Addy Engels
Engels was one of the stars in today’s breakaway. “The first part of the race was ridden at a high speed. I managed to get into the good break, among those of us in the head group there was excellent collaboration. When Van Garderen accelerated the first time I wasn’t able to handle the rhythm. I paid for the initial high speed.” 

Dries Devenyns 
The Belgian rider had a great race, closing out in 6th place. “I’m very satisfied with my stage. After yesterday’s fall I thought I’d be suffering more, but instead today my legs were spinning really well. I kept up with the best and at about 300 metres from the finish line when Gilbert made his move I tried to respond by playing all my cards. But at the moment Gilbert is in a whole different class. It’s a sixth place, however, that gives me more conviction in my means. My legs are good and looking forward to the next stages.” 

Kevin De Weert 
Kevin closed the stage today in 36th place, 33 seconds behind the winner. He actually holds the 16th position in the general classification. “I’m happy because I didn’t lose much on the first guys in an arrival more adapted to riders who are more snappy, more explosive than me. After a week of racing I’m in a good position in the general classification. I’m happy and I’m looking forward optimistically to the next stages, which will be fundamental for the overall standings.” 

Jerome Pineau was an unfortunate player in the stage. At about 5 kilometres from the arrival Pineau had to say good bye to any possibility of victory due to a flat back wheel. “It’s too bad because my legs were really good. I really hope that this bad luck is now behind us and that I can try something in the next stages,” explained Pineau. 

Sylvain Chavanel closed out 114th, more than 11 minutes back. “In the first hours of the race things didn’t go too bad. But in the final I was tired and feeling some pain. So I preferred to climb at my own pace and save some precious energy.”

Movistar Team had their minutes of podium again today at the 2011 Tour de France as José Joaquín Rojas went back to put on his green jersey as leader of the points classification in the Grande Boucle. José Joaquín Rojas gained the coveted maillot back on stage 7, a long, 218k ride through the heart of the country from Le Mans to Châteauroux, marked again by crashed which could fortunately be avoided by the lads directed by Eusebio Unzué.

With the daily break on front -four escapees this time-, Rojas was 2nd into the bunch sprint at the intermediate bonus, just after Cavendish and two places ahead of Belgian Philippe Gilbert, which put him as virtual maillot vert before confirming it at the proper finish with the 9th place, the Murcian now on top with nine points over Gilbert and 17 over Cavendish, who nears the Movistar Team sprinter after his win on Friday. Rojas commented on stage during the way back to the hotel: “One of the main goals on today was taking the green jersey back and we did it, but I think it was my worst sprint in this year's Tour. It was a super-nervious finish, and even though I find my place from nowhere in other sprints, I couldn't make it today. It was really hard for me to get into position, and the only positive thing I keep from today's is that I seized the jersey again. I can't ask more from the team; they are where they're supposed to be and Ventoso was at my side until the 2km banner. It might have seemed as a transition day from the television, but it was a hard day for our stamina. I hope to go through better days and, overall, making many more stages on this jersey. My biggest enemy? Maybe Cavendish more than Gilbert, because he's showing he's super strong, but there's still two weeks left and it's hard to say who will be my biggest rival to win this jersey in Paris."

The first real mountain-top finish of this year's French grandtour comes tomorrow at the Super-Besse ski resort (Cat. 3), which will be tackled after the Col de la Croix-de-Saint-Robert, the first Cat. 2 ascent of this tour.

06-Jul-2011: At about 10 km before the feed-zone Sylvain Chavanel fell hard on his right side, ending up off road and dislocating the acromion-clavicular joint in his right shoulder. 

"In the fall I also hit my head and broke my helmet” Chavanel says. “The consequences could have been much worse. Tomorrow morning I’m lining up for the start as usual, but it’s obvious that tomorrow I can look forward to a day of suffering." 

At about 70 km from the arrival it was Boonen, Steegmans, Ciolek and Engels who bit the asphalt. The four guys were pedalling close together when someone ahead of them took a fall and they all ended up on the ground.

"To avoid the riders ahead of me I braked but my front wheel touched another athlete’s back wheel” Boonen says .“I flew over my bike in an endo and I fell, hitting my head and the right side of my body. My helmet busted on impact."

In the fall Boonen suffered a series of abrasions to his shoulder, elbow and right gluteus, which is sporting a rather deep cut. 

"After the first few minutes of shock I got back on my bike and I wanted to finish the stage” continues Boonen. “I have to thank Engels for his support. Alone I would have risked ending up outside of the maximum time. Now all I only want to recover some Energy from tomorrow."

Boonen will be starting tomorrow’s stage.

In the fall Gert Steegmans took some scrapes to his knee and his left shoulder. The Belgian rider is also suffering from pain in his left wrist. Steegmans will line up for the start tomorrow. 

Kevin De Weert also fell with Contador in a stretch about 100 km from the arrival, fortunately without any consequences.
