Rein Taarame (Cofidis) had the dubious distinction of being the first to leave some skin on the roads of France. After his fortunately minor crash, he needed an adjustment to his bike, shortly after this he ended up changing bikes, unfortunately, the crash happen just as the peloton ramp up the speed before hitting the final ascent of the day. With the contenders' teams trying to position their leaders for the assault on Col du Beal, Taarame was facing a hard chase back, a chase that would burn some of the energy he would need for the climb. Taarame is wearing the colors of Estonia National Road Champion rather than the bright red kit of Cofidis.
