Dorian Godon sprinted to 15th place after a technical, fast finish on stage five of the Tour de France.
The flat 158km stage had an early solo break from Baptiste Veistroffer (Lotto Intermarche), who spent much of the stage on his own, before being caught in the final 14km.
Godon was well looked after, with big efforts from Tobias Foss and Filippo Ganna, before a stellar lead out from Michal Kwiatkowski dropped off the Frenchman with 1.6km to go.
It was a technical finish, with a tight turn into the final kilometre, before a gradual uphill sprint greeted the front of the peloton. Godon sprinted hard, but in tight circumstances, was boxed in for the finish, crossing the line in 15th place.
Tomorrow will see the peloton return to the mountains, with five categorised climbs on the cards.
