He took a peak there in last kilometre to see if he could sneek in next to barriers but he would surely have clipped the barriers feet. Glad he chose not too. Go Sagan!

"I think cobblestone races are made for Classics. For a Classic you can chose to ride over the stones, but if you participate in the Tour de France you don’t volunteer to take the cobblestones... It’s just the organisation that puts the cobblestones in and you have to survive it. If you see that Chris Froome is out because of that stage, I don’t think that we can be happy about that."

Still a few flat stages for him to get one.

 

Saturday and Sunday are classified as 'hilly' stages. Might just be the type of stage that suits Sagan. Monday we go to real mountain before the rest day.

Froome didn't make it to the cobbles
