Greg Van Avermaet won his first stage on the Tour de France on Friday as Peter Sagan finished second for the fourth time this year.
Belgian Van Avermaet won the 198.5km 13th stage from Muret to Rodez at the end of a tough 600m climb to the finish.
But it was yet more heartache for Sagan who has not won a Tour stage in two years, taking 20 top-five finishes since that last success, as Jan Bakelants was third.
Race leader Chris Froome came home seventh in a group, seven seconds back, alongside all his major yellow jersey rivals.
