Race report
Once the flag is dropped Guillaume Van Keirsbulck escapes. Nobody feels like joining him and he solos to a maximum lead of more than 13 minutes. With 17 kms remaining the Flemish rider is reeled in.

A first crash just before the ast kilometre takes down Geraint Thomas and Dylan Groenewegen, while Marcel Kittel is out of position to compete in the sprint. A small group powers to the line on the final straight. Peter Sagan closes the door on Mark Cavendish, who crashes hard and takes down John Degenkolb and Ben Swift.

Arnaud Démare is ahead of all the turmoil and sprints to the win with Peter Sagan in second and Alexander Kristoff in third. Yet, Sagan is disqualified and André Greipel takes third place.

Geraint Thomas is given the same time as Demare and so he wears the maillot jaune in tomorrow’s stage to La Planche des Belles Filles.
