The bunch sprint finish at Parc des Oiseaux saw the fourth stage victory of Mark Cavendish at the 103rd Tour de France. It’s also his thirtieth since the first one in 2008. He outsprinted Alexander Kristoff and Peter Sagan to force the European Latin countries to a negative record: for the first time in the history of the Tour de France, no rider from France, Italy, Spain and Portugal has won any of the first fourteen stages. Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey.
