L’ALPE D’HUEZ, France (AP) Britain’s Peter Kennaugh soloed to victory at the top of the Alpe d’Huez to claim his second stage win at the Criterium du Dauphine on Saturday.
Kennaugh, who posted his maiden stage win in the warmup race for the Tour de France in 2015, escaped from the main breakaway group with Ben Swift and then dropped his compatriot with three kilometers (2 miles) left.
Richie Porte retained the race leader’s jersey and increased his lead over Chris Froome.
Kennaugh launched the breakaway in the first climb of the day, the Cote de Berland.
