Drama about one kilometre into stage four of the Tour de France

A battered peloton hit the brakes for about a minute to protest dangerous conditions on the opening three stages.
The narrow winding roads to the finish lines have led to a number of accidents that knocked leading contenders either out of contention or out of the race.
Veteran sprinter Andre Greipel says the protest was planned, but he had to move forward and take charge.
Five years after his last victory at the Tour de France, Mark Cavendish has sprinted to his 31st win.
