Defying the odds, a four man breakaway succeeded in escaping the peloton during stage three of the Tour de France to Nantes on Monday giving Samuel Dumoulin (Cofidis) the stage win and Romain Feillu (Agritubel) the yellow jersey for a rare all-French double.

The stage was dominated by Dumoulin, Feillu, Will Frischkorn (Garmin-Chipotle) and Paolo Longo Borghini (Barloworld). They attacked in the first kilometre of the 208km stage and were never seen again.
