Race leader Peter Sagan (Cannondale) in Zottegem. As cyclingnews.com reported, with his mind on the Tour of Flanders on Sunday, it was no surprise when Sagan sat up and dropped back when the peloton rode over the Kemmelberg. He rolled across the finish line at the end of the first lap in de Panne more than nine minutes back and climbed off his bike.share this photo
