For two days in a row, Russell Downing missed the lead by only one second. In Douarnenez, the home town of former Tour de France yellow jersey Ronan Pensec, he won another stage and grabbed the white and green jersey.

It was a hard day in the office with a speed over 43 km/h despite a strong headwind. After only 5km, Bretagne-Jean Floc'h, the team of the leader Stéphane Pétilleau, put three of their men in a 9 man breakaway: Sébastien Duret, Charles Guilbert and David Lelay, with Benoît Genauzeau and Perrig Quéméneur (Vendée U), Paul Manning (Recycling.co.uk), Rémi Pauriol (VC La Pomme), Yanto Barker and Jamie Norfolk (Wales). They stayed away for 100km and never had more than 1'20 lead. Then the rain and the final hills made the race extremely hard.

20 year-old Gianni Meersman of Beveren 2000 attacked on the circuit. He was rejoined by Petr Lazar of Dukla Praha and Alexandre Pichot from Vendée U. With one lap to go (5km), Pétilleau put the hammer down. "His teammates had worked a lot and he had no one with him," Downing noted. "I didn't either but I was excited by a man to man fight with him. The Czech rode away on the downhill, the Vendée U rider also, we caught them back, Pétilleau did a hard turn and he went again, he kept going on the flat, I only caught him at the last roundabout. I realized I could get him but with 350 metres to go, I thought it was too early. I chose 200 metres to, then he wasn't on my wheel."

With the bonus on the finish line, Downing is the new leader, but Pétilleau remains the main favourite. "He was beatable today, I think he's beatable on GC as well," the man from Sheffield said. "It'll be a good test for our team. It's our first big jersey in a big race. We'll do our best to keep it."

The Breton style of racing with a lot of hills and some bad weather seems to motivate the Brits a lot.
