Once again Peter Sagan was among the top finishers, as he grabbed 2nd place in the uphill finale. He launched his sprint in a reduced front group with 200 meters to go and gained enough points to snatch the points jersey. He’s now in 2nd place, tied on time for the leader’s jersey. However, the race heads into the high mountains tomorrow, where it will be Majka’s turn to come to the fore.
 
After the stage in Tour de Suisse, Peter Sagan says that he had started the sprint a bit too early.
 
“It was quite challenging today, the stage was 193 km long. The first hill was quite good, but the final circuit was harder than we expected. My teammates did a good job. I messed up the finish myself, because I started sprinting too early and then Matthews got ahead of me. I blame myself, I made a mistake, but such is the sport. We'll see what happens in the next stages."

Sports Director Sean Yates explains that it came down to the bonus seconds on stage 4.
 
"Today was really a matter of bonus seconds in the intermediate sprints. Second time around, Tom Dumoulin took 3 seconds, Matti Breschel was second and Peter was fourth and then second in the last bonus sprint, which meant that he had to win the stage to grab the yellow jersey. Of course it was a balancing act because we wanted to focus on the final sprint and the stage win. And as we saw, Peter was among the strongest again but Matthews just managed to overtake him on the last 100 flat meters and he finished second. The boys made a good effort and Peter was up there again”, says Sean Yates and adds about tomorrow’s stage in the high mountains.
 
“Now we have a day, where it’s time for Rafal Majka to test his shape and we’ll see how it goes. As we said before the race, his first objective is to build shape for Tour de France but if he’s going well, we’ll of course not let a good chance go to waste”.
