Ewan flew past five other cyclists and then also the Irishman Bennett to pinch the victory after a powerful sprint.
- In the chaos that was at the end, I held back a bit, and it gave me the chance to rest my legs a bit before the final sprint.
And I managed to find a way forward.
There is always a small risk of coming from behind, but I got through the wall in front and it was resolved in the end, says Ewan in Eurosport's broadcast.
Fourth stage victory
The victory on the 198-kilometer mountain stage from Nice to Sisteron was Ewan's fourth in the French cycling classic.
In the end, it was a large group of cyclists who made up for the sprint, but large parts of the stage were otherwise a single long hunt.
The Frenchman Jérôme Cousin made a break with almost 130 km left to drive.
It lasted a long time, but with 15 kilometers left, the cluster was catching up.
In the summary, home cyclist Julian Alaphillipe still leads.
