The Dutch team Vacansoleil-DCM is the first to lead the team standings at the end of a stage that Juan Antonio Flecha helped to animate. The Spaniard was part of the five-man break that lasted for 175km but it was the performance of the youngest rider in the race, 19-year-old Danny van Poppel – who finished third in the stage – that helped elevate the team his father is a directeur sportif of to first in the rankings. Kris Boeckmans was 10th while the 27th place from Sergey Lagutin helped Vacansoleil finish ahead of Orica-GreenEdge and Lotto-Belisol with the latter teams both affected by crashes that eliminated their sprinters Matt Goss and André Greipel, respectively.
