Peter Sagan won yesterday’s seventh stage of the Tour de France into Albi, just about seeing off the challenge of fellow fast-men John Degenkolb (Argos-Shimano) and Daniele Bennati (Team Saxo-Tinkoff) after the 205-kilometre trek from Montpellier.

The latest bout in the battle for the Tour de France leader’s yellow jersey ended in a stalemate in the Pyrenees today.
