Peter Sagan was caught up in the crash in the final three kilometers and thus missed out on a chance to sprint...

When I came to the finish I was not scared. What's there to be afraid of? I was just angry. Then one of my team-mates, Sylvester Szmyd, lent me a wheel in order to race again. But it was too late to participate in the sprint.�
