 Degenkolb was the first rider to start the sprint in a disorganised finale to the stage , but he was not able to maintain his speed and finished outside the top ten . The stage was won by Alexander Kristoff ( Team Katusha ) ahead of Nacer Bouhanni ( Cofidis ) and Bryan Coquard ( Team Europcar ) . Kwiatkowski therefore maintained his lead in the general , points and youth classifications , while Hivert took the polka dot jersey of the mountains classification .
