Ben King (Cannondale-Garmin) pokonując współtowarzysza ucieczki Clementa Sant-Martina (Team Marseille 13 – KTM), został pierwszym liderem Criterium International.
Na pierwszy rzut oka, inauguracyjny etap tegorocznego Criterium International to klasyczny odcinek dla sprinterów. Zawodnicy mieli do przejechania 92,5 km w płaskim terenie. W połowie dystansu czekała tylko jedna górska premia.
Ucieczkę dnia utworzyli: Ben King (Cannondale-Garmin) oraz Clement Sant-Martin (Team Marseille 13 – KTM). Duet w najkorzystniejszym dla siebie momencie wypracował cztery i pół minuty przewagi.
Amerykanin i Francuz dobrze rozłożyli siły i 15 kilometrów przed kreską wciąż mieli 2 minuty i 10 sekund. W peletonie żadna z drużyn nie kwapiła się do pracy i 10000 metrów dalej przewaga wynosiła 1 minutę i 35 sekund.
Finisz po etapowe zwycięstwo wygrał Ben King, a Sant-Martin musiał zadowolić się drugim miejscem. Finisz z peletonu po trzecie miejsce wygrał Romain Feillu (Bretagne Seche). Paweł Poljański (Tinkoff-Saxo) finiszował na szesnastym miejscu.
