Colombian wins a second Tour stage

Colombia’s Fernando Gaviria took his second win in four stages at the Tour de France on Tuesday, while Olympic champion Greg Van Avermaet kept the yellow leader’s jersey. Gaviria, 23, edged world champion Peter Sagan in a sprint finish. Gaviria surged across the line just inches ahead of the hard-charging Sagan, who was trying to add to his Stage 2 win, and Andre Greipel in a close third. Defending champion Chris Froome, who remained 55 seconds back due to his fall in Stage 1, finished safely in the pack with leader Van Avermaet. Next up is Stage 5, a hilly 204.5-kilometre leg from Lorient to Quimper. The three-week Tour ends July 29 in Paris.
