Sagan edged out Belgian Thomas De Gendt and Jarlinson Pantano of Colombia, who won the day's combativity award, to take the overall title. His Tour may get even better yet as he is one of the favourites to win Sunday's final stage that finishes on the Champs Elysees in Paris. The 26-year-old Slovak was regularly in breakaways and one audacious attack in crosswinds allowed him to win the 11th stage ahead of yellow jersey wearer Chris Froome.
