Matthieu Ladagnous was awarded the polka dot jersey in Saint-Laurent-du-Pont at the end of stage 1 in the Critérium du Dauphiné as a consolation prize for the missed opportunity of a stage victory. The Française des Jeux rider stayed away for 170 kilometres with Cyril Gautier (Bbox Bouygues Telecom), Blel Kadri (Ag2r-La Mondiale), Dominique Rollin (Cervélo TestTeam) and Sébastien Minard (Cofidis).
