World champion Peter Sagan timed his attack to perfection to win, riding into the race leader’s yellow jersey too.
It was a very tough day for Sam Bennett who was badly injured yesterday. The young Irish rider came in last, over 16 minutes behind Sagan, after a heroic ride to make sure he lives to fight another day.
Belgian Jasper Stuyven spent almost the entire 183km stage from Saint-Lo to Cherbourg in the lead but was agonisingly caught in the final kilometre.
Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe took second with Spain’s Alejandro Valverde third.
