Canadian cyclist Hugo Houle claimed an emotional first-ever grand tour stage victory after a tough 16th stage of the Tour de France.
Houle attacked on the approach to the final climb and finished one minute, 10 seconds ahead of Valentin Madouas and fellow Canadian Michael Woods.
Houle dedicated the win to his brother, Pierrick, who was killed 10 years ago by a drunk-driver while out running.
Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard maintained his overall lead.
