In an exciting start to the race, Pointier from France has finally managed to take a stage by force and romp home with a convincing win over such a short distance (approx 12km). For someone who has in previous years trained long distance this sprint was a really great start for him.
The rest of the results were perhaps surprising in places but I don't think anyone's too worried about losing a few minutes at this point. Milos came in 4th losing only 1m 15s to Pointier. Radek, always a firm favourite to win came in 7th. But I don't think any of us should think that this is the way things will go for the rest of the race. If nothing else there are always surprises here in France.
