BERN (SWITZERLAND) - World champion Peter Sagan pipped Alexander Kristoff in a photo finish to win the 16th stage of the Tour de France on Monday. This victory ensured this will go down as Sagan's best Tour yet, having also held the yellow jersey for three days during the first week. He won the second and 11th stages before this, but his third stage victory outstrips the two gained in each of 2012 and 2013. He was world champion back in September and then won his first prestigious "Monument" one-day classic at April's Tour of Flanders. And as he's well on his way to winning a fifth straight green jersey, the 26-year-old is enjoying his best Tour yet -- and the best season of his career.
