Cycling-Froome sends Tour warning with Dauphine win (Reuters)
* Trademark late attack boosts Briton * Van Garderen second (Adds quotes) By Julien Pretot MODANE VALFREJUS, France, June 14 (Reuters) – Although not yet at his peak, Chris Froome sent a deafening warning to his Tour de France rivals by winning the Criterium du Dauphine with a trademark late attack to claim the final stage on Sunday. The 2013 Tour champion, who will feature among the top favourites for the July 4-26 race, made his move 2.5 kilometres from the finish in the final climb to Valfrejus and never looked back. Team Sky rider Froome, who also prevailed in Saturday’s uphill finish in St Gervais, beat another Briton, Simon Yates (Orica GreenEDGE), to take the day’s laurels with an 18-second advantage.
