German Marcel Kittel claimed his fourth victory in this year’s Tour de France when he powered to an impressive Stage 10 win in a bunch sprint on Tuesday.
His compatriot John Degenkolb was second and Dutchman Dylan Groenewegen took third place.
Britain’s Chris Froome finished safe in the bunch to retain the overall leader’s yellow jersey.
Elie Gesbert jumped away at the start. He was accompanied by fellow Frenchman Yoann Offredo (Wanty-Groupe Gobert). The sprinters’ teams, however, had them on a tight leash.
None could match Kittel’s power as the Quick-Step Floors rider beat Degenkolb by more than a bike length.
