Jonathan Tiernan-Locke (Endura Racing) został pierwszym liderem wyścigu Tour Méditerranéen. Brytyjczyk pokonał Yauheni`ja Hutarovicha (FDJ-Big Mat) oraz Sebastiena Chavanela (Team Europcar).
w 39. edycji wyścigu Tour Méditerranéen wystartowało dwóch Polaków. Są to Mistrz Polski Tomasz Marczyński (Vacansoleil-DCM) oraz Rafał Majka (SaxoBank). Kolarze na 1. etapie do pokonania mieli dziś 135 kilometrowy odcinek z miejscowości Pertuis do Meyreuil. Trasa była częściowo pofałdowana i znajdowało się na niej kilka górskich premii.
Po wielu atakach ostatecznie doszło do finiszu z peletonu. Wydawało się, że ekipa FDJ-BigMat znakomicie rozprowadza Hutarovicha, jednak w pewnym momencie biało-niebieski pociąg lekko się zawahał. Sprytnie wykorzystał to Brytyjczyk Tiernan-Locke, który wyskoczył zza pleców Białorusina i pomknął w kierunku kreski. Mało znanemu zawodnikowi udało się jako pierwszemu przekroczyć linię mety. Drugi był Hautarovich, trzeci Chavanel. W peletonie przyjechali Rafał Majka i Tomasz Marczyński.
