While France's wait for a Tour de France stage winner on Bastille Day continued on Monday, the home nation did at least come away with a Frenchman in a leader's jersey as Lenny Martinez rode into polka dots on stage 10.

No Frenchman has won a Tour stage on July 14, France's national day, since Warren Barguil won in Foix back in 2017, but Martinez finishes the day with something for home fans to cheer.
