In the competition for the green jersey, Sagan moved up to 3rd place when he scored 26 points – 10 points on the sprint premium and 16 at the finish. He has a total of 80 points and the leader Van Aert loses 90 of them.
“I thought there would be more people going up that hill, but he did it alone. By the time all the sprinters got back to the front, it was too late. Not much for me, it was quite a fast sprint, not very for me and I didn’t feel very good thing i should win” Sagan told RTVS.
