Pidcock, right, won a stage of the Tour in 2022 on Alpe d'Huez
Britain's Tom Pidcock was pipped on the line as France's Anthony Turgis won the ninth stage of the Tour de France.
Pidcock, of Ineos Grenadiers, was narrowly beaten in a final sprint for the line at the end of a frantic 199km stage in Troyes, which included several gravel sections.
Slovenia's Tadej Pogacar retained the leader's yellow jersey following several attacks between contenders for overall victory.
Pogacar, of UAE-Team Emirates, leads Remco Evenepoel of Soudal-Quick Step by 33 seconds overall, with defending champion Jonas Vingegaard of Visma-Lease a Bike in third, one minute 15 seconds further back.
