It has been a slow start to the season for Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis) but as we go into the Tour de France he seems to have found the best condition. Today he won the points jersey in the Criterium du Dauphiné after a great race thar allowed him to win two stages and shine in the mountains.

"All went well this week. I won two stages and the green jersey. That will give me confidence for the French championship and the Tour de France, which is my main goal. In the second half of this week, I've also worked on my pedaling style in the mountains and it'll be very useful at the Tour. It's really the best way to gear up," he said.
