AG2R's Simon Gerrans, who came back to racing after a messed-up season start due to injury, is hanging in there at the Tour de France. Supporting his teammates, who are experiencing a good Tour with one stage win and the yellow jersey too look back to, as well as good overall placings for Dessel and Moreau, Gerrans is bravely continuing the race despite various illnesses.
