A total of three accidents took place on the 207.5 km ride from Epernay to Metz, where race debutant Sagan powered past flagging German Andre Greipel of Lotto in the final metres to add to his wins on the first and third stages.
“I’m very happy to have won today. Yesterday I was a little unlucky, today I was lucky. Everything went well. I decided to take Greipel’s wheel because I knew that if I did that no one would be able to pass me,” said Sagan.
