Luxembourg’s Bob Jungels claimed his first Tour de France stage win on stage nine on Sunday.
The AG2R Citroen rider went solo off the penultimate categorised climb and stayed in front for the remaining 60km.
He held off a late counter-attack from France’s Thibaut Pinot, who ended up finishing fourth behind Spaniards Jonathan Castroviejo and Carlos Verona.
Jungels, 29, is the first rider from Luxembourg to win a stage at the Tour since since Andy Schleck in 2011.
