Ireland's Dan Martin finished in fourth place today on stage three of the Tour de France.
Martin agonisingly missed out on a podium finish after a controversial day of action that was overshadowed by a high-speed crash approaching the first climb of the day.
The race had to be stopped for 15 minutes to allow riders to receive medical attention before it was re-started behind the race officials car.

Martin finished just a second behind third-placed Alexis Vuillermoz. Here is footage of today's crash:
