Today's stage favored the hilly riders and the favorites were Gilbert and Evans. The start was set to be pretty uneventful and there was a large chance that a breakaway win could be on because the sprinter's teams wouldn't be pulling them back. We were going to try and put Gadret in the break so he could get some early KOM points.
A 10 man breakaway got away today but they weren't allowed more than a minute and a half on the peleton.
They were brought back with more than 60 kilometres to go leaving it open for some riders to breakaway.
Gadret went alone hoping to take some KOM points and took the first one but the peleton were breathing down the back of his neck.
Gadret was caught before the second mountain points and four riders got away. These were Scarponi, Gilbert, Rodriguez and Nibali.
Gilbert left the other 3 riders for dead in the sprint and claim 20 second on them. The other three all finished close together.
The sprinters all finished within the time limit today.

Not the best stage for AG2R but atleast Gadret got some KOM points
Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring.
@chris01 yeah the team seems weak on the hills and they seem to keep getting dropped but the aim really is for Peraud to do well in the GC and he is already doing well albeit it being down to other people's mistakes.
Today's stage would again probably go for the sprinters although a small hill near the finish could cause a few problems and would invite the riders to attack. We were again going to try and get a man in the breakaway and have Ravard ready for the final sprint.
A 12 man break got away today including our rider Riblon.
The break was nearly caught with 15kms to go in an uneventful stage but Riblon had another go at getting away and 4 other riders followed.
They were easily caught with over 10kms to go and the sprint trains lined up ready for the sprint.
Both Lampre and Lotto-Belisol's trains fell away and Sky's train came through the middle and Cavendish set off for another easy victory.
It looked like Cavendish had gone too soon as he was overtaken on the right by surprise man Dumoulin! What a sprint!

Today's stage was going to be a day for the sprinters from the very start but we would get a man in the breakaway just in case an opportunity arose. Ravard wanted to show he could sprint after a very disappointing start to the tour. He is hoping after seeing a surprise win in the sprint by Dumoulin in the sprint in the team yesterday.
Only 5 men tried to defy the peleton today including our rider Kadri.
They rode brilliantly but were engulfed by the peleton with over 10kms to go. Another mass sprint was on the cards today.
Only a few sprint trains were made today with most riders opting to try and get on the favorites wheels.
Another lively sprint, this time taken by Greipel. This puts him in the green jersey for tomorrow.

Today's stage was going to be a challenge for some riders with the inclusion of cobblestones. The favorite was without a doubt Boonen but we were hoping to get either Hinault or Mondory in the break and for them to hold out and win the sprint at the finish.
5 men got away in an attack started by Mondory with a group of 4 a little way to go.
The other group caught Mondory's with 120kms to go.
Only Mondory seemed to working seriously in the group so he decided to go it alone with 50kms to go.
With 6kms left Mondory was unlucky to get caught after a marvelous solo ride. Despite this the pace of the chasing peleton had caused problems for some of the favorites and some had dropped off the back, losing time.
We made the only serious sprint train and we looked a good shout for victory today.
The sprint train fell apart as the faster riders came flying past. On the right Boonen did what he does best on his favored cobbled surface.
No-one was going to catch Boonen but Ravard will be happy with his top 10 finish today.
