Chavanel wins second stage for Cofidis team

Sylvain Chavanel bade farewell to Cofidis by delivering a second Tour de France stage win for the French team in the 163-kilometre flat stage from Roanne to Montlucon.

The 29-year-old from Chatellerault signed a two-year deal with Quick Step this week, but his breakaway victory on the 19th stage should ensure he parts with Cofidis on good terms.
