Stage 3: Saint-Malo > Nantes

What a day this was. The race started off not unlike any other flat stage. There was a breakaway that gained the advantage of huge time gaps, and the peloton began to reel them back in. However, the teams of the sprinters severely misjudged the time gaps, and didn't catch up - leaving it up to the 4 man breakaway to determine the race leader. I was rooting for Will Frishkorn because he's on an American team, and the others were French (they don't need my cheering)... But Samuel Dumoulin won, giving Romain Feillu the Yellow Jersey - wrenching it from the hands of Alejandro Valverde. Will Frishkorn was reasonable disappointed by his lack of a win, but his team is doing great for their first time in the Tour.
