Tour de Suisse 2015 Stage 6: Mighty Sagan sprints to victory
After over 190 kilometres in the saddle it all boils down to a bunch sprint. Cavendish, Kristoff and Sagan are the most likely candidates, but it is the latter who wins and takes his 11th stage win in Switzerland ever. Thomas takes some seconds from Pinot, who retains the overall lead. (Slideshow route/profile)
