A cobbled section and a fairly steep climb there favored more versatile sprinters.<\/p>\n<p>The sprint turned out beautiful. The main competition came from Peter Sagan and Alexander Kristoff. Alexander seemed to have won, but in the last centimeters he made a mistake: he didn&#8217;t throw his bike at the line, which Peter did brilliantly, creating a fine example for children&#8217;s academies of how a tight sprint is finished. It&#8217;s Peter&#8217;s third win at this year&#8217;s Tour, and he also has a big lead in the sprinters&#8217; classification, which he will very likely give up to no one!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5634\" style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/yuzurusunada.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5634\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-5634\" src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/sample-SAGAN-Peter020pp.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"http:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/sample-SAGAN-Peter020pp.jpg\" alt=\"18 July 2016 103rd Tour de France Stage 16 : Moirans-en-Montagne - Berne 1st : SAGAN Peter (SVK) Tinkoff, Maillot Vert 2nd : KRISTOFF Alexander (NOR) Katusha Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27500%27%20height%3D%27334%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20500%20334%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27500%27%20height%3D%27334%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/sample-SAGAN-Peter020pp-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/velorbola.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/sample-SAGAN-Peter020pp.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5634\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">18 July 2016<br \/> 103rd Tour de France<br \/> Stage 16 : Moirans-en-Montagne &#8211; Berne<br \/> 1st : SAGAN Peter (SVK) Tinkoff, Maillot Vert<br \/> 2nd : KRISTOFF Alexander (NOR) Katusha<br \/> Photo : Yuzuru SUNADA<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is a rest day, after which the Tour&#8217;s decisive third week begins!
