Denmark's Nicki Sorensen fought off the challenge of six other breakaway riders to win the 12th stage of the Tour de France to Vittel.

On a subdued day's racing the peloton allowed the escapees to get away from them and Sorensen's brave final attack from 20km out proved decisive.

Britain's Mark Cavendish was eighth to extend his lead in the sprint standings and Bradley Wiggins came in 17th.

Italy's Rinaldo Nocentini was 48th but safely retained the yellow jersey.
