Colmar (France): Slovak Peter Sagan reserved enough strength in the hills of the Alsace region to win a reduced bunch sprint for his 12th overall Tour de France stage win yesterday.

France's leader Julian Alaphilippe will embark in yellow again on the first real mountain test in the Alsace in France on Stage 6 as the local hero even had a tilt at the stage win with a downhill charge after the final climb.
