Mark Cavendish started the day in the gold jersey, with BMC riders in positions 2 - 6, and Team Sky riders in 7th to 11th in the GC standings all looking to change the order at the sharp end of things.
Omega Pharma Quick Step naturally were very keen to keep their man in gold, and with less wind again than on previous days, and only a small break, could Cav give team owner Mr Bakala a birthday stage win?
