Michel Kreder (Garmin-Barracuda) znakomicie zaczyna nowy sezon. Holender drugi dzień z rzędu wygrał etap Tour Méditerranéen i umocnił się na fotelu lidera tej imprezy. Polacy przyjechali w peletonie.
Trzeci etap wyścigu liczył 127 kilometrów. Zawodnicy ścigali się z La Londe Les Maures do La Londe Les Maures. Przez opady śniegu, organizatorzy byli zmuszeni do zmiany trasy. W konsekwencji już po 100 kilometrach peleton wpadł na metę.
Odjechać próbowali: Michael Albasini (GreenEdge Cycling Team), Florian Vachon (Bretagne – Schuller) oraz (Team Type 1-Sanofi), jednak drużyna FDJ-BigMat kontrolowała sytuację.
W końcowym sprincie drugi dzień z rzędu triumfował 24-letni Holender Kreder. Dziś pokonał Danilo Napolitano (Acqua & Sapone) oraz Guillaume`a Blot (Bretagne – Schuller). Rafał Majka (SaxoBank) i Tomasz Marczyński (Vacansoleil-DCM) przyjechali w peletonie.
W klasyfikacji generalnej, Kreder ma 10 sekund nad Yauheni`m Hutarovich`em (FDJ-BigMat). Taki sam czas jak Białorusin ma Jonathan Tiernan-Locke (Endura Racing). Majka jest 77, a Marczyński ze stratą ponad 5 minut 123.
W niedzielę odbędzie się ostatni etap francuskiej etapówki, który ma zakończyć się na wzniesieniu Mont Faron. Jeśli pogoda za bardzo się nie popsuje, kolarze prawdopodobnie będą mogli wjechać na ten szczyt.
