Dylan Groenewegen wins consecutive Tour de France stages; cobblestones next

The Netherlands’ Dylan Groenewegen won his second straight Tour de France sprint stage on Saturday as the top contenders prepare to traverse tricky cobblestones on Sunday.

Groenewegen, 25 of team LottoNL–Jumbo, again upstaged world champion Peter Sagan of Slovakia and Colombian Fernando Gaviria, who combined to win four of the first five stages.

The favorites for the final podium in Paris on July 29 finished in the same time. Ireland’s Dan Martin, the Irishman who won stage six and finished sixth at the 2017 Tour, crashed and crossed 1 minute, 16 seconds behind.
