Half race done, Europcar and We are making an hell of work at the front bringing back all who try to break...
Both teams worked well together but with 50kms to go,  D. Le Boulch attacks...
... few kms later more riders attack... we wanted Dimitri solo at the front so we raised the pace in peloton to bring those riders back, wich we eventually did...
30kms to go, Europcar didn´t liked the idea and chases Dimitri...
... and before the 20kms banner, Dimitri is back in the pack....
...peloton reach last hill... T. Vimpere brings F. Bacquet to the front...
Last 500meters, Fabian feels the warm breath from peloton on his neck.... B. Drujon comes on the left...
.. it couldn´t be closer finish as this one was....

G. Faucon with the break...one rider will win this classic out of the break...
...but surelly not BigMat´s rider as he crashes and got caught by peloton...
2,2kms to go... the weakest rider from the break  K. Stimulak is in front with 20"gap over  L. König....
As one bad thing never comes alone, peloton breaks up with 26 riders getting away... no rider from BigMat here...
Against all odds, K. Stimulak has his biggest career win and i´m sure the only one.... D. Le Boulch was our best rider in 30th...

Yes, he did good...
25kms to go.... D. Le Boulch lets his breakaway mates go... peloton is 1´26" behind...
Europcar, Cofidis and NSP are in charge of the chase...
With the breakaway caught, peloton reach the 5kms banner.... BigMat takes the front...
Final sprint.... BigMat leads... S. Rossetto, B. Drujon follows S. Tronet....
Yeeeess... S.Tronet brings it home....

D. Le Boulch counters the earlier attackers....
At the last climb, with 25kms to go, Dimitri drops his breakaway mates and goes solo..
Last 5kms and D. Le Boulch is still in front with one good gap to peloton... 1´55" ..
... althought his gap droped to only "41 sec, D. Le Boulch brings another stage win for BigMat... great ride... Drujon in 6th and Tronet in 7th did good too.

When Dimitri went alone, i never thought he would make it....maybe he was never caught because the strong wind.......... great surprise.

Breakaway with T. Vimpere,  R. Oyola and T. Bonnin....
With 55kms to go, T. Vimpere decides to go alone.. 5´07" gap to peloton..
... but this gap droped really fast, mainly because of Europcar as they want to go for stage win with Arashiro..Vimpere is caught with 15kms to go..
... and so we reach final sprint... B. Drujon follows
Y. Arashiro and S. Tronet follows A. Petit...
... and A. Petit wins.... another good finish from my riders..

The French team are doing well in France, a shame I can't see 33% of the pictures because of Imageshack image links braking.  |

Breakaway reach the only climb with 3´48"gap...
40kms to go, Europcar leads the chase in peloton... 1´11"gap..
With the breakaway caught, main sprinter teams started to make their trains... high pace, S. Tronet falls down from our train with 4kms to go... this would mess up our chances to challenge for stage win...
Sojasur train was the strongest and J. Simon enters last km almost with stage win on his pocket...
..and like we thought, Simon wins the stage.... B. Drujon still managed to finish 7th...

At least something for Simon today, when on real TDF he fail at last Km 
I'm not a "true" follower as I don't know what, but i miss someting here, maybe I dont like french much (except Europcar), or not make connection so tome "star" of team...
Still, I'm a fan of starting with small Continental team, not even belongs to Pro Continental, so good luck with bring some results to keep going up!
and about title... When i saw it maybe week ago, I was like: what the f... is that? Nice catch here, not even know that this team exist
anyway about imageshack, same problem, this picture container server is slow, it stays cutted about a half a minule then it fully load and be ok, usually it didn't take so long at other stories (5-10sec with full page of even more pictures on higher resolution)
Yep, thats me down here...

right after connecting to (number).imageshack.etc... message down left corner disappear is everything ok, didnt see there photobucket even blink, so looks yes, but better seeks for next pages, its hard to tell when these one are loading at last and you do not see any progress untill is everything done
edit: I just quick look to other story and photobucket pictures with 1024x640 full page (+- 20 pictures) was loaded almost instantly (waiting about one sec to pcmdaily respond only)

Thanks again
I will post with photobucket now on,...
7 riders form the break and this time there is no rider from BigMat..
Once again, Cofidis and Europcar were very active leading the chase but they missed it by 4 or 5 bikes at the end...  M. Barth leads final sprint out of breakaway...
.. and wins 7th stage....
