I'm happy to have won. Big thanks to the whole team, without them it wouldn't have happened”, said Sagan to his team's press office, have he had won the sprint on a reduced stage.
"The tempo was high, Rafal Majka did a great job on the last hill and he held the group together for the sprint finish. Then it was my turn to launch and I'm happy to have won.
"It was also difficult because the last curve seemed to be a left one so I went left. But it was to the right so I had to change my course. Big thanks to the whole team, without them it wouldn't have happened.
"I'm pleased we have the first victory at Tour de Suisse.
"I'm very happy with how the stage went and the work by the entire squad. Today's stage was difficult and on top of that it also rained. One group broke away with a lead of 6 minutes.
"Our team was leading out front on the last 40km and just before the last two hills the gap was only 2 minutes.
"They pulled very hard during the stage and Rafal Majka helped me a lot during the last two climbs. I can say that we won thanks to the teamwork we showed.
"I'm very happy with this victory but tomorrow is another day and we will see what happens”.
