Viviani held off Gianni Meersman of Belgium and Tony Gallopin of France, clocking 4 hours, 39 minutes, 15 seconds over the 191-kilometre ride from the French Alpine village of Chatel to Oyonnax in eastern France.
Four riders broke away from the main pack shortly after the start: French trio Thomas Damuseau, Arnaud Gerard and Rudy Molard and Portuguese rider Jose Mendes. Molard lasted the longest, eventually being caught about 15 kilometres out.
Viviani attacked a little more than 2 kilometres from the line.
Veilleux keeps the yellow jersey, leading by 1:56 overall from Meersman and 1:57 from Gallopin.
