Countryside bike tour

My wife and I did the countryside bike tour. Our guide Jane was lovely, informative and friendly, really enjoyed the tour and will definitely recommend it to family and friends.

I booked a bike tour for 9 of us through trip advisor but then 2 dropped out so I cancelled and rebooked, however I accidentally booked for a day earlier than I'd planned and didn't realise until we turned up on a busy Saturday morning. The lady at the front was gutted that she couldn't fit us in on any tours that day, everything was fully booked. She was very apologetic (and it was completely my fault) so she offered us bikes to use on our own for 24 hours and gave us a map which she had no obligation to do so I was impressed.

We went on the countryside bike tour. It was a small group of only 4 people which was very nice. Throughout the journey we escaped the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam, saw some beautiful countryside, windmill still in use, had lunch in a small beautiful town at an old pub, and climbed a tower for a great view. It was well worth the journey and a really nice way to get more of an idea of what the Netherlands is actually like. Would highly recommend this tour and company.

We really enjoyed our bike tour of Amsterdam. Our guide Janne was friendly, she had lots of knowledge about the city and was able to answer all of our questions. I was unsure as I haven't ridden a bike for many years but they were very easy to ride and well maintained. We really enjoyed our 2 hour ride around Amsterdam and would highly recommend it.

We took the countryside tour. Our guide, David was very informative. A lovely way to see the Dutch countryside

We came to Amsterdam knowing we wanted to do a bike ride 100%, so the first day we arrived we were looking for bike tour places near our apartment and we found this place. My favourite colour is yellow so this sold me straight away. The staff were friendly and there were no language barriers. There was a small mix up as we booked in for a tour and when we arrived for this tour we were made aware that the tour guide was ill on this day and we rearranged for later that day, for the inconvenience one of the staff gave us some money for the 30 min break in the bike tour for food and drinks. This was not expected and was a lovely thing to do. At the start of the bike tour we were introduced to our friendly tour guide and we took off... I had not ridden a bike in so long it took me a while to get used to the pedals and the anxiety got to me with Amsterdam being such a busy city (trams, cars, other bikes, pedestrians) and the tour guide was so helpful to me and put me at ease. Would 100% recommend this company.

Tour de France-winning yellow bikes — the celebratory winners' bikes from 2010-present rated

First Published Jul 21, 2023

When a rider takes the leader's jersey at the Tour de France, teams and mechanics quickly honour the achievement with special bikes and accessories. While we wait for our 2023 winner and the yellow bike they will ride around the Champs-ÉlysĂ©es, we're looking back on some of the Tour de France-winning bikes from the past decade. 

Am ong  the many perks of winning the Tour de France is getting to ride around Paris on a special yellow bike to match the maillot jaune, sometimes with a glass of bubbly and often at a pretty leisurely pace. This is because the last stage is almost always a procession, unless the organisers have a trick up their sleeve like that famous stage 21 time trial won by Greg LeMond in 1989. 

Team Sky/Ineos have won the Tour de France seven times since 2010, so admittedly this round-up is a bit of a  Pinarello-fest. B ut, nevertheless,  w hich Tour de France-winning bike is your favourite? Let's go through them... 

Alberto Contador ( 2010)

Specialized S-Works - Alberto Contador full bike

Alberto Contador won the Tour de France in 2007 and 2009, and initially 'won' the Tour in 2010 but was stripped of his title after failing a doping test. 

I trawled through the archives and came across this garish special edition Specialized S-Works ridden by Contador in 2010, complete with a picture of the man himself on the top tube. 

If you didn't notice this image, you're sure to know it's his anyway thanks to the red decals of 'Contador' on the seat post, seat tube, seat stay and chain stay. 

On to some of the components: Contador used a SRAM groupset and Zipp wheels complete with yellow decals, and Specialized cranks and stem dipped in yellow paint. 

Cadel Evans (2011)

> As seen in the Tour de France — Affordable* pro race bikes

2011 was Cadel Evans' turn to unveil a custom yellow bike for the final stage of the Tour, and he didn't disappoint with this BMC Teammachine SLR01. 

The SLR01 was BMC's flagship model, and Evans' bike was complete with Shimano Dura-Ace Di2, an SRM power meter, EA90 stem and Easton EC90 bars with yellow handlebar tape, plus an Easton carbon wheel set finished off nicely with yellow decals. 

Finishing touches included Speedplay pedals and a yellow Fiziki Antares saddle. 

Bradley Wiggins (2012)

> 2023 Tour de France bikes — your definitive guide

Throughout the 2012 edition of the Tour de France Team Sky were riding the Pinarello Dogma 2, but Wiggins made the switch to the Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think 2 for the final stage. This was unveiled ahead of the Tour. 

The frame design was similar to the Dogma 2, with Pinarello's trademark wavy fork and seat stays, but the 65.1 used 65Ton HM 1K carbon fibre which was said to be more rigid, more reactive and lighter. 

Wiggins' setup included a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 7970 groupset, Osymetric chainrings, Shimano C50 wheelset and PRO cockpit with yellow bartape. 

Chris Froome (2013)

2013 Chris Froome yellow tdf bike

Like Wiggins, Chris Froome's custom yellow bike was the Pinarello Dogma 65.1 Think 2. He had been riding a yellow-accented Dogma during his time in the maillot jaune, but swapped it for this complete yellow build for the final stage. 

But, unlike Wiggins, Froome opted for black bartape, saddle and pedals, not quite going all out on the yellow.  

Vincenzo Nibali (2014)

Vincenzo Nibali custom TdF Specialized (1)

Specialized delivered this customised Tarmac for 2014 Tour de France winner Vincenzo Nibali for the final stage of the race. They steered clear of the obvious route of painting everything yellow, however, and matched the black base colour with yellow decals and graphics.

Corima delivered yellow stickered wheels to match the frame. Look did the same with the pedals, and Campagnolo supplied yellow hoods for the Super Record mechanical groupset. FSA produced a yellow stem, handlebar and seatpost to add to the build. Yellow bar tape completed the bike. 

It's a bit less garish than the all-yellow Pinarello Dogma bikes that Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome rode in 2012 and 2013 respectively. 

Chris Froome (2016)

chris froome yellow pinarello.png

> 2016 Tour de France winner Chris Froome rides a yellow Pinarello into Paris

Chris Froome won the yellow jersey at the Tour de France for three consecutive years: 2015, 2016, 2017. With this came quite the collection of yellow bikes, so we've picked one from his three-year winning streak, the Pinarello Dogma F8 . 

The Dogma F8 was almost identical to the bike Froome rode in 2015. It was the Italian company's first aero road bike, developed with Team Sky partner Jaguar, and became the main race bike for the team. 

Froome's yellow bikes all featured the Rhino motif on the top tube, a nod to his roots and his support for Unite for Wildlife, a charity that was set up to put an end to the illegal wildlife trade.

The rest of the bike was also business a usual, with a Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and his favourite Osymetric chainrings, Dura-Ace C50 wheels with Continental tyres and PRO handlebar and stem.

Geraint Thomas (2018)

pinarello geraint thomas 3

> Geraint Thomas’s Pinarello Dogma F10 X-Light

This is the Pinarello Dogma F10 X-Light that Geraint Thomas used to win the gruelling 2018 edition of the Tour de France, painted yellow for the final stage around Paris.

The Dogma F10 X-Light was about 60g lighter than the standard Dogma F10 thanks to a slightly more expensive carbon fibre layup, but it had the exact same tube profiles as the standard bike.

Thomas had the one-piece Talon handlebar made by Most, the component brand owned by Pinarello, and chose a 130mm length stem. The whole lot was dipped in yellow paint and finished off with some yellow bar tape. 

The Dogma frame was complete with a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 R9150 groupset, Shimano Dura-Ace C60 wheels and a Fizik Arione R1. 

Egan Bernal (2019)

egan bernal pinarello4

The last of the Pinarello bikes in our round-up is Egan Bernal's Pinarello Dogma F12 , and of course it's complete with a handwritten congratulations from Pinarello boss Fausto Pinarello.

Bernal used regular Dura-Ace C60 wheels despite using Lightweight Meilenstein wheels for the mountain stages. There was also a Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 groupset with a 53/39t chainset, an 11-30t cassette and a Shimano power meter. 

He used the new Most Talon carbon aero one-piece handlebar and stem at the time, with a 13cm stem and 40cm wide handlebar. A Fizik Antares saddle with carbon rails and Shimano SPD-SL pedals completed the build.

The seat post, MOST Talon handlebar and the Fizik saddle, bar tape and Elite bottle cages were all finished with yellow.

Tadej Pogačar (2020)

Tour de France 2020 Pogacar Yellow Colnago

>  The bike(s) that snatched Tour de France victory at the last minute - Pogacar's Colnagos

With Pogacar winning in 2020 and 2021, again we've picked one of the two bikes. We've gone for the considerably yellow-er 2020 bike. 

2020 was the year that a rider on a Colnago with rim brakes and a Campagnolo Super Record groupset won the Tour de France - although admittedly, it was Colnago's K.One time trial bike that Tadej Pogačar propelled to a shock victory over his compatriot PrimoĆŸÂ Roglič after overturning a large time deficit to snatch the yellow jersey on stage 20. 

This was a significant victory for Colnago, as this was the first time a rider had won the  world’s biggest bike race on a bike that actually bears its name. Eddy  Merckx won numerous Tour titles on bikes designed and made by Colnago, but the bikes were never badged as such. 

Pogacar used Campagnolo Bora WTO wheels, the Deda Alanera integrated bar and a Prologo Scratch M5 saddle. No details were spared on his celebratory bike, that was personally checked by Ernesto Colnago himself before it was rushed to Paris for stage 21. It was complete with a yellow seat tube, bar tape and yellow Look Keo Blade Carbon pedals with 20Nm blades.

Jonas Vingegaard (2022)

Vingegaard Cervelo S5 Tour de France Yellow Bike 3

> Jonas Vingegaard's Cervelo S5

​Last year, Jumbo-Visma raced the Tour de France on a yet-to-be-announced update to the Cervelo S5. Fortunately, Cervelo had a full yellow S5 frameset tucked away for the final stage, which was built up after Vingegaard had sealed victory in the penultimate stage.

A brand new Shimano Dura-Ace R9200 groupset was installed onto the glossy frame. The bike was equipped with R9200-P power meter cranks from Shimano and Dura-Ace pedals. 

The Dura-Ace theme continues with the wheels, with the mechanics installing the C60 for the fast and flat laps around Paris. The wheels were tubular, and Vittoria's Corsa G2.0 were looking lovely with their tan sidewalls.

Vingegaard Cervelo S5 Tour de France Yellow Bike 2

Adding to this special paint job is the phrase 'Jonas vinder gult', a play on Vingegaard's name. When translated from Danish it reads 'Jonas wins yellow'. Clever! 

Will we be seeing a yellow Cervelo with a 1x set-up ridden to Paris by the defending champion this year? 

Annemiek van Vleuten (2022)

Annemiek van Vleuten Tour de France Femmes yellow bike A.S.O./Thomas Maheux

Annemiek van Vleuten rode to victory at the first Tour de France Femmes in 2022, winning the week-long race by nearly four minutes. 

Van Vleuten used her aero Canyon Aeroad CFR throughout the Tour de France Femmes rather than going for the lighter Ultimate, and started the final stage on the yellow bike. This was complete with yellow bar tape, wheel and groupset decals, and even a yellow chain.

Van Vleuten's bike was equipped with a SRAM Red AXS groupset and a Quarq power meter chainset with 52/39-tooth chainrings. She was also using Zipp 303 Firecrest wheels and a Fizik Vento Argo 00 short-nosed saddle. 

Jonas Vingegaard (2023)

2023 Jonas Vingegaard Tour de France Yellow cervelo S5 studio shot

And of course, then there's the latest edition to the list, Jonas Vingegaard's second all-yellow Cervelo S5. This year's differs a bit from his one from 2022. For starters, it has a SRAM Red AXS groupset instead of Shimano. Secondly, it's running Reserve wheels, again, instead of Shimano. 

Vingegaard undertook the majority of mountain stages on a Cervelo R5, the Canadian brand's lightweight race bike, but the Danish rider did use the S5 several times at this year's Tour including on the penultimate mountain stage when he foolishly tried to outsprint a resurgent Pogacar. 

2023 Jonas Vingegaard Tour de France Yellow cervelo S5 jumbo visma final stage (Zac Williams/Sw Pix)

As predicted, Vingegaard used a 1x setup in this year's Tour de France – on the very first and last stages, to be precise.

In the official press release photos, however, the bike is blinged up with this gold chain and cassette, but by the time Vingegaard made it to Paris, he was on a more traditional, albeit 1x, silver affair.

2023 Jonas Vingegaard Tour de France Yellow cervelo S5 Jaunas

Other accents include the yellow Reserve wheel stickers and, of course, the word "Jaunus" on the seat tube, a play on the Vingegaard's first name Jonas and Jaune, French for yellow.

Vingegaard sticks to his usual Fizik Vento Antares 00 saddle, tanwall Vittoria Corsa Pro tubeless tyres, and shifters which look far more like SRAM Force AXS than SRAM Red.

Vincenzo is nice and you can’t complain about the Cervelo or Colnago unless you have hand a head injury from crashing due to not wearing a helmet.

Awful, all of them, even the Colnago.

Needs a 10 year driving ban (and front-page condemnation in all the MSM), as do all those selfish fuckers. And immediately prison time if caught...

So, just after the evidence comes out showing that 20mph limits reduce casualties, the Conservatives announce that they will ban them if elected....

I'm giving this post 3 stars as the driver got away after 20 minutes. 

Reminds me of the Vesta meals from the 70s

That's why I'd much rather have a transcript as you can skip any boring bits and read at whatever speed you prefer.

"Drivers" would be my caption - it was called something like "the nature of life" on my FB feed. 

That's why, when I'm walking or riding, I accidentally kick over cyclists dismount signs.

That's a lot of money for cupping your lower fat pads

Also, plenty of military sites wouldn't be enthused about the public wandering around to see where their tax money is being spent.

Exactly what previous generations said about television, rock 'n' roll music, the wireless
there were probably cavemen back in the Stone Age...

Countdown to the 2024 Critérium du Dauphiné: Excitement Mounts in Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule

The eight-day mini-Tour de France begins this Sunday with a 174.8 km stage and features top contenders, diverse stages, and the iconic Yellow Leader’s Jersey.

73rd criteacuterium du dauphineacute 2021 stage 8

Like many European bike races, the CritĂ©rium du DauphinĂ© (we just call it “the DauphinĂ©â€) was originally created to promote a local newspaper, the DauphinĂ© LibĂ©rĂ©, a provincial newspaper that covers the Auvergne-RhĂŽne-Alpes region of south-central France—the area that the race calls its home. In fact, the race was actually called the “DauphinĂ© LibĂ©rĂ©â€ until 2010, at which point it was taken over by the Amaury Sport Organisation (A.S.O.), the organizers of the Tour de France .

The race highlights one of the most beautiful regions in France, an area that includes the Alps, Mont Ventoux, and the Massif Central. This gives the organizers lots of options when it comes to building a challenging course, and they often create stages that mirror those in the upcoming Tour de France. This is one of the main reasons why it’s a popular dress rehearsal for General Classification riders hoping to be at their best for the French grand tour.

cyclisme dauphine libere peloton

And it’s not uncommon for riders to win the CritĂ©rium du DauphinĂ© and then the Tour de France six weeks later. Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard-Hansen did it last year with Jumbo-Visma. Team Sky made winning both races a habit in the 2010s, with Britons Chris Froome winning both events in 2013, 2015, and 2016, and Geraint Thomas winning the DauphinĂ©-Tour combo in 2018.

It’s also a race that has traditionally favored Americans. Five riders from the United States have won the prestigious event in its 75-year history, and we wouldn’t be surprised if America makes it six by the time the race wraps up on the Plateau des Gliùres next Sunday.

Here’s everything you need to know about the 2024 CritĂ©rium du DauphinĂ©, one of the most exciting and important week-long stage races of the season:

This year’s DauphinĂ© covers 1203.8 km (746 mi) spread over eight stages. The race begins Sunday with Stage 1, a jagged road stage around Saint-Pourçain-sur-Sioule that–despite three categorized climbs early in the stage–should end with a field sprint.

But Monday’s Stage 2, a 142-kilometer road stage that begins in Gannat, definitely won’t. That stage contains four categorized climbs, including two Category 2 ascents on the way to an uphill finish on the Col de la Loge. This could be an early day for the Dauphiné’s General Classification contenders to try and take the yellow leader’s jersey. If they don’t, the stage will certainly go to a breakaway filled with puncheurs .

timeline

Stage 3 continues this year’s punchy trend with a hilly route filled with five categorized climbs. The 181.2-kilometer stage begins in Celles-sur-Durolle and ends with an uphill finish on the Category 3 climb to Les Estables, a 3.8km climb with an average gradient of 5.2 percent.

timeline

Wednesday brings Stage 4, a 34.4-kilometer individual time trial from Saint-Germain-Laval to Neulise. This should cause the first real shuffling of the General Classification of the race, with men like PrimoĆŸ Roglič (BORA-hansgrohe) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) among the favorites to win the stage and take the yellow jersey.

Thursday’s Stage 5 is the longest stage of the DauphinĂ©, a 200.2-kilometer ride from Amplepuis to Saint-Priest. Even with four categorized climbs spread throughout the stage. This should be the last chance for the sprinters–unless a breakaway ruins their plans.

And then come the mountains, starting with Friday’s Stage 6, a 173.2-kilometer stage that starts in Hauterives and ends with a summit finish on the hors categorie (“Beyond Category”) Collet d’Allevard, an 11.1km climb with an average gradient of 8.1-percent.

diagram

Starting in Albertville, Stage 7 is even harder, with four Category 1 ascents and then a summit finish on the hors categorie climb to the SamoĂ«ns 1600 ski resort–all crammed into just 145.5 km. The climb to SamoĂ«ns 1600 is a beast: 10 km long, the climb averages 9.3 percent–and even that’s a bit misleading thanks to the opening kilometer’s 3.3 percent average gradient. With over 4,200m of elevation gain, this is the hardest stage in this year’s DauphinĂ©.

chart

But just in case the race hasn’t been decided yet, Stage 8 ends the week with a bang. Beginning in the town of ThĂŽnes–near the base of the Category 1 Col de la Forclaz de Montmin–the 152.5km stage takes the riders over three categorized climbs before yet another summit finish, this time on the Category 1 Plateau des GliĂšres. This is another short, intense stage that should provide an exciting conclusion to the 2024 CritĂ©rium du DauphinĂ©.

NBC’s Peacock ($5.99/month or $59.99/year) streams all events organized by A.S.O., which means you can watch the DauphinĂ© in June and then the Tour de France in July. If you’re looking for ad-free coverage, you’ll need a subscription to Peacock Premium Plus , which runs $11.99 per month or $119.99 for the year.

The Peacock app is available on Roku, Apple devices, Android and AndroidTV devices, Google platforms, Chromecast, Xbox consoles, PlayStation 4 and 5 consoles, VIZIO SmartCast TVs, and LG Smart TVs. You can also watch online via the Peacock website.

If you’re in Canada, FloBikes ($29.99/month CDN) is the best way to watch the CritĂ©rium du DauphinĂ© with all eight stages available live and on-demand on FloBikes.com , the FloSports IOS app, and the FloSports app for Amazon FireTV, Roku, and Apple TV.

If you have cable and prefer conventional television viewing, each stage of the DauphinĂ© will be shown on CNBC. This year, the network looks set to show replays, as–according to NBC’s website–Stage 1 is scheduled to air at 1:00 p.m. EDT, a few hours after the stage is expected to end.

The CritĂ©rium du DauphinĂ© will be broadcast in the United Kingdom and around Europe on Discovery+ , which carries Eurosport ’s live coverage. The Basic plan is priced at ÂŁ3.99 per month or ÂŁ39.99 annually in the UK (7-day free trial included), and it can be integrated into your Amazon Prime Video account.

As it did the year before (sorta), the 2023 CritĂ©rium du DauphinĂ© served as a bit of a crystal ball heading into the Tour de France, with Denmark’s Jonas Vingegaard and Jumbo-Visma dominating the race from start to finish. In all, the Dutch super-team won four stages, with France’s Christophe Laporte winning Stages 1 and 3 (and the green jersey as the winner of the Points Classification) and Vingegaard winning Stages 5 and 7 on his way to winning the race overall. The Dane won his second consecutive Tour de France six weeks later.

75th criterium du dauphine 2023 stage 7

Great Britain’s Adam Yates (UAE Team Emirates) finished second–he went on to finish third at the Tour de France–and Australia’s Ben O’Connor (AG2R CitroĂ«n Team) finished third. Spain’s Carlos Rodriguez won the white jersey as the Dauphiné’s Best Young Rider, and Italy’s Giulio Ciccone (Trek-Segafredo) won the polka dot jersey as the Dauphiné’s King of the Mountains.

PrimoĆŸ Roglič (BORA-hansgrohe)

63rd itzulia basque country 2024 stage 1

Roglič won the CritĂ©rium du DauphinĂ© in 2022 and is once again using the French WorldTour stage race as a dress rehearsal for the Tour de France. The Slovenian was one of the victims of the horrible crash in April’s Itzulia Basque Country –the same crash that took down Vingegaard, who won’t be participating in this year’s DauphinĂ© due to his injuries (he’s at a training camp instead).

Roglič abandoned the Basque race immediately–despite being the race leader at the time–but he was among the less injured of the riders who went down. So, while he was forced to skip the Ardennes Classics, he remained largely on track for the Tour.

The DauphinĂ© will be his last stop before heading to the Grand Depart in Florence, and his performance here will go a long way toward determining whether or not he has a realistic chance of winning his first Tour de France. And his BORA-hansgrohe team is stacked, with basically all the riders we expect to support the Slovenian at the Tour joining him at the start, including Australia’s Jai Hindley, who won a stage and spent a day in the yellow jersey in last year’s Tour de France–and won the 2022 Giro d’Italia .

Remco Evenepoel (Soudal–Quick-Step)

topshot cycling fra paris nice 2024

Evenepoel was another victim of the Basque crash that took down Vingegaard and Roglič–the Belgian broke his right clavicle and scapula. That wiped out the rest of his spring program, but now he’s healed and back on his bike–and reports say that his training is going well. Like most competitors, the DauphinĂ© will be the Belgian’s last test before the Tour. He’s likely targeting the time trial–he’s the reigning world champion in the discipline–but we’re more eager to see how he fares against the other contenders on the summit finishes at the end of Stages 6, 7, and 8. We’re also curious to see how his team–which has traditionally been built more for one-day classics–handles itself against proven stage race squads like BORA, Visma, and INEOS.

Carlos RodrĂ­guez (INEOS Grenadiers)

63rd itzulia basque country 2024 stage 6

RodrĂ­guez finished ninth overall and won the white jersey as the Best Young Rider in last year’s DauphinĂ©, an impressive ride that perhaps should have been more hyped (blame jumbo-Visma’s dominance for that). But his performance turned out to be a sneak preview of what the Spaniard would do at the Tour, where he finished fifth overall and won a stage in the mountains.

Just 23 years old, RodrĂ­guez has continued to improve throughout the spring: he finished second at Itzulia Basque Country and then won the Tour de Romandie, his first WorldTour stage race victory. Assuming he’s saving his best for the Tour, we’re expecting another top-10–possibly top-5–finish at the DauphinĂ©, which would make him a true podium contender in July.

Sepp Kuss (Visma–Lease a Bike)

40th vuelta ciclista a la regioacuten de murcia quotcosta calidaquot 2024

With Vingegaard uncertain about riding the Tour de France following his crash, Kuss might end up being Visma’s GC captain, a stunning turn of events for a rider who spent much of last season as a support rider–at least until he took a surprise win at the Vuelta a España in September.

The American has had a quiet season so far, racing just a handful of times and spending the majority of his time at training camps. In fact, the Dauphiné will be the first time raced since the Itzulia Basque Country in early April. His performance will give us at least a hint as to whether or not he has the legs to be a true podium contender at the Tour.

Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates)

63rd itzulia basque country 2024 stage 6

Ayuso joins RodrĂ­guez at the forefront of a new generation of young, Spanish grand tour contenders. Just 21 years old, he already has two top-5 finishes at the Vuelta a España , including a third-place finish in 2022. Like RodrĂ­guez, he seems to get better with every race he enters–he took second at Tirreno-Adriatico and fifth at the Tour of Romandie. And like RodrĂ­guez, the Spaniard also won his first WorldTour stage this spring–the Tour of the Basque Country. And while he’s heading to the Tour to support Slovenia’s Tadej Pogačar , we’re expecting him to be racing for himself at the Dauphiné–which could be bad news for the race’s other contenders.

Matteo Jorgenson (Visma–Lease a Bike)

cycling fra paris nice 2024 podium

If an American does win this year’s CritĂ©rium du DauphinĂ©, don’t be surprised if it’s Jorgenson, a 24-year-old who was born in Walnut Creek, California but grew up in Boise, Idaho. After spending the first few seasons of his WorldTour career with Movistar, Jorgenson transferred to Visma-Lease a Bike this past off-season and has since taken a major step forward, winning his first WorldTour stage race–Paris-Nice-and his first major one-day Classic–Dwars door Vlaanderen.

His last event was the Amstel Gold Race in mid-April, and he’s spent the past six weeks training for the Tour de France. And with Kuss likely biding his time for the Tour de France, there’s a good chance that he’ll be given the chance to try and win the DauphinĂ© before taking on more of a supporting role at the Tour. Visma has only scratched the surface of Jorgenson's potential, and this could be the race in which he takes another big step forward in his development as a rider.

Critérium du Dauphiné stage 7 Live - Summit finish GC battle

Critérium du dauphiné: primož roglič wins on le collet d'allevard to take yellow from remco evenepoel.

Slovenian's victory on stage 6 puts him in pole position for overall victory

How it unfolded

Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe) took control of the Critérium du Dauphiné by winning stage 6 atop Le Collet d'Allevard. The Slovenian showcased his form and a cohesive team strategy on the final climb, with teammate Aleksandr Vlasov playing a key role in distancing overnight leader Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quickstep) in the closing kilometres.

Roglič overpowered Giulio Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) within sight of the line to take stage victory, with Vlasov finishing third at 11 seconds. Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech) followed in fourth ahead of Matteo Jorgenson (Visma-Lease a Bike).

Roglič revealed after the stage that his shoulder was too stiff to even reach in his jersey pocket after he was caught up in the massive crash on stage 5.

"I was quite limited with the left shoulder. I couldn't reach in the pocket or anything. I was just holding it all day. But the legs are working. About the legs, I cannot complain," Roglič said.

In the final two stages, both of which are even tougher summit finishes, Roglič said he would go "back to basics" with a more cautious approach. "Finishing on the wheels, I think will be the best,” he said. “The whole race is actually just a bonus."

Evenepoel watched his 33-second lead evaporate in the face of the Bora-Hansgrohe attack. Despite a tremendous fight to the line, the Belgian lost 43 seconds and, with Roglič's time bonus, dropped to second at 19 seconds in the general classification.

Jorgenson emerged as his team's sole leader after Sepp Kuss lost touch on the final climb. The Paris-Nice winner finished fifth on the stage to move into third overall at 58 seconds, while Gee moved into fourth at 1:01 and Vlasov fifth at 1:32.

The race ignited in the final 5km, when Vlasov tacked a move from Laurens De Plus (Ineos), and then eventually waited for Roglič as he came across with a select chasing group of five.

Once Roglič bridged up, Vlasov lifted the pace, pulling Roglič the group clear and discouraging any attacks from Ciccone before Roglič launched a late surge to the line.

"The whole team, the guys showed their commitment from the very start on day one and chasing on the second stage," Roglič said of his team's work. "It didn't work out. Yesterday, all of us got hit quite hard. Today again, they showed a great performance."

A battered and bruised peloton departed Hauterives in warm conditions for the 174.1km stage to Le Collet d'Allevard, the first of three major summit stage finishes that will close out the Critérium du Dauphiné.

The peloton was down by seven riders following the mass crash on stage 5, with Steven Kruijswijk and Dylan van Baarle (Visma-Lease a Bike), Remy Rochas (Groupama-FDJ), Adne Holter (Uno-X), Laurens Huys (Arkéa-B&B Hotels), Axel Mariault (Cofidis) and Milan Menten (Lotto Dstny) all abandoning on the day.

More riders abandoned overnight including Kobe Goosens (Intermarché-Wanty), Jasha Sütterlin, Rainer Kepplinger and Kamil Gradek (Bahrain Victorious), Harry Sweeny and Lukas Nerurkar (EF Education-EasyPost) and Odd Christian Eiking (Uno-X).

Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates) signed on but felt uncomfortable riding after crashing twice on stage 5, leaving just 132 riders on the start line.

With a long run-out to the first major climbs, the breakaway wasted no time getting an advantage, and six riders escaped without too much resistance.

The group included stage 2 winner Magnus Cort (Uno-X), Romain Gregoire (Groupama-FDJ), Thibault Guernalec (Arkéa-B&B Hotels), Arjen Livyns (Intermarché-Wanty), Alessandro Fancellu (Q36.5) and Mason Hollyman (Israel-Premier Tech), who went clear in the first two kilometres.

Gregoire was the best-placed in the overall standings in 23rd at 2:53 from leader Evenepoel and he moved into the virtual yellow jersey as the breakaway's lead went over three minutes after 23km.

Guernalec led the breakaway across the first KOM, the category 4 Cote de la Cote St André but the lumpy opening was costing some of the injured riders who took to the start. Alex Kirsch (Lidl-Trek) and Andreas Kron (Lotto Dstny) climbed off before the first sprint in Les Echelles after 105.3km of racing, where Cort claimed the 10 points to pad his lead in the green jersey competition.

The breakaway had a lead of more than five minutes as they started up the Col du Granier but the gap began to drop on the descent, where Hollyman and Guernalec crashed on a tightening right-hand bend. Mercifully, they both were quickly back on their bikes.

With 30km to go, the race director led the breakaway off course and they had to stop to regroup. It didn't help Hollyman, who never could catch up and drifted back to what was left of the peloton.

On the final climb, Ineos Grenadiers led the way, bringing the gap down to 1:30. Sensing the chase picking up, Gregoire attacked and only Cort could follow, but the increase in pace was no match against Ineos' pace.

Tao Geoghegan Hart (Lidl-Trek) was the first of the GC men to lose contact, he was followed by Sepp Kuss (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Davide Formolo (Movistar) out the back.

As Cort came back with 5km to go, De Plus attacked to let Carlos Rodríguez sit on and follow the subsequent moves. The acceleration brought Gregoire's lead down to just 25 seconds and fell rapidly as the Frenchman looked glued to the road.

Vlasov followed De Plus across to Gregoire, who immediately lost contact. They had 17 seconds when Guilio Ciccone attacked from behind. While Roglič, Jorgenson, Rodríguez and Gee could follow, Evenepoel could not, though the Belgian had Mikel Landa at his side to limit their losses.

Roglič made it across with the other four to Vlasov inside 2km to go, making it seven at the front. Soon it was three as only Ciccone could follow Vlasov's pace, while Roglič bided his time for his final acceleration. Evenepoel had lost 32 seconds by the time the trio went under the flamme rouge but accelerated as the road levelled off in a bid to limit the damage.

Out in front, Roglič attacked into the finish to claim the stage win ahead of Ciccone, with Vlasov third. Evenepoel slipped out of the race lead, coming to the line 43 seconds down.

Richard Plugge slams safety at Criterium du Dauphine after Dylan Van Baarle, Steven Kruijswijk crash

Ben Southby

Published 07/06/2024 at 09:17 GMT

Richard Plugge has questioned the safety measures at Criterium du Dauphine after two Visma-Lease a Bike riders were ruled out of the Tour de France after suffering substantial injuries. Dylan Van Baarle and Steven Kruijswijk were involved in a crash on Stage 5, which saw a large group of riders fall. He asked: “Would this happen in F1? Or would the safety organisation take measures upfront?”

Yellowstone National Park Bike Tour: Highlights

Lizard Head Cycling Guides is an Authorized Permittee of Yellowstone National Park

A Yellowstone National Park bike tour is a otherworldly experience especially if you happen to enjoy wildlife, geysers and fabulous landscapes! This tour spends three days in the National Park and three days in the lesser known, but equally compelling Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. We consider Day 6’s Bear Tooth Pass to be one of the top three climbs on any of our bike touring itineraries!

Join the local experts at Lizard Head Cycling Guides as we explore the Yellowstone Country together and are challenged by some of North America’s most dazzling cycling terrain.

This is a great tour for Intermediate+ level riders and offers BIG challenge for the every-freaking-inch (E.F.I.) type of rider. As an example, in the 7-years we have run this YNP itinerary, only 25 riders have E.F.I.’ed the tour. The final day’s Beartooth Pass often requires a short bump to the base of the final day’s massive climb.

Another great “Lizard Tour”- a most exhilarating ride with vista views beyond human comprehension, an intimate experience of Mother Earths aliveness, with friends looking out for each other. Lesley, MJ and Will worked well together and always available to meet everyone’s needs. – Duane
(Our group) completed the Yellowstone ride last week, it was a typical Lizard Head tour, pretty tough but doable, with some outstanding majestic scenery. (I wish) to comment on the outstanding team that lead our tour, DeAnn and Emily were such great guides, both pitched in to make sure that everything went smoothly, they are very professional and I did not hear one complaint from the group about the support. And it also helps to ride behind one of them after 5,000 plus feet of climbing. – Bill

Ability Level: Can I Ride This Tour?

bike tour yellow

How Fit do I Have to Be? If one month prior to the tour, you can ride 2 to 3 times a week equaling a total of 75 or more miles a week, you'll do just fine. We like to jokingly say that "one is ready for a Lizard Head Cycling Tour when they are finished with tour" and this is true! The only way to simulate a week long bike tour is to go on a week long tour.

Our average rider age is 55 years. These are bike tours, not races so we take our time to stop, take pictures and see the sights. We have all day to reach our destination and most riders take "bumps" at some points. We offer reduced mileage options for each day. Of course if someone wants to ride E.F.I. (Every Freaking Inch), we love to show them all the extra climbs, loops and hidden canyons that can be included!

Do the Bump! Daily mileage options allow cyclists of varying abilities to enjoy this tour. One of our favorite options is to give cyclists a "bump" via the support vehicle, or a 10 to 20 mile lift down the road representing an hour of pedal time. After the bump the rider is "off the front" and riding at his or her own pace without feeling they are being left behind the group. They'll then have time to linger and take in the spectacular scenery. All cyclists come together in time for lunch. Afterwards, cyclists can take another bump and/or continue riding.

Seamless Mileage Options: Lizard Head Cycling Guides designs multiple mileage options for each tour – something we're well known for in our business. This technique is similar to heliskiing in that one does not ski everything, they ski the best. 🙂

Slow or Fast? Many cyclists who sign up for our tours have worried themselves silly about not being able to keep up, but then they're surprised to find that all the worrying was about nothing. They do just fine! Slow and Fast only exist relative to other cyclists. Speed does not matter as long as one is moving on the bike. As long as one is moving, they are truly going fast enough.

If you have questions about your ability to ride this tour, please contact our office via email or call us at 970.728.5891 - we'll more than happy to guide you!

Overall Route Map

Below is an example of the daily routes for this tour and are subject to change based on season, available accommodations, road closures, and other factors. The actual routes will be made available to registered participants before their tour, so please view these routes as a general outline as to what to expect.

How is the Traffic in Yellowstone?

In Yellowstone there are roads that are more conducive for cyclists (shoulders and good pavement) and we seek these out. Overall, three of the our Yellowstone’s tour’s seven days are within the national park and on two of these days we offer the option of world class hikes that we ride our bikes to! On the four days of riding outside the park, you will find traffic to be very light.

Within the park, when we run our tours in late August, vehicular traffic is less than high season (July and early August) due to the fact that most kids and their families have returned to school. Overall, the nature of the traffic within Yellowstone park is generally “tourist” in nature; meaning they are driving at slower speeds and stopping at pull-offs. In general, there is not cell phone reception within the park and this means drivers are not distracted by the impulse to text or make calls. Also since traffic is less in the morning hours, we take advantage of this window to start our rides.

Overall, as a result of the design of our tour, our cyclists have found the riding experience within Yellowstone National Park to be safe and fulfilling. Please feel free to ask additional questions.

Day 0: Arrival in Bozeman

Riders either drive or fly to Bozeman, Montana. If flying, the airport is Yellowstone International Airport (BZN).

Day 1: Madison Junction to Old Faithful 16 miles with up to 860 feet of climbing

After a morning shuttle from Bozeman, Montana to the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park, we embark on our journey into the park. But keep a look out for the commonly sighted bison and elk, often right in the middle of the road! Also keep a keen eye for the more elusive grizzly bear, or perhaps even some wolves! This is wild and rugged terrain where wildlife abounds amid the beauty of Mother Nature and her geothermal wonders. We also urge you to stop at the many pullouts to take in the wonders along the way as we explore the Lower Geyser Basin .

We end the day at Old Faithful and marvel in its magnificence and also take in many other geothermal features that dot the Upper Geyser Basin .

All geared up and ready to ride!

Elevation Profile: 16 miles +860 feet / -330 feet

Day 2: Old Faithful to Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone Standard: 49 miles with up to 2,590 feet of climbing E.F.I. Option: 56 miles with up to 3,600 feet of climbing

Starting from Old Faithful, today’s route will take us over the Continental Divide and then along the western shores of Yellowstone Lake , one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America. Yellowstone Lake is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera which is the largest ancient super-volcano on the North American continent.

Our destination today is the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone – an amazing 900 foot deep canyon carved into the ancient rock by the Yellowstone River that offers picturesque views of waterfalls and deeply eroded golden red rock formations. While Yellowstone National Park is best known for it’s geysers and thermal water features, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is a hidden gem that must be visited to be appreciated. It’s simply gorgeous!

Day 3: Yellowstone National Park to Cody Standard: 65 miles with up to 2,675 feet of climbing E.F.I. Option: 94 miles with up to 3,045 feet of climbing

Today offers an epic day on the bike! After a hearty breakfast for the long day ahead, riders depart from Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, pedal along the eastern shores of Yellowstone Lake, and then exit Yellowstone National Park via the East Entrance. After some moderate climbing for the first third of the route, riders will enjoy losing 4,500 feet along a 60 mile descent as we make our way along the North Fork of the Shoshone River , through the scenic Wapiti Valley, along The Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway, around Buffalo Bill Reservoir to eventually make our way into the rustic western cowboy town of Cody, Wyoming . Wow! What a day!

Day 4: Layover Day in Cody Optional 52 mile ride and/or hiking

Today is a layover day in Cody, Wyoming.  This is a day to take it easy and explore this western town founded by Buffalo Bill Cody. Places to explore include The Buffalo Bill museum of the American West which contains an impressive collection of artifacts and displays of the American West. Old Trail Town is one of our favorite. For guests wanting to spin there legs, there is self guided out and back ride along the South Fork.

Is this your first Rodeo? At the end of the day, for those who are interested, your tour guides will take clients to a real western rodeo. Bring your best western wear and cowboy up!

Day 5: Chief Joseph Scenic Byway Standard: 58 miles with 6,840 feet of climbing E.F.I. Option: 76 miles with up to 8,295 feet of climbing

Today offer possibly the most scenic riding of the entire week as we cruise along the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway and dip into Montana at the end of the ride. The standard plan is to start with a quick shuttle (to avoid less scenic riding) and drop cyclists at the base of the climb of Chief Joseph Pass. NOTE: Chief Joseph pass was newly paved in the summer of 2017! The tarmac is smooth and fast. 🙂

For the E.F.I. rider today is certainly the “queen stage” of the week with over 8,000′ of climbing and a HC (beyond category) 10 mile climb to Chief Joseph pass.

Of course there will be plenty of opportunities to “bump” ahead for those not wanting to put in all the miles or climbs allowing those riders to literally cherry pick the best of the best along today’s route.

We will conclude the ride at Cooke City, Montana and check into the Soda Butte Lodge for the final night of our week-long adventure. It’s hard to believe that the week is almost over as we share one last dinner together in this truly wondrous place.

Day 6: Beartooth Pass to Red Lodge, MT Standard: 50 miles with 3,990 feet of climbing E.F.I. Option: 64-miles with up to 5,400 feet of climbing

It would not be a classic Lizard Head tour without a classic ending… and today is the day! With an early morning start, we take on the mighty Beartooth Highway and head northeast up to Beartooth Pass maxing out at nearly 11,000′ elevation. The climb is long and gradual and the views are amazing! As we past tree line on our ascent, we ride past dozens of fresh water lakes sprinkled throughout the barren landscape where there is often snow pack at these altitudes year round. We consider Beartooth Pass a top three climb of all the climbs in all the itineraries we offer! When one reaches the top of Beartooth Pass they just don’t go down, they get to go across an alpine landscapes for miles before descending. Up high above the trees the views and wildflowers are tremendous.

At the top of Beartooth Pass we stop for lunch with 100+ mile views in all directions – it is truly spectacular! Post lunch will be a mind boggling 27 mile twisty descent to the town of Red Lodge, Montana… this is one ride you are certainly not going to forget. Upon arrival in Red Lodge, we end at Red Lodge Ales to toss back a few celebratory brews and then pack up to shuttle back to Bozeman to end the tour.

What an incredible week!

Yellowstone National Park Bike Tour: Logistics & FAQs

Bike shipping.

Lizard Head Cycling recommends shipping with BikeFlights.com . Bikes can be shipped either to our partner bike shop in each meeting town for professional assembly or directly to the meeting hotel for self-assembly. Bike boxes can generally be left at the meeting hotel during the tour. Bikes shipped across the continental US should be shipped 8 days prior to your tour.

Meals on the Tour Most meals (aside from two) from lunch on the tour’s first day (Sunday) through breakfast on departure day are included. The exceptions are that guests are own their own for meals on the layover day. In total 5 dinners, 6 breakfasts and 6 lunches are included.

Breakfasts and dinners are in restaurants where clients either order off the menu or choose from a buffet. Fresh lunches that include salads, local fruit, vegetables and meats are served in roadside parks by the Lizard Head Cycling Guides. Any dietary preferences or allergies should be noted on the registration form. Each of Lizard Head Cycling’s lunches contains gluten free options.

If on any given night a guest is tired or not feeling particularly social, they can choose to eat early and retire. Lizard Head Cycling enjoys hosting its guests for meals each evening, but understands some of us may just need to lie down after a day in the saddle. A meal should not feel like marathon after a big day on the bike.

Ride Difficulty Due to the mountainous terrain, this tour is designed for upper intermediate to advanced cyclists. Each day there are additional mileage options for advanced riders.

Tour Support A 15-passenger van and trailer that carries luggage, food and equipment supports Lizard Head Cycling’s tours. Cyclists keep a day bag that is accessible within the support vehicle.

The vehicle will sag and then pass riders to set up aid stations every 20 to 25 miles. This allows cyclists to linger at the back and then take a ten-mile, fifteen-mile or whatever mile “bump” forward to catch-up or get ahead of the group. Energy food, drink mixes, and fresh fruit are available throughout each stage.

The Daily Schedule Cyclists ride their own pace. Lizard Head Cycling does its best to support riders in their varying desires and efforts. Cyclists can either use our tours to simply support their tour experience or to engage in a guided experience along the route.

Cue sheets with directions, profiles and locations of aid stations are given out for each stage.

General Tour & Cancellation Policies

Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with all of our tour and cancellation policies, which can be found by clicking here .

Travel Insurance

If you have not already, now would be a great time to consider adding travel insurance to your tour. You are welcome to use any travel insurance company you would like. We recommend Generali/Trip Mate.

Generally, if contracting COVID causes clients to cancel or interrupt their tour, trip insurance companies would treat it as any other illness as long as it is contracted after the insurance was purchased. Please check your individual plan documentation for details. Please note that quarantine is usually only covered if clients are actually sick with COVID. If a state requires quarantine upon arrival because of standardized state law, coverage is generally not covered. Again, check your individual plan documentation for details.
