Jasper Philipsen of Alpecin-Deceuninck sprinted to victory on Tuesday's 16th stage of the Tour de France, a 189 km flat ride from Gruissan to Nimes, with Ireland's Sam Bennett crossing the finishing line fourth.
The win was Philipsen's third on the Tour this year while green jersey holder Biniam Girmay crashed with less than 2km left.
Bennett of team Decathlon-AG2R-La Mondiale moves up to 13th in the green jersey standings following that race placing which earned him an 18-point haul and has now amassed 91 overall, 21 points outside the top 10 in the points classification.
The Carrick-on-Suir native won the green jersey at the 2020 Tour de France.
