great win for Voeckler! De Gendt would deserve it much more though...

Chapeau De Gendt. He pulled the breakaway like crazy!

De Gendt did amazingly well today. His reward is the yellow jersey, not a bad little prize actually...

Great win for Voeckler, but De Gendt was just awesome. Hoped he was gonna win, but after all the effort he did in the last kms, it was very difficult. But he gets back the yellow jersey, in a very deserved way. Congrats for him and also the rest of the break, fighting till the end.

De Gent didn't go at all for the victory he just wanted time xD
Great for Voeckler he deserved a victory too !
And first big victory for Europcar. I don't know if you guys noticed but Team Europcar did everything they could to destabilize the chase with Jérome Quemener and Rolland placing themselves in the first positions of the peleton and not taking relays...
Great Team work

Do I smell fanboy? ;-)
OT: Brilliant break today. It does seem likely that De Gendt loses the jersey tomorrow though. |

Good victory for Voeckler. Always nice when one of your favorite riders win.
Also congrats to De Gendt. How strong was he today? Impressive.

After his efforts today, I'd say more than likely. But he made a dull stage interesting, and I always like it when Tommy Voeckler wins |

He's always been like that. Ugly.
About today's stage, what a race De Gendt is doing! Showing that he is a great breakaway rider. In the other hand, Voeckler was just Voeckler today. |

There is no such thing as a new Voigt, he's unique - but still very impressive job by de gendt, Voigt helped him to take the stage win, today he returned the favor to Voeckler |

Looking forward to tomorrow's stage. If you want to win Paris - Nice then you'll have to attack tomorrow. |
