Stage 10 threatened to erupt into chaos at several moments, thanks to crosswinds and road furniture-induced crashes. But in the end we were treated to a traditional bunch sprint and a long-deserved stage win for Sam Bennett.

The 29-year-old Irishman had won stages in the Vuelta a España and Giro d'Italia, but not the Tour. On Tuesday, he finally crossed the line first at the Grand Boucle by following a brilliant leadout by Michael Morkov and breaking with just 100 meters to go. Caleb Ewan attacked off his wheel and gained on him, but fell a quarter of a wheel short as they threw their bikes to the line. As the pair coasted past the finish, Ewan reached out his fist and congratulated his rival.

After the stage, Bennett gave an emotional interview, and apologized for being a "cry baby."

Peter Sagan finished third, and gave up the green jersey to Bennett, who could become the first rider to ever beat Sagan heads up on the points classification. Sagan has won the green jersey every year he has completed the Tour de France, only failing to win in 2017 when he was disqualified for throwing an elbow at Mark Cavendish.
