In a race created for the sprinters, the 15th stage has logically concluded with a status quo in the overall team classification with all the riders finishing in the same time in Montpellier. The sum of the places once again falls in favor of the Garmin-Cervélo team with Tyler Farrar second to Mark Cavendish, then came Julian Dean (18th) and Thor Hushovd (22nd).
The modest French formations, Cofidis and Saur-Sojasun got no relief in this stage where a prize was still on offer – and Tony Gallopin (COF) took eighth while Jimmy Engoulvent (SAU) scored 11th.
In the general rankings for teams Leopard-Trek retains the lead ahead of two French squad that performed well in the mountains Europcar and AG2R La Mondiale.
