"I was lucky not to break a bone," says Peter Sagan

The Slovak Peter Sagan (Bora) won his 6th jersey green Sunday at the end of the 21st stage of the Tour de France. The Slovak world champion equaled the record of Erik Zabel, six-time winner between 1996 and 2001. "I am very proud of my team. They helped me get my wins, and they supported me when I lost, "said Sagan.

Sagan, winner of the 2nd, 5th and 13th stages, dropped to the 17th stage. Arrived 26 minutes from the winner of the day Nairo Quintana, he suffered even more two days later during the 19th stage to Laruns. Dropped from the start of the Col de l'Aspin, he had to fight to arrive on time, 38 minutes after Primoz Roglic, after having lived the "worst day for ten years on a bike"

                        I'm really happy to be there again, in the race, on the Champs-Elysées and in the green jersey
                    "Says the world champion. "
                        I was lucky not to break a bone on my fall. Fortunately it happened quite late in the Tour, so I really only suffered during a very hard mountain stage. I have always tried to think positive, and the good thing is that I am now in Paris. The green jersey is my only chance to finish the Tour on the Champs-Elysées podium
