Belgium's Jasper Philipsen has won a second consecutive stage at cycling's Tour de France after a chaotic finish in Nogaro.

He clinched victory ahead of Australian Caleb Ewan and third-placed Phil Bauhaus after a straight 800-metre run to the line which saw several riders crash.

Manxman Mark Cavendish again missed out on a record-breaking 35th stage win, as he came home in fifth.

Speaking to Eurosport, Cav said: "It was carnage! It was just a mixed lot in the final. I was constantly checking who was there and who had all their teamates.:

"This is the Tour where you have to gamble."
