Other Sports: Trentin wins race to Lyon

Matteo Trentin stayed strong to win the race to Lyon and further improve the fortunes of Omega Pharma - Quick-Step.

Trentin wins race to Lyon

Trentin, a team-mate of Mark Cavendish, won the sprint finish after initially breaking away in an 18-man group. Team Sky's Chris Froome retained the yellow jersey, despite finishing more than seven minutes behind Trentin.
Froome is currently more than two minutes in front of Bauke Mollema and Alberto Contador and the Kenyan-born rider was in no danger after the breakaway group contained no riders who could threaten his lead.
The route for stage 14 consisted of seven climbs and Germany's Jens Voigt tried to break away early in a group of four before being caught by 14 other riders.
Those riders were split up when Julien Simon sprinted clear with 15km to go. The Frenchman was looking to become the first French stage winner of the race's 100th edition before Trentin found some extra speed to pip the pack to victory.
Speaking about the 15th stage, race-leader Froome said: "A climb like Ventoux at the end of a 240km stage is brutal and I'm expecting big time gaps on the general classification.
"I think a lot of people have left energy on the road and lost time over the last couple of days and there are lots of excuses to attack."
