Kittel wins again at Tour de France
LILLE, FRANCE — Marcel Kittel won the fourth stage of the Tour de France — his third of the race — in a sprint as the tour returned home from England on Tuesday.
Crashes ensnared some big names, but Vincenzo Nibali of Italy retained the yellow jersey. Unlike his easylooking wins in Stages 1 and 3, Kittel eked out victory by a half-wheel length at the end of the 164-kilometre ride from Le Touquet-Paris Plage to Lille Metropole along the Belgian border.
