Stage 7 of the Critérium du Dauphiné could be re-routed, Le Dauphiné newspaper reports the Col de la Colombière won't be ready ledauphine.com/environnement/… (🇫🇷). There's been a big landslide, road closed and works may not be finished
Critérium du Dauphiné organisers need to find alternative route for stage 7, as Col de la Colombière is closed due to landslide

In what was ambitiously projected to be one of the hardest Critérium du Dauphiné editions in a while, not everything is going according to the organiser's plan. Nature once again showed it's unpredictable face, as a recent landslide won't allow the race to pass the famous Col de la Colombière.
The original stage 7 probably deserved the 'queen stage' tag. On a course of a bit over 145 kilometers, the race would've led riders over four 1st category climbs before HC category finish in Samoëns 1600 (10km á 9.3%). Col de la Colombière (11.6km á 5.8%) had its place in middle of this stage, but as it seems right now, the penultimate episode of 2024 Critérium du Dauphiné now needs to be re-routed and we can only sit patiently and wait for what the organisers come up with as replacement.

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib. Somehow I still train and do some races every year, mainly time trials these days.awp22-11-2024
