Peter Sagan: "I'm very surprised"

“I'm very surprised I won. I thought there were still two guys in the front. Only at the very end I realized we were sprinting for victory. I'm very happy to be first. My team today very did a big job. Roman Kreuziger helped me a lot in the last climb. It's unbelievable. He rode 500 meters flat out. Julian Alaphilippe was very close to me at the end but I beat him. I'm in yellow first time. It's a very nice jersey. This is something special for sure. Compared to last year's Tour de France, I haven't changed. I'm just happy with what I've achieved since [world champion and Tour of Flanders winner]. In big races, experience counts. I do a lot of sacrifices to come to the Tour de France in good form but it's never easy to win even if it looks easy sometimes.”
