Irishman Sam Bennett has won the Paris Bourges race.
A 186.2km race from Gien to Bourges saw six riders in the break for most of the stage.
The peloton which included a strong European field, closed them down and their lead was only 25 seconds going into the final twenty kilometres.
They were caught and it came down to a sprint which Sam Bennett of Bora Argon 18 won ahead of Nacer Bouhanni, Giacomo Nizzolo, Arnaud Démare and Roman Feillu.
