But he clinched victory after seeing off Italian Elia Viviani and Spain’s Juan Jose Lobato after the closing 128km ride for his second stage win of the week.

With his ten second bonus the Quick Step star, who completed the stage in 2hr 37min 15sec, ended up six seconds clear of Degenkolb, who crossed in ninth place.

Lobato took third overall, 10sec adrift of Cavendish.
