Bordeaux (France) (EFE) sign his victory number 35 and overcome the Belgian Eddy Merckx.
The Danish Jonas Vingegaard kept the yellow jersey on a day without a great story, in which the peloton arrived in a group after several stages without much of a margin.
The massive arrival in the French wine capital picked up the pace and once again Philipsen proved to be the fastest.
Cavendish was left with honey on his lips in the search for victory that will place him alone as the rider with the most stages on the Tour, in a goal in which he was the last winner, in 2010.
With this third victory in this edition, Philipsen already has five on the Tour.
