While one of the pre-race favourites Primož Roglič (Bora-Hansgrohe) moved into the lead of the Critérium du Dauphiné with victory on stage 6, finishing just 13 seconds behind him in fourth was the surprise GC package - Derek Gee (Israel-Premier Tech).
The Canadian, who won stage 3 with a double late surge up to Les Estables, broke through as a top breakaway rider at last year’s Giro d'Italia but the 2024 Dauphiné has seen him reach his career peak at 26.
