Jumping the Frenchmen
Out of the original breakaway the team of FDJ set it up for their man, Thibaut Pinot, to jump away on the final climb up out of Mende. AG2R did the same for their man, Romain Bardet. However neither Frenchman nor French team had counted on the ability of Stephen Cummings (MTN-Qhubeka) to come charging up from behind as the pair rode under the flame rouge indicating the final kilometer of the day's racing.
