cycling: Tour of California: Sagan takes overall victory

18 May 2015 by Andrew Waldera

Cycling: Peter Sagan of Team Tinkoff-Saxo secured the overall victory with a third place finish on the final day of the 10th Amgen Tour of California. In the overall standings, the Slovak relegated Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe to second place with a razor-thin lead of just three seconds.

The hard-fought final stage of the eight-day tour of California was decided in a mass sprint. After 105 kilometers, Mark Cavendish (Etixx-Quick Step) crossed the finish line in front of Wouter Wippert (Drapac) and the overall winner Peter Sagan. At the same time, but in 12th place, Julian Alaphilippe crossed the finish line. Thanks to time bonuses, Peter Sagan was just about able to move ahead of the young Frenchman in the overall classification after more than 1138 kilometers. Colombian Sergio Luis Henao (Team Sky) finished third in the 10th Amgen Tour of California, 37 seconds behind. The best sprinter of the tour was Mark Cavendish, best climber Daniel Oss (BMC) and best youngster Julian Alaphilippe.
