World champion Peter Sagan won his eighth Tour de France stage despite a technical glitch on the uphill finish to the third stage in Longwy. Sagan's foot came unclipped from his pedal as he started to accelerate at the finish, but he kept his calm and still proved too strong for the competition at the end of the 212.5km run from Verviers in Belgium.

Britain's Geraint Thomas was well placed in the finish to keep hold of the race leader's yellow jersey. His team leader and reigning champion Chris Froome also finished among the front-runners and moved up from sixth to second, 12 seconds back. Australian Michael Matthews was second on the stage with Dan Martin of Ireland third, just ahead of Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet in fourth.

Matthews moved up to third overall, with the same time as Froome, and Sagan [sat] in fourth, a second further back
