Dave Zabriskie topped an all English speaking podium of the 58th Dauphiné Libéré prologue. The American rider for CSC (27) smashed the time of his teammate, Stuart O'Grady, over the dead-flat 4.1K parcours on the lakeside of Annecy, southeastern France. Zabriskie's time, 4'35"80, was almost matched by another American, George Hincapie (Discovery Channel), who finished second, putting O'Grady in third.

Southwestern France greeted the ProTour peloton for their march to the Tour de France. The Dauphiné Libéré is one of those important run-ups to the big July event and an excellent chance to see who is on form.

The parcours could not be any simpler: 4.1K, straight out and back, a 180° bend and no elevation changes. The riders, under sunny conditions, faced a slight breeze off of Lac d'Annecy under, perfect for testing the engines.

Zabriskie had his best result since last year's opener of the Tour de France. Similar to La Grand Boucle, the 27 year-old bettered his competitors and took yellow leader's jersey in the process. The CSC man, in addition to his win, showed that he is on target to help teammate and recent winner of the Giro d'Italia, Ivan Basso, contend for overall honors in the Tour.

Two other riders that BiciRace.com was keeping a close-eye on were Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne-Illes Balears) and Alexander Vinokourov (Astaná-Würth). The Green Bullet, Valverde, was impressive: coming off of a spring campaign that included wins in la Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Spaniard rode superbly, slotting-in seventh for the day, six seconds behind Zabriskie. There will be clearer indicators of Valverde's form for the le Tour after Wednesday's 43K time trial test in Bourg-de-Péage.

Vino is continuing with his warm-up to La Grand Boucle: with a time of 4'45"46, it will be interesting to see how he goes over the remainder of the race. It could be a case of stress, dealing with the recent team troubles, which has blocked Vino from achieving better today.

Two more Americans are worth noting: Floyd Landis (Phonak) and Levi Leipheimer (Gerolsteiner). LL had technical problems, causing some time loss, while No-Fuss Floyd showed strength, finishing ninth with 4'43". Landis is building after a spring that included two tour wins: California and Paris-Nice. The Phonak man will head into the 93rd Tour de France as soul leader after Santiago Botero announced that he will finish his season early.

Join BiciRace.com tomorrow, when the riders tackle the first road stage, leaving Annecy to Bourgoin-Jallieu (207K). Zabriskie will shine in the leaders yellow jersey but don't expect CSC to kill themselves at defending the lead, instead they are likely to save their energies for le Tour, less than a month away.
