The Race: Before the stage start, 48 riders were tested for corticosteroids. All were negative. The Movement for Credible Cycling (MPCC) has already conducted tests at Paris-Nice, Circuit de la Sarthe and Pays de Loire.

Winner of the first stage, Bryan Coquard could not come around Jonas Ahlstrand, who went first in the sprint. But Coquard's second place gave him another eight seconds of bonus time, allowing him to solidify his overall lead.

After the race Coquard complained about Ahstrand's sprinting tactics, saying the Cofidis rider did not hold his line, ..."but hey, that's cycling. The team did a good job and we keep the jersey."
