The 36-year-old Katusha rider had been part of the day’s break and he held on for a memorable win to go alongside his stage three victory on the Mur de Bretagne in Belgium last week.

Yesterday, he attacked fellow breakaway men Jakob Fuglsang (Astana) and Romain Bardet (Ag2r La Mondiale) before skipping across to lone leader Michal Kwiatkowski (Etixx–Quick-Step).
