Tour de France: Stage 16 highlights - Video
Sagan beats Kristoff in Berne with a bike throw
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Peter Sagan (Tinkoff) added his third stage win of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:2016 Tour de France Monday in Berne, taking out the bunch sprint from a reduced group ahead of Katusha's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alexander Kristoff. The stage decision came down to the finish photo, as Sagan won by a tyre width with a perfectly timed bike th𒉰row as Krist🔯off hesitated.
The 206km stage from Moirans-en-Montagne to Berne, Switzerland, was on of the longest of the Tour, but the flat parcours didn't offer much in the form of challenges to break up the bunch. A short cobbled clim💦b in the closing kilometres nixed the chances for the pure sꦐprinters, leaving all-rounders like Sagan and Kristoff to battle for the win.
Etixx-QuickStep teammates Tony Martin and Julian Alaphilippe decided to mak🍒e the peloton work hard before the second rest day of the Tour, taking off after 10 hard opening kilometres of racing for a two-man time trial. Three-time UCI time trial world champion Martin supplied most of the power to the breakaway, holding off a four-ꦇrider chase and the peloton until just before 20km to go.
Rui Costa (Lampre-Merida) then tried his luck with a solo move, bu𒁃t he was swept up with 4km to go as the sprinters' teams closed in on the finish for their fast men.
