In the second sprint at Richelieu after 98.5 kilometres, Brard took the points from Vogondy and Jégou as the feed zone approached. Back in the peloton, race favourite Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) hit the deck and required some treatment to his knee, but was then guided back by his team.

White gauze is cool. Superficial injury or not, the entire appendage must be wrapped!
