The inversion of the hierarchy within French teams seems completed now. While Decathlon takes both the stage and the jersey, FDJ's half-leader (the other half is supposed to be Donnenwirth if I understood correctly) goes into sprinters stages km-0 breakaways following an Uno-X (and again when his breakaway is caught because they was an intermediate sprint soon after it started), and their sprinter finishes after the 15^th^ place. Okay, Martin used his breakaway to pick a few time bonuses in order to – very partially – compensate for his loss of time yesterday. Meanwhile, Narvaez got half as much bonus without doing any effort.
