The Slovak was expelled from the Tour on the fifth stage after his elbow knocked British sprinter Mark Cavendish to the tarmac in a high-speed bunch finish.
On Saturday, there was a mass fall in the peloton with 100m to go but this time Sagan played no part in the accident. Sagan burst clear of Australia's Orica rider Caleb Ewan in the last stretch to emerge winner.
