Biniam Girmay took his third victory in 11 days after winning stage 12 of the Tour de France in Villeneuve-sur-Lot, while Mark Cavendish was described as “upset and angry” after being relegated from fifth place in another hectic sprint finale.
The Tour’s record-breaking stage winner was penalised by the race jury for “deviation from the chosen line, that obstructs or endangers another rider”, and dropped down the field to 68th place on the day.
