Ireland's Dan Martin finished with a flourish to take third in the Criterium du Dauphine, as Chris Froome lifted the crown for the third time in four years.
Martin was second in the final stage, seven seconds behind Doimension Data's Steve Cummings. That was enough to lift the Etixx-Quick-Step man into the top three, behind France's Romain Bardet of AG2R and Team Sky's Froome.
Froome looks in good shape to defend his Tour de France title next month after this victory.
The British Team Sky rider, who went on to win the Tour after both of his previous Dauphine wins in 2013 and 2015, ended the final stage with a 12 second lead over Frenchman Romain Bardet.
The 151km seventh stage from Le-Pont-de-Claix to Superdevoluy was won by another Briton, Cummings, who broke away with 40km to go.
"Coming into this week I hoped I'd be fighting for the podium," Froome told Eurosport television. "To be sitting here last day in yellow, that's a really amazing feeling.
"It is great timing now to have a win under the belt, it does help build the morale a bit and build the team around me," he added.
