Perrig Quémeneur has already covered 433 kilometres in breakaways since the start in Utrecht, so he leads the attackers' classification made by sports daily newspaper L'Equipe. “I'm racing with fewer strength than at the beginning of the Tour so I've ridden slower in the Pyrenees but the form will come back. It would be good if it was today because I want to stay in the lead of this classification and moreover race for the stage win today. I get to know this morning that the only stage finish in Rodez (in 1984) was won by a rider from my province (Finistère, in Brittany) so I'd love to maintain that invincibility. But it's a pretty hard stage. Attackers are motivated but also the sprinters who haven't won yet, the punchy climbers, etc.”
