Frenchman Laurent Mangel of SCO Dijon has taken over the lead in the Ruban Granitier Breton from Jussi Veikkanen, whose team of VC Roubaix missed the breakaway of the day. 11 riders took off after only 15km in the longest stage of the race (187km): Samuel Gicquel (Jean Floc'h), Olivier Kaisen, Kenny Lisabeth and Heath Blackgrove (Beveren 2000), Roy Curvers (Van Hemert), Yohann Gène (Vendée U), Tom Stubbe (Deschacht), Jonathan Dayus (U Nantes-Atlantique), Olivier Grammaire (SCO Dijon), Maint Berkenbosch (APAC) and Hew Pritchard (Wales).

They only got caught in the last kilometre of the stage! As they had more than 3 minutes advantage most of the time, the virtual leader was Dayus, laying 10th on GC. This was a perfect situation for his team-mate Simon Gerrans, the runner-up, but SCO Dijon also took profit of having Grammaire up the road to let the team of the leader Veikkanen do almost all the work in front of the bunch. Deschacht was also interested of closing the gap but it was the help of AVC Aix who allowed VC Roubaix to bring the pack back, despite a few attacks from Gicquel and a brave Dayus close to the end.

This very active race ended up in a bunch sprint and the same strongmen who aren't typical sprinters made it. Gerrans was close to overtaking Mangel on the line but missed by a few millimetres. The two men were equal on time, only 4 seconds down on Veikkanen. Because of the time bonus, Mangel is now the leader and Gerrans is still 2nd at 4 seconds, Veikkanen being 3rd at 6 seconds.

Mangel, 23, has already won an international stage race last week at the Tour of Nord-Isère. "If I was told that I would become the race leader thanks to a bunch sprint, I wouldn't have believed that," he commented. "It's my first win in a bunch sprint. I probably made it because I'm over the moon since my win last week. But I've not won that one yet. I'm very afraid of the Belgian team of Deschacht, more than of Gerrans and Veikkanen. The last stage with a hilly circuit on cobbles suits them perfectly."

"It'll be a thrilling finale on the pave!" commented a delighted Bernard Hinault who obviously enjoyed the spectacle he saw on the roads of his beloved region of Brittany.
