Got caught up with a few other things tonight, so I'll update Dauphine results tomorrow. Hopefully there's not too many injury withdrawals from the crashes in Stage 5.

Favourites for Tour de Suisse:

J Almeida
R Carapaz
L Martinez
M Skjelmose
C Uijtdebroeks

Probably a couple of others that are just as good a chance of winning that I could have added instead. There doesn't seem one definite favourite here which is not such a bad thing.

Just the six non-starters today, none of our riders. With such a tough stage though, I wouldn't be surprised if some don't finish today.

These riders will not appear at the start

I was a bit surprised Ayuso was listed as starting, not at all surprised he withdrew.

Interview below with Roglic before the start that he is only continuing riding to get race days before the Tour, and that he doesn't care about GC. Might not be a great sign for the 5 of us who selected him. Wouldn't be surprised if other riders feel much the same.

Stage 5 was meant to be one of just two stages for the "sprinters" of the field, with no points awarded there, this handicaps anyone who selected Pedersen or Bennett. Bonaparte and chels with 4 GC riders may be in the best spot to capitalise with just three tough stages to go.

Stage 6 of the Tour de Suisse has been significantly shortened from 151.1km to 42.5km due to snow on the Nufenenpass climb. This was meant to be a really tough climb of almost 2500m elevation, but the stage looks much easier now.

Not sure if this will change any selections? This race starts tomorrow.

Back to back stage wins for Roglic. I would like to see Bora give Vlasov a bit of licence to go for a stage win himself tomorrow, as he set the victory up again today on the final climb for his team leader, but really doubt it happens.

Add @Old Big 'Ead next to G Ciccone in all the stage results and final classification tables below and you will have the correct results for each stage/overall. Apologies again. The final points tally for the Criterium du Dauphine and the overall standings have been updated with the correct scoring.

Old Big 'Ead and Bonaparte swap spots after that event as we see the first scores dropping off the list.

I'll hold off on posting selections for Tour de Suisse, as I have not yet received selections from @Kiewa. I've given him until the start of Stage 2 tonight to enter, as Stage 1 being less than 5km in length will likely have minimal impact on the final GC. He won't be eligible for points from Stage 1, however there were minimal points awarded anyway.
