Typically, Edvald Boasson Hagen leads the way for Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins, the leaders of the Sky team, but the roles were reversed in the finale of the stage to Cap d'Agde. The yellow jersey was positioned at the front of the peloton as it raced under the ‘flamme rouge' and leading out the sprint for the man they call ‘Eddie'. The champion of Norway was beaten by Andre Greipel but the presence of Boasson Hagen's partners at the front grants Sky Procycling the stage victory. Lotto-Belisol, BMC, AG2R La Mondiale, RadioShack-Nissan and Katusha are other teams that put three men in the winner's time, so, in the general classification the positions remain unchanged. Alain Gallopin, the directeur sportif of RadioShack-Nissan made his ambitions clear when asked about the objectives for the rest of the Tour: “To win the team classification.”
