Let's Press On
All five of the big name sprinters came out to play at the intermediate sprint point of Stage 4. After Andre Greipel (Lotto Soudal) took the sprint points, strengthening his hold on the Maillot Vert, Peter Sagan (Tinkoff Saxo) suggested that Greipel, Mark Cavendish (Etixx-Quickstep), John Degenkolb (Giant Alpecin) and Bryan Coquard (Europcar - not pictured) should press on with the gap that they had gained on the peloton. After Greipel laughed the group sat up to wait for the peloton to catch them up. I am sure that Sagan wasn't serious.
