Thibaut Pinot (FDJ) was desperate to chase down the fleeing Jean-Christophe Peraud (AG2R) but wasn't getting any help form Pinot's teammates Alexis Villermoz and Jan Bakelants. Pierrick Fedrigo (Bretagne Seche) was happy to sit in and let the Frenchman do the work. Given the lack of help, Pinot looked back and then gave another acceleration to rid himself of the wheel suckers. With just under a kilometer left to race, Peraud had a tall order to make up 22 seconds on his countryman and adversary up the Col.
