With former world champion Cavendish on his wheel, Sagan attacked from well back and reeled in Andre Greipel to claim the victory. Race leader Cavendish left his attack too late while a fading Greipel took third on the stage. Sagan praised his team’s tactics on the stage. “We made the stage hard to wear out the sprinters,” he said. “My teammates were great on the final climb and the contenders paid for their efforts on the final straight. I beat the best sprinters of the peloton and this is a great satisfaction. My goal for the ‘Tirreno’ is reached, now we’ll see day by day.”
