Tinkoff team owner Oleg Tinkov points to ꦺhis Peter Sagan shirt after his rider won stage 2 and took the yellow jersey

Tinkoff team owner Oleg Tinkov watched the finale of the second stage at the 2016 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France with the press in Cherbourg-Octeville, witnessing 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Peter Sagan's fifth career stage win that saw the world champion move into the yellow jersey for the💧 first time in 🙈his career.

Cyclingnews was on hand to capture the emotional moment Sagan crossed the line as Tinkov started to wildly celebrate, waving his crutch in the air, jumping up and down and shouting 'woo,woo,woo' repeatedly. It is the first yellow jersey for Tinkoff during his time as a team manager and completed the grand tour set following the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana victories by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alberto Contador.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Matthews was hoping for better on stage 2 of the Tour de France in Cherbourg-Octeville as the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Orica-BikeExchange rider settled for fifth on the same time as winner ಞPeter Saga💎n (Tinkoff) having earlier been caught in a crash with Alberto Contador. It was the best Tour de France result yet for the 25-year-old who moved up into 19th place overall.

"Mid-stage I had a bit of crash with Contador and hurt my back a bit and was a little bit unsure if I was going to contest the final or not but when it's a stage that suits me this well, I have to suck it up and go for it," he told SBS Television post stage. "Two crashes in two days is a not very nice but if you're not t🀅oo bad you have to keep pushing on. I was in good position in the final there. Maybe I would have liked to be two or three wheels in front to try and be Sagan's wheel but I was were I was and tried to move up for the sprint but I didn't quite have it for the final."

"This was the first stage I had marked and I wanted ꦍto follow as long as possible on the steep finish," he said. "It was good that there were four escapees today, that way it was less ner⛎vous in the bunch, although at times the course was narrow. There were only few flat sections during the stage and at the end there wasn’t only the climb towards the finish but also an uphill section with eight kilometres to go. The teammates did a good job to get me to the finish in a good position."

"The peloton had to chase hard to catch Stuyven, it was a very strong performance of him," he said. "At the end Jürgen Roelandts protected me and helped me to stay at the front. In the first one and a half kilometres of the last 🌠climb I could follow the best riders of the ꧟group, then it was half a kilometre flat and then we came to the steepest part with a fight man against man. Peter Sagan turned out to be the strongest. I gave all I got and finished seventh. When I look at the top ten of the stage I see the names I had predicted."

Sam Bennett (Bora-Argon 18) and Michael Morkov (Katusha) were two of the riders who suffered the most from the stage 1 crash into Utah Beach with both riders initially unsure of their future appearance in the 2016 edition of the race. The duo were able to finish the stage to Cherbourg with Bennett the Latern Rouge, and Morkov sitting second last on the same time as Benett's teammate Shane Archbold.

"This💃 was a very difficult day for Michael and he suffered a lot just to be able to finish the stage so we need to congratulate him for all that he did. We are happy to have a rider on the team with such strong character," Azevedo. "He cannot push with two legs because the injured leg is so swollen, so if he can get through tomorrow's critical stage, I believe he can start to recover after that. Tomorrow is a little flatter, but there are all of these small ups and downs so it makes it difficult."
