Chris Froome keeps Criterium du Dauphine lead

Britain's Chris Froome made it two wins out of two at the Criterium du Dauphine to build a 12-second lead after the second of the eight stages.

The defending champion, who also won Sunday's opening time trial, won the 156km run from Tarare to Col du Beal in four hours, 24 minutes, 41 seconds.
Alberto Contador was second and is also second in the overall standings.
The race is seen as a warm-up for next month's Tour de France, where Froome is also the defending champion.
