Peter Sagan (ITA / Liquigas, winner of the stage, Green Jersey): "I felt better (than Saturday), I managed to win and I'm very happy. I must thank my teammates for helping me to be at the front. The prologue was not a journey for me. I was just happy not to be when I fell off shoes in a corner. Tour of Switzerland (where he had before Cancellara won the prologue), it was different, it was more technical with a climb then a descent. The Tour is a race is different, with the entire audience on the edge of the road and on arrival, the media ahead. I feel that this is not a race like any other. This is more stressful and it feels in the bunch. The speed is much faster, you feel more pressure when nearing the finish. But I'm at the stage of discovery, I will have time to get used. "
A comment from Jean-Francois Bernard:
"After his success granted today, Peter Sagan can be useful to his teammate Vincenzo Nibali for tactical moves in medium or high mountains?
Sagan does it all. It is probably still limited for large scale influx, but it is often useful to set up shots. Nibali is first a very good descender, is a specialist in this kind of effort. Together they could easily go twenty miles. If physiognomy of race or wait arrival found down a descent of cervix, it could also lend a hand. The opportunity to see him go in a early break and serve as a support also exists. However, in high mountains or at summit finishes, Sagan can not follow his leader".
