With 47km to go he attacked on the Col du Corbier and soloed in with almost 2 minutes over the chasing pack lead by Gianni Meersman (Bel) Omega Pharma-Quick Step in second with Tom Jelte Slagter (Ned) Blanco Pro Cycling Team in third. Veilleux is also leading the Points and Mountain Classifications.
Veilleux is the second Canadian to wear the leader’s jersey at the Critérium du Dauphiné – the legendary Steve Bauer won the Prologue at the 1989 Dauphiné and a stage in 1988 – and joins a growing number of Canadians who are flexing their muscle on the men’s Pro circuit. Last year Veilleux distinguished himself winning the Tre Valli Varesine in Italy.
