Note: I lost all the screens, sorry for it. I hope it will worth it without them too, because it was a pretty amazing stage.
Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 7
The queen-stage, over the Joux - Plane finishing in Morzine after a technical downhill.
As the stage kicked off, a strong break established themselves at the front. At the top of the first climb they had a lead of 6'00. The biggest names in the break were Rodriguez and Vandenbroeck! (!)
The race was quite calm throughout the whole day, it was all silent. The final climb was closing and the break still had more than 2 and a half minutes. At the foot of the Joux - Plane SpiderTech decided to make a hard pace, and dropped some rivals easily. After they stopped a bit, it was Nibali who attacked, and he got away and quickly caught Rodriguez, who was dropped by Vandenbroeck. After the attack the Spiders responded, and Sutton and Jakab took the front and dropped all the others, except for Brajkovic.
Vandenbroeck reached the top of the climb first, with a lead of 1'30 on Nibali, and 2'00 on Jakab, who dropped Sutton and Brajkovic. The pack followed at 2'45. On the descent Vandenbroeck lost ground fast, but he was still able to finish the job, and win the stage! Great solo by him! Nibali came 2nd, only 36' down, and race - leader Jakab arrived at 1'03, and kept the jersey. Sutton dropped Brajkovic, they finished 1'47 and 2'21 down on VdB respectively, and EBH led the pack at 2'45.
| 1 | Jurgen Van den Broeck | Lotto Belisol Team | 4h54'41 | | 2 | Vincenzo Nibali | Liquigas - Cannondale | + 36 | | 3 | Zoltán Jakab | SpiderTech - Cervélo | + 1'03 | | 4 | Gary Sutton | SpiderTech - Cervélo | + 1'47 | | 5 | Janez Brajkovic | Astana Pro Team | + 2'21 | | 6 | Edvald Boasson Hagen | Sky Procycling | + 2'45 | | 7 | Rémy Di Gregorio | Cofidis, le crédit en ligne | s.t. | | 8 | Samuel Sánchez | Euskaltel - Euskadi | s.t. | | 9 | Nairo Quintana | Movistar Team | s.t. | | 10 | Jean-Christophe Peraud | AG2R La Mondiale | s.t. |

@francopell - Thanks.
@Ian Butler - He was absolutely amazing.
@Miguel98 - In the bag...
@juszta - Yes, it turned out great for us. 
A hard stage, long, a HC climb, and at last the Verbier. It'll be tough, that's for sure.
The daily BotD wasn't a really strong one, the biggest name present were Pierrick Fedrigo and Flecha. They quickly built up a lead of / minutes, but it was no use for them, as Rabobank chased them really easily down, right at the 20km to go mark. Rabobank continued the high pace, they used all their domestiques to help Gesink. We reached the foot of the Verbier, where we saw some big attacks with some favourites, like Evans, Froome, Gesink etc, but the yellow jersey wasn't present as the elite group formed.
Puskaric was chasing on his own with Andy Schleck, as these two seriously mistimed their attacks. They had to fight back from about 30 seconds behind, and they simply weren't strong enough.
While the leader was way down, Cunego decided to go solo, and nobody could follow him, although there were some who tried to. He just shaked them down, and created a 45's gap easily.
Turning into the last kilometer, Cunego was still in the lead, Gesink and Froome followed at 50', the other favourites were at 1'20. Puskaric was way down, 2'10 behind.
And it's the blonde italian taking the win! What an impressive solo ride, going from far out! Gesink outsprints Froome for the 2nd 1'00 behind Cunego. Our very own Puskaric finished 8th, 2'32 down, and lost the leader's jersey.
| 1 | Damiano Cunego | Lampre - ISD | 5h38'53 | | 2 | Robert Gesink | Rabobank Cycling Team | + 1'00 | | 3 | Chris Froome | Sky Procycling | + 1'12 | | 4 | Tony Martin | Omega Pharma - Quick·Step Cycling Team | + 1'50 | | 5 | Cadel Evans | BMC Racing Team | s.t. | | 6 | Roman Kreuziger | Astana Pro Team | s.t. | | 7 | Wout Poels | Vacansoleil - DCM Pro Cycling Team | s.t. | | 8 | Kristjan Puskaric | SpiderTech - Cervélo | + 2'32 | | 9 | Andy Schleck | RadioShack - Nissan | + 2'39 | | 10 | Sylwester Szmyd | Liquigas - Cannondale | + 2'58 |

@Miguel. Ian Butler - 
@sutty - Pleasent to hear that you're glad! I hope you'll also like this stage!
Critérium du Dauphiné Stage 8
A short hilly stage, to end things here in the Dauphiné, the uphill finish will be hard, but he hope to keep that leader's jersey.
As usual, as we kicked off the stage, a BotD formed, no real big names, but at least it was a large one. However, they weren't too stable, as Liquigas chased them down easily, even before the 1st cat. climb.
On the climb came the thing, that everybody was waiting for. THE ATTACK for the race by Nibali. Nobody could follow him, Jakab decided to wait, because he didn't feel too good. However, when the gap rised above 1'30, he just had to go to retain the lead. And then, the battle began. Nibali vs. Jakab, the key is the number: 1'33. Can he?
Turning into the last kilometer, Nibali is still infront, there is no information on his lead, but he is quite far ahead. Can he take the GC on this inredible fight?
He wins the stage, that's for sure, he doesn't even celebrate, trying to win as much time as he can! Will it be enough? Here he comes, Jakab crosses the line, and he is just 58 seconds slower! He wins the 2012 edition of the Dauphiné! Jürgen Vandenbroeck gets 3rd, great stage by him, he'll also be a contender on the TDF. Other great news for SpiderTech, Sutton beated EBH, and came up to 3rd in the GC, so 1-3 for SpiderTech!
