Kristoff takes another Tour stage

Norway's Alexander Kristoff claimed his second Tour de France victory when he won a bunch sprint to take Sunday's 15th stage after the peloton reined in the day's breakaway in the final straight.

New Zealand's Jack Bauer, who broke clear with Swiss Martin Elminger, was caught by the chasing pack less than 100 metres from the line at the end of a 222-km ride.

Katusha rider Kristoff, who won the 12th stage on Thursday, won the race to the line as he edged out Australian Heinrich Haussler and Slovakian Peter Sagan, second and third respectively.

Italian Vincenzo Nibali stayed safe in a bunched finish and retained the overall leader's yellow jersey in an unchanged top 10.

Monday is the second rest day of the Tour, which finishes next Sunday.

Tinkoff-Saxo rider Nicolas Roche finished well down the field in 14th place, and now lies 48th overall, + 01h 35' 29'' off the lead.
