Mark Cavendish hadn’t won three stages in a single Tour de France since 2012 when he raced for Team Sky along with eventual winner Bradley Wiggins. He made it three again in Montauban out of six stages after winning stage 1 at Utah Beach and stage 3 in Angers to leave Bernard Hinault behind in the history books of the Tour de France as he has now accumulated 29 victories since 2008, one more than the “badger”. The Manxman outsprinted Marcel Kittel and fellow compatriot Dan McLay who is a rookie riding for Fortuneo-Vital Concept. Greg Van Avermaet retained the yellow jersey.
