Saint-Atienne: Peter Sagan finished second for the fourth time at this Tour de France as Alexander Kristoff won Thursday's 12th stage. Sagan now has seven top four finishes and has come home in the top 10 nine times out of 12 stages but has yet to win one this year.

Once again the 24-year-old was just pipped in a sprint finish as Norwegian Kristoff took victory after 185.5km of undulating terrain from Bourg-en-Bresse to Saint-Etienne, with young Frenchman Arnaud Demare third.
