Gerolsteiner's Stefan Schumacher had hoped to win Thursday's stage in the Circuit de la Sarthe, but was happy enough to settle for second and the leader's yellow jersey. "It was clear on the uphill finish that the team would ride for me. I'm good at that kind, and I was leading for a long time. Too bad that someone got by me. The stage win was gone, but I'm happy about the yellow," he said.
