VILLARS-LES-DOMBES, France (AP) Mark Cavendish sprinted to his fourth victory in this year's Tour de France in the 14th stage Saturday.
Finishing in the main pack, Chris Froome had little trouble holding onto the yellow jersey.
It was Cavendish's 30th career win in the Tour, putting him within four of Eddy Merckx's record. The British sprinter held up four fingers after crossing the line.
The peloton stopped for a minute of silence at the start of the stage in honor of the 84 victims of the truck attack in Nice.
It was the first of three days of national mourning in France and fans waved the country's flag all along the mostly flat 208.5-kilometer (130-mile) route from Montelimar to the bird sanctuary of Parc des Oiseaux in Villars-Les-Dombes near Lyon.
