The 2008 Dauphine Libere route has been announced.

This year we are not as fortunate as we were in 2007 when the riders came past our door (see photos in our album), still, we get a couple of good chances to see the teams on the final 2 days of the 8-day stage race.

Day 7 out of 8 (14th June) we can see riders taking on the grueling loop from the Maurienne valley to La Toussuire and the Col de La Croix de Fer. The following day is the final stage in nearby Grenoble:

As usual, this race is an exciting prelude to the Tour when riders and teams warm up for the 'main event' the following month.
