NANCY France (Reuters) - Italian Matteo Trentin gave his Omega Pharma-Quick Step team something to cheer about when he won the seventh stage of the Tour de France on Friday as top American contenders Tejay van Garderen and Andrew Talansky took tumbles.

Slovakian Peter Sagan was second and France's Tony Gallopin finished third. Italian Vincenzo Nibali retained the overall leader's yellow jersey. It was a moment to savour for the OPQS team after their British sprinter Mark Cavendish pulled out injured after a crash on the first stage.
