Marcel Kittel (in blue) was declared the winner after much deliberation

Britain’s Chris Froome kept hold of the leader’s yellow jersey as Marcel Kittel won stage seven in a photo finish at the Tour de France.

It looked like being a dead heat but after much deliberation and a number of TV replays, Kittel was declared the winner ahead of Edvald Boasson Hagen.

The thrilling victory was the German’s second consecutive stage win and third triumph overall at this year’s event.

Britain’s Daniel McLay impressed again, finishing in 10th place.

“I had no clue if I won or not on the finish line,” said Kittel. “With 150m to go, I just had to pray the door opened for me and I had just enough.

“I am in great shape and super happy the team supported me. It is crazy and celebrating three stage wins is incredible.”
