Kittel wins Tour de France Stage 4 in a sprint to Limoges (The Associated Press)

German rider Marcel Kittel claimed the fourth and longest stage of the Tour de France after a mass sprint on Tuesday. Kittel, who returned to the Tour with a new team after injuries and illness ruled him out last year, began his final surge for the line a little too early for comfort. It was Kittel’s ninth stage win at the Tour.
