Egan Bernal safely navigated the final stage to win La Route d'Occitanie and lay down a marker ahead of the Tour de France, with Chris Froome finishing 37th.
Team Ineos’ Bernal was two seconds behind Benoit Cosnefroy, who won the fourth and final 195km stage from Lectoure to Rocamadour on home soil.
It meant Bernal finished 19 seconds ahead of team-mate Pavel Sivakov in the general classification.
Froome, into his final season at Ineos, finished nine minutes and 26 seconds behind his rival for the team’s lead rider at the Tour de France later this month.
Aleksandr Vlasov (Astana) finished third in the GC, 23 seconds behind Bernal and 14 ahead of Thibaut Pinot of Groupama–FDJ.
