• Geraint Thomas stays in yellow after keeping out of trouble
Arnaud Demare has won stage 18 after a bunch sprint finish in Pau, holding off Christophe Laporte (Cofidis) and Alexander Kristoff (UAE-Team Emirates) to earn his first stage victory of this year’s Tour.
The Groupama-FDJ rider brushed off an online row with rival sprinter Andre Greipel, who accused the Frenchman of using race vehicles to make it up the final climb in Wednesday’s stage. Greipel has since apologised and retracted his comments.
