Hayman snød feltet og vandt

Løbet startede i Gien omkring 100 kilometer syd for Paris og sluttede i Bourges efter 191 kilometer med flere mindre bakker undervejs.

Efter omkring 20 kilometer slap en gruppe på 14 ryttere væk fra feltet. Vacansoleil-DCM havde hele tre ryttere med i form af Stijn Devolder, Marco Marcato og Bert-Jan Lindeman. De øvrige var John Degenkolb (HTC Highroad), Gustav-Erik Larsson (Saxo Bank-SunGard), Geoffroy Lequatre (RadioShack), Ludovic Turpin (Saur-Sojasun), Frédéric Guesdon (FDJ), Matthew Hayman (Sky), Alexandre Geniez (Skil-Shimano), Aldo Ino Ilesic (Team Type 1), Cesare Benedetti (Team NetApp), Anthony Perez (La Pomme Marseille) og Paul Voss (Endura Racing).

I finalen kørte Degenkolb, Lequatre, Marcato, Bodrogi, Hayman og Voss væk fra de andre, mens en større gruppe begyndte at nærme sig. Mod slutningen kørte Hayman væk fra de øvrige, og han kom alene i mål som vinder.
