The scenery is really stunning

 

Beautiful course - curvy roads, green fields, villages, trees. French countryside in summer.

After two climbs in quick succession, we now have a small break. The next highlight is the intermediate sprint at km 33.5.

This group is not really getting away. Flecha doesn't like that and does his best to up the speed.

And here is why Anton took those mountain points ahead of Rolland just now.

 

HIs teammate Mikel Nieve came into the stage only 5 points behind Rolland, who was in second place. So Euskaltel doesn't want Rolland to get any more points, and hopes that Nieve can perhaps win the closing climb to take the polka-dots.

The lead group now has a gap of only 58 secnds as the peloton comes to the sprint. Greipel took the next remaining points. Flecha was the first across the line for the lead group.

The yellow (Froome) and white (Quintana) jersey is higher in the order of things.

The next best rider will earn the jersey.

 

 

Right now, Nieve and Rolland are contesting.

The one that takes the final coming will earn the polka dotted jersey.

Voigt doesn't want the group to get caught and pulls them up the next climb.

 

The group splinters and he is the lead rider at 1:34".

 

Machine!
