Angelo Furlan of Credit Agricole bagged the first stage of l'Etoile from Pezenas to Palaval-les-Flots, west of Marseille. So far L'Equipe is the only place to list any sort of finish order, but the basic story is Furlan took a group sprint from Mark Cavendish, Cookie and others. CN has a list of stages. Nobody else seems too interested.
