Daniel McLay continues sprinting consistency in Limoges
Fortuneo - Vital Concept's Great Britain sprinter Dan McLay was ninth on his Tour de France debut in Utah Beach and ninth again in the second field sprint of the race into Angers. The 24-year-old, on his grand tour debut, continued his good start to the Tour as he rode to seventh place in Limoges.
"It was a finish that suited me. I am seventh which is a good result but above all I learn the lessons of each sprint. I will do the next with more confidence. I'll try play my chance 100%. I learn every time," said McLay.

McLay joined the French Pro-Continental team last year, winning a stage of La Tropicale Amissa Bongo, and has taken two wins in his second neo-pro season including GP de Denain through an impressive final surge.
He also won the Grand Prix de la Somme and recorded several top-ten results in stages of Tour de Picardie, Baloise Belgium Tour, Boucles de la Mayenne and the Route de Sud.
With six catergorised climbs on stage 5, McLay's next opportunity for a spring finish is expected to come on stage 6 into Montauban.
