The escapees of the day go by the names Canola, Dowsett, Teklehaimanot, Malacarne and De La Cruz. The gap stretched to a maximum of 5 minutes. With 30 kilometres left to race, Alex Dowsett attacked his fellow escapees and left them behind as he looked to time trial alone to the finish. A gallant, if futile effort against a speeding peloton, he was caught with 7 kilometres remaining.
One man down. Marcel Kittel was hoping for a stage win but a late crash infuriated the big German who hurled his bike in anguish. He later apologised on Twitter for the incident.
Young Italian sprinter Matteo Peluccchi took a surprising but very impressive victory, beating Arnaud Demare and André Greipel on the line. Race leader Mark Cavendish was boxed in for the sprint but does keep the leader’s jersey.
