The 2010 Critérium du Dauphiné route on Google Maps/Google Earth and the route and time schedule
Mid-April I already announced you the 2010 Critérium du Dauphiné route (at that time I also informed you of the name change, the French race losing the word Libéré in its name, we thus no longer talk about the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré), today I'm pleased to allow you to discover - as usual now for the different cycling races - the 2010 Critérium du Dauphiné routes on Google Maps/Google Earth.

Le Dauphiné will take place from Sunday 6 until Sunday 13 June from Evian-les-Bains to Sallanches. The queen stage is the one on Saturday 12 June from Crolles to Alpe d'Huez.
