Tinkoff-Saxo’s Peter Sagan took his 4th green jersey in a row, as he crossed the final finish line of Tour de France on the iconic Champs Élysées. Meanwhile, Alberto Contador concluded his Tour finishing 5th in the overall classification.
Peter Sagan didn’t get the stage win that he had been on the lookout for, but underlines after pulling on the green jersey that he is pleased with his Tour de France.
“I am very happy because this year was a very hard fight from the first stages. My role in the team was different from previous years. I’m very happy that I haven’t crashed and that I can make it here in the green jersey – it’s a special feeling for me. It has been a different Tour for me but also a very big experience to ride with Alberto Contador, he is a big champion and I’ve also had a lot of fun in this year’s Tour on the road and together with my teammates”, comments Peter Sagan before adding:
“For sure it was a very big fight from the start and I knew that it wasn’t easy. There was less pressure on me to create individual results but I also had a different role. But the pressure overall has been high, we have been very concentrated but it has been a big experience for me. I’ve tried to win stages, but it was not easy. I think I can be satisfied, I have been very aggressive and I have the green jersey”.
