Britain’s Mark Cavendish struggled on stage one of the Tour de France, finishing 39 minutes behind the peloton.
Bardet's team-mate Frank van den Broek was second following a breakaway from the two riders which ended with the pair finishing just seconds ahead of the closing peloton. The 39-year-old came out of retirement last year after coming within centimetres of breaking the record, before abandoning the race with a broken collarbone following a crash.
