Brent Bookwalter and Alexey Vermeulen managed top 100 finishes on Tuesday but neither one was near the leader as Bookwalter finished 5:30 back in 79th and Vermeulen was 93rd. This was the first hilly stage of the Criterium du Dauphine and it provided some separation over the 104.1 miles. Bookwalter remains the top American overall but dropped from 25th to 74th and is now 6:26 back overall. Vermeulen does remain in the top 100 overall as well in 92nd.

The Criterium du Dauphine continues Wednesday with a 113.1 mile flat stage while the overall race continues until Sunday.
