Peter Sagan wins Swiss Tour stage 6. Photo Jean-Christophe Bott - Keystone

The Race: Three days after winning stage 3, Peter Sagan has done it again. According to l'Equipe, over his career, Sagan has won 11 Tour of Switzerland stages, joining those two Swiss immortals Hugo Koblet and Ferdi Kübler.

A four-man break gained as much as four minutes, but was chased down by the sprinters' teams and was caught with 1.5 kilometers left to race. Then the superbly conditioned Sagan took the stage, overpowering the field, as you can see in the video below.

Thibaut Pinot retained the overall leadership, but gave up five seconds to second-place Geraint Thomas.
