Peter SAGAN (SVK/BORA - HANSGROHE) puts his shoulder into Wout VAN AERT (BEL/JUMBO - VISMA) as he ran out of road on the right hand side. He was relegated for this... a costly penalty in his bid for his 8th Green Jerseyshare this photo
Did Sagan misjudge his space? Was he looking to create space? Did Van Aert move off his line too much? Or is Sagan trying to avoid the selfie sticks?share this photo

“My closest opponent Sam Bennett is one of my best friends. It is always business when it comes down to sprinting. But we are happy for eachother when we win. I was very happy for him yesterday getting his first win. You saw how much it meant for him and I know how hard he worked for it.” said Caleb EWAN (AUS/LOTTO SOUDAL)share this photo
Your Stage 11 winner, Caleb EWAN (AUS/LOTTO SOUDAL): “It was such a crazy finish. I was in the front with 1.5km to go and dropped back because of the head wind. After my first stage win I knew I had to keep calm and wait for the right time and the gap to open. That happened quite late to the finish. I did a big throw on the line and didn’t know if I won. I had a real desire to win today. After yesterday I was disappointed and I am so happy to repay my teammates with the win.”share this photo
