The day started with a non-racing parade over the tidal <a href="/wiki/Passage_du_Gois" title="Passage du Gois">Passage du Gois</a>. When underway, the riders initially followed the coast, where the wind could have had an impact, before heading inland to <a href="/wiki/Les_Herbiers" title="Les Herbiers">Les Herbiers</a> and the finish on the Mont des Alouettes. </p><p>The first breakaway of the Tour was formed by three riders: <a href="/wiki/Lieuwe_Westra" title="Lieuwe Westra">Lieuwe Westra</a> of <a href="/wiki/Vacansoleil%E2%80%93DCM" title="Vacansoleil–DCM">Vacansoleil–DCM</a>, <a href="/wiki/Perrig_Qu%C3%A9m%C3%A9neur" title="Perrig Quéméneur">Perrig Quéméneur</a> of <a href="/wiki/Team_TotalEnergies" title="Team TotalEnergies">Team Europcar</a> and <a href="/wiki/J%C3%A9r%C3%A9my_Roy_(cyclist)" title="Jérémy Roy (cyclist)">Jérémy Roy</a> of <a href="/wiki/Groupama%E2%80%93FDJ" title="Groupama–FDJ">FDJ</a>. They attacked from the very beginning of the race and their maximum advantage was over six minutes. The top places in the intermediate sprint after 87 km (54 mi) were won by the breakaway members and the new points distribution saw green jersey contenders competing for the rest of points. <a href="/wiki/Tyler_Farrar" title="Tyler Farrar">Tyler Farrar</a> took fourth place ahead of <a href="/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Greipel" title="André Greipel">André Greipel</a>. About nine kilometres from the end, <a href="/wiki/Maxim_Iglinsky" title="Maxim Iglinsky">Maxim Iglinsky</a> collided with a spectator, and the resulting crash held up the majority of the field, including <a href="/wiki/Alberto_Contador" title="Alberto Contador">Alberto Contador</a> and <a href="/wiki/Samuel_S%C3%A1nchez" title="Samuel Sánchez">Samuel Sánchez</a>. This group were chasing the lead group of 78 riders, until within the last three kilometers, they were delayed by another crash that had split the lead group approximately in half. On the uphill finish, an attack by <a href="/wiki/Fabian_Cancellara" title="Fabian Cancellara">Fabian Cancellara</a> was successfully countered by <a href="/wiki/Philippe_Gilbert" title="Philippe Gilbert">Philippe Gilbert</a>, who was favourite for the stage, and who finished three seconds clear of <a href="/wiki/Cadel_Evans" title="Cadel Evans">Cadel Evans</a>, who finished a similar margin clear of the chasing group. Due to rules that protect riders against time lost due to accidents in the latter stages of a race, about 40 riders who had been in the same group as Gilbert and others at 3 km (2 mi) to go, but who were delayed by a later crash, were awarded the same time as those who finished just behind Gilbert and Evans, but those who caught up with them, having been delayed in the Iglinsky incident, lost at least 1'20".<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div style="clear:both;"

all the preceding stages added together. There were no breaks from the peloton until the first climb of the day, which was contested by <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Voeckler" title="Thomas Voeckler">Thomas Voeckler</a> (<a href="/wiki/Team_TotalEnergies" title="Team TotalEnergies">Team Europcar</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Hoogerland" title="Johnny Hoogerland">Johnny Hoogerland</a> (<a href="/wiki/Vacansoleil%E2%80%93DCM" title="Vacansoleil–DCM">Vacansoleil–DCM</a>), who were joined by <a href="/wiki/Juan_Antonio_Flecha" title="Juan Antonio Flecha">Juan Antonio Flecha</a> (<a href="/wiki/Ineos_Grenadiers" title="Ineos Grenadiers">Team Sky</a>), <a href="/wiki/Sandy_Casar" title="Sandy Casar">Sandy Casar</a> (<a href="/wiki/Groupama%E2%80%93FDJ" title="Groupama–FDJ">FDJ</a>), <a href="/wiki/Luis_Le%C3%B3n_S%C3%A1nchez" title="Luis León Sánchez">Luis León Sánchez</a> (<a href="/wiki/Visma%E2%80%93Lease_a_Bike_(men%27s_team)" title="Visma–Lease a Bike (men's team)">Rabobank</a>) and <a href="/wiki/Niki_Terpstra" title="Niki Terpstra">Niki Terpstra</a> (<a href="/wiki/Soudal_Quick-Step" title="Soudal Quick-Step">Quick-Step</a>). Terpstra was unable to stay with the escapees on higher climbs as the day went on, but the remaining five riders extended their lead. An early fall by <a href="/wiki/Alberto_Contador" title="Alberto Contador">Alberto Contador</a>, after a collision with <a href="/wiki/Vladimir_Karpets" title="Vladimir Karpets">Vladimir Karpets</a>, caused aggravation to an earlier knee injury, but a later fall delayed many riders, and caused the elimination of GC contenders <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Vinokourov" title="Alexander Vinokourov">Alexander Vinokourov</a> and <a href="/wiki/Jurgen_Van_den_Broeck" title="Jurgen Van den Broeck">Jurgen Van den Broeck</a>, and injury to <a href="/wiki/Andreas_Kl%C3%B6den" title="Andreas Klöden">Andreas Klöden</a> and other riders. The pursuit of the breakaway was delayed to allow riders involved in the crash, or who stopped to help their colleagues, to rejoin the peloton, thus increasing the likelihood that Voeckler, less than a minute and a half behind in the general classification, would take over the race leadership. Within the final 40 km, two of the leading five riders were involved in a dramatic crash after <a href="/wiki/Juan_Antonio_Flecha" title="Juan Antonio Flecha">Juan Antonio Flecha</a> was sideswiped by a <a href="/wiki/France_T%C3%A9l%C3%A9visions" title="France Télévisions">France Télévisions</a> car during an overtaking manoeuvre, causing fellow breakaway rider, <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Hoogerland" title="Johnny Hoogerland">Johnny Hoogerland</a> to crash into a barbed wire fence. His wound required 33 stitches. Although both riders were able to finish the stage<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> and they shared the combative rider award for the day (one of the rare cases when it had been jointly awarded), they were unable to stay ahead of the peloton. The other three riders from the breakaway retained most of their lead, with little urgency among the peloton for reducing their winning margin, and Sánchez sprinted clear to take the stage. Voeckler assumed the overall lead and Hoogerland had gained enough points prior to his crash to regain leadership in the King of the Mountains competition, while <a href="/wiki/Philippe_Gilbert" title="Philippe Gilbert">Philippe Gilbert</a> was again the first to finish from the main group, extending his lead in the points classification.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a
