90km - Bouygues Telecom general manager Jean-Rene Bernaudeau: "Since the start of the Tour we have had one strategy: to get involved in breakaways on stages which are winnable. Despite everything, the riders are super-motivated. They are pleased at having avoided all the crashes so far."

68km - Of the escapees, Rabobank man Juan Antonio Flecha is the only one to have won a stage of the Tour de France. His victory came in Toulouse in 2003. He celebrated his victory by doing an impression of an archer. The name Flecha means "arrow" in Spanish, as Bryan van den Bos points out.
