Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the final stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné and another day in the mountains.
Around 10 minutes until the riders roll out in La Léchère-les-Bains to start today's stage.
A lot more climbing ahead of the riders today, with six categorised climbs on the route, including the HC-rated Col de Joux Plane.
There's climbing from the very start with the fourth-cat Côte d'Esserts-Blay starting 100 metres into the stage. Will the break establish itself there or will we see another fast, long fight to get away?
The peloton have set off to begin the 147km stage. They're in the neutralised zone now.
A reminder of what happened yesterday on La Plagne. Richie Porte took over the yellow jersey after taking second on the stage, with Alexey Lutsenko and Geraint Thomas now in second and third. Mark Padun won the stage after attacking on the climb.
Porte will look to defend his yellow jersey today while new KOM leader Lawson Craddock might have a battle on his hand to win the blue and white polka dot jersey.
A look at the start.
