Lilian Calmejane (Direct Energie) se ha llevado el triunfo en una dura tercera etapa de la Etoile de Bessèges (2.1, Francia), con un recorrido de 152,6 kilómetros con salida y llegada en la misma localidad de Bessèges, y es nuevo líder.
Calmejane formaba parte de una numerosa y potente escapada de 22 personas donde estaba Jaime Rosón (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), que finalmente ha sido 15º, acompañado de corredores del nivel de Tony Gallopin (Lotto-Soudal), Pierre Latour y Samuel Dumoulin (Ag2r La Mondiale), Sylvain Chavanel (Direct Energie) o Rein Taaramäe (Katusha-Alpecin), entre otros, que estaban destacados durante gran parte de la etapa.
Finalmente, el vencedor el año pasado en el Mirador de Teixido en la Vuelta a España se ha fugado junto a Hubert Dupont (Ag2 La Mondiale), Jérôme Cousin (Cofidis) y Romain Combaud (Delko Marseille-Provence KTM), de los que posteriormente se ha ido en solitario para llevarse el triunfo que le sirve para colocarse como nuevo líder de la clasificación general.
