Tour de France: Sam Bennett finishes 12th as Biniam Girmay takes his third stage win

Biniam Girmay took his third stage win of the Tour de France to continue his dominance of the sprints as Primoz Roglic’s bid for yellow was all but ended on stage 12 to Villeneuve-sur-Lot.

Girmay beat Wout van Aert in a somewhat messy sprint that saw commissaires relegate Arnaud Demare and Mark Cavendish from third and fifth place respectively.

Ireland's Sam Bennett finished in 12th place, while Ben Healy finished 46th.

But there was then a more than two-minute wait for Roglic to finish after the Slovenian crashed around 10km from the end, falling nearly five minutes behind race leader Tadej Pogacar overall.
