The first race of the French cycling season took place today in and around Marseille. The race took place in cold but sunny conditions and saw plenty of attacks in the opening stages. Lieuwe Westra was in one of those moves and held the lead until the final climb, where he was swept up by a leading group of nine.
Steve Cummings of Sky was in that group which would just manage to hold off the peloton to the finish. In the sprint Frenchman Jonathan Hivert took the victory from Johnny Hoogerland and Samuel Dumoulin. Cummings finished in fourth place.
Result
1. Jonathan Hivert - Saur-Sojasun
2. Johnny Hoogerland - Vacansoleil
3. Samuel Dumoulin - Cofidis
4. Steve Cummings - Sky
