Predictably, Belgian climber Jurgen Van Den Broeck (Omega Pharma-Lotto) lost some ground on the best time triallists in the Critérium du Dauphiné's race against the clock in Grenoble on Wednesday. Still, he was satisfied with his performance and now looks forward to putting his fitness to the test in the high mountain passes in view of the Tour de France.
