jorgensen (Movistar) in the white jersey competition. Although the Col de la Colombière has not technically started yet, the road is already climbing upwards. There’s a lot more GC contenders so I think the competiton will be a bit harder and it is harder to win but we go for at least one of us trying to win the race.” Rolland is among those riders who have been dropped by the breakaway. To win a stage and finish second overall is a very very nice result." "I think it would be hard for us to be 1-2 in the Tour because there are a few more riders. "In the Ardennes Classics I didn’t have the best period but now I think I’m back at a really high level and for sure very happy about this.

Jonas Vingegaard and Primoz Roglic finished the Dauphine as one, ascending the final climb and crossing the line together, to take stage win and GC title.

Along with the Australian, the only other riders able to hang onto the Jumbo-Visma train were Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious) and Esteban Chaves (EF Education Easy Post). The podium secured and with nothing to gain from going into the red, O’Connor settled into a tempo ride to the finish. At times the pair seemed to enjoy the experience, confident that they could not be caught. 7. Esteban Chaves (EF Education Easypost) +3:18s 9. Ruben Guerreiro (EF Education Easypost) 3:48s 7. Esteban Chaves (EF Education Easypost) +3:18s Too strong for sixth place David Gaudu, who was soon no longer among the favourites, with Geoghegan Hart another top ten rider winnowed out of contention. O’Connor was the last rider left but he could do nothing about a surging Vingegaard, as the Dane flew past Kruiswijk, Roglic on his wheel. Though it held steady on the descent, the broad valley road was where the damage was done. As the Dutch squad breathed down their necks, it became clear that such a large group could not hope to stay together, if any of them had any hopes of staying away. Still with Van Aert heading the line, the bunch strung out at almost 60kph towards the base of the final climb. Pierre Rolland made his customary pilgrimage up the road, despite having already secured the points needed to make the mountains title a mathematical certainty.
