BRITISH rider Chris Froome showed he is in dominant form ahead of the Tour de France, beating main rival Alberto Contador to win the second stage of the Criterium du Dauphine yesterday.
Froome accelerated with 800 meters remaining and managed to hold off two-time Tour champion Contador on the 158.5-kilometer leg from Tarare to Col du Beal. Wilco Kelderman was third, four seconds behind the leading duo.
It was Froome’s second successive victory in the eight-stage race, after winning the opening time trial. He has a 12-second advantage over Contador and is 21 seconds ahead of Kelderman.
