A review of what happened Monday and a look at what to expect in today’s stage:
* Monday’s stage: A mostly flat trek from Saint-Malo to Nantes over 129.3 miles.
* Winner: French rider Samuel Dumoulin of Cofidis took the sprint after a four-man breakaway led almost from the start. William Frischkorn of the United States was second, ahead of Romain Feillu of France.
* Yellow jersey: Feillu completed the French double by taking the race lead from Alejandro Valverde, and leads Paolo Longo Borghini of Italy by 35 seconds.
* Quote of the day: “I didn’t ride for 2 1/2 months because of toxoplasmosis. I could barely walk. I was extremely motivated, and maybe that gave me the will to win today.” -- Feillu
