We’re not quite sure how it happened, but the two-time world champion somehow found himself on the wrong side of a high metal fence.

For some reason emerging from the bushes, Sagan makes light work of the task, but must have been glad that he was doing it in trainers rather than cycling shoes.

Thankfully there were no more obstacles to overcome on his way to the podium, where Sagan received the black jersey, finishing 12 points clear of BMC Racing’s Damiano Caruso.
