Danilo Di Luca moved one step closer to regaining the ProTour title he won back in 2005 with a third place finish at the GP Ouest France - Plouay behind an opportunistic Thomas Voeckler (Bouygues Telecom) and hard-sprinting Thor Hushovd (Crédit Agricole). The Italian, rumoured to be leaving Liquigas for Lampre-Fondital next season, leads Tour de France winner Alberto Contador (Discovery Channel) by 41 points with Alejandro Valverde (Caisse d'Epargne) and Cadel Evans (Predictor-Lotto) in third and fourth respectively.
