The Race: Three riders - Alexis Gougeard, Julien Antomarchi and Brayan Ramirez, escaped on the day's first climb. After seventy kilometers, the trio had nine minutes in hand.

That huge gap came down, but the trio was never caught by a basically unmotivated peloton. Alexis Gougeard, not confident of his sprinting abilities, attacked several times as they closed in on the finish, all to no avail.

With two kilometers remaining, Gougeard gave up his attempts to break free. In the end, he did win the sprint. Fourteen seconds later the peloton rolled across the line with GC leader Bryan Coquard.

Coquard finished fifth today to maintain his overall lead in the race.
