Lance Armstrong may have not obtained the much desired pre Tour de France win, however his Discovery Channel team showed dominance in the final stage of the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré. It was a Disco 1-2-3 finale: George Hincapie (1st) and Yaroslav Popovych (2nd) stayed away after attacking with a group at 15K into stage 7, and Armstrong won the small bunch sprint for third. It was a stamp of Disco Dominance. Meanwhile, without the backing of a super-squad, Iñigo Landaluze rode like a man possessed to hang on for final GC honors. Basque team, Euskaltel-Euskadi, has won the Dauphiné Libéré for the second consecutive year. This year it was a determined Landaluze who gave the boys in orange a much needed win.

Soon after the day started a large group broke clear, just before the Côte de Saint-Sigismond. The group of 26 riders topped the Saint-Sigismond together with a 30" gap. On the descent, two Disco missiles were fired, as the remainder of the group was swept up. Popovych and Hincapie formed a Disco duo that would keep its groove on to the end. It was a rare sight, and quite a mishap on the other teams' behalf, to see the two strong Disco men powering along.

The duo had their work cut out for them, needing to stay clear while covering the Côte de Domancy (Cat 3) seven times! It was a 2-man time trial while behind a GC battle was raging. Phonak was giving all they had to weaken the GC leader, Landaluze. Landaluze was weakening by the fifth ascent of the Domancy, and being gapped off of a ever thinning peloton. Phonak were out for blood and were driving a hard pace on the group.

Over the 5th and 6th climb of Domancy Landaluze was gapped and then rejoined to protect his lead. The group had been whittled down to such names as Armstrong, Vino, Moncoutié, Leipheimer, Menchov, and Botero. Before the final ascent Botero was giving all he had to put distance in Landaluze, but the Colombian had run out of gas. Landaluze was gapped, but not by enough. Landaluze managed not to crack on the final charge up Domancy, and limited losses coming home behind Botero's group. The Basque won the final GC by just 11 seconds ahead of the Colombian.

Iñigo Landaluze will be a celebrated man back at team Euskaltel-Euskadi headquarters. It was a well earned overall victory in the Dauphiné Libéré for the orange squad. Armstrong had to have left the race a little disappointed by not picking up a win before the Tour de France. To weaken the morale even more, Jan Ullrich charged to TT victory today in stage 2 in the Tour de Suisse. The heat is on for a battle royale when the American and German finally meet again in the 92nd Tour de France. Stay tuned to BiciRace.com.
