Tour de France 2016 Stage 16: Sagan times it perfectly for number three and Froome keeps Yellow


Stage 16 of the 2016 Tour de France was a tale of two parts.

Part one was the massive move by Tony Martin and Alaphilippe, both of Etixx Quick Step. Such was the big German's time trial power that for most of the stage it took all of the young Frenchman's effort just to hold the wheel.

Part two was the steep cobbled climb that lead to the final kilometer. The home town finish for Spartacus meant that he tried to neutralize the sprinters' kick with a power move on the climb. Unfortunately for him, he managed to pull Kristoff and Sagan with him.
