raymakestv Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 If Coquard hadn't zigged and zagged so much he would've been a hair ahead. Kittles just cruised a straight line.

'Dale Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Another photo finishWow What a ride by Coquard. Great to see him reaching these levels.
'Dale Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 Coquard, third yesterday, takes second by the slimmest of margins - even slimmer than Cavendish's yesterday. The young Frenchman came from well back and was roaring back to get up to Kittel, brushing shoulders with the big German. Coquard just, agonisingly, ran out of road.

'Dale Posted July 5, 2016 Posted July 5, 2016 "I feel very emotional right now – it feels like my first stage win again...I’m super happy. I’m very proud because the team was really fighting for this win. Things went wrong in the last days and I’m so happy to be back in the Tour and to win a stage like this. I can’t believe it." Marcel Kittel, Stage 4, winner
