Peter Sagan sprinted to his first grand tour stage win in over two years on Monday in Málaga, Spain. The Slovak star of the Tinkoff-Saxo outfit had a hat-trick of stage victories in the 2011 Vuelta a España. In stage 3 of this year’s race, he hopped aboard the tail of the Giant-Alpecin sprint train and bested John Degenkolb at the line.
“I was trying for victory for the team, and I’m happy I did it,” said Sagan. “It’s a very nice day. I think we did a better job today. We had to win today.”

The early breakaway was six riders strong: Walter Fernando Pedraza Morales (Colombia), Ilia Koshevoy (Lampre-Merida), Natnael Berhane (MTN-Qhubeka), Omar Fraile (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), Maarten Tjallingii (LottoNL-Jumbo), Martin Velits (Etixx-Quick-Step), Sylvain Chavanel (IAM Cycling), Alexis Gougeard (Ag2r La Mondiale). Eventually, Gougeard and Tjallingii were the only survivors of the move, but they were caught with a little under 15 kilometers left.
Although the day included a category 3 and category 1 climb early in the race, it was destined to be a bunch sprint.
Giant-Alpecin took control into the final kilometer of the stage. Sagan sat comfortably fourth wheel. Degenkolb made his jump to the left side and Sagan went to the right as the final lead-out man fizzled. Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis) closed fast on the far right side, but it was too late, although the Frenchman managed to secure second place, ahead of Degenkolb.
On Tuesday, the Vuelta could favor Sagan again, as it is a mostly flat, 209.6-kilometer trip from Estepona to Vejer de la Frontera that finishes with a couple punchy climbs in the last five kilometers. Orica-GreenEdge’s Esteban Chaves will keep the red leader’s jersey for another day after finishing in the bunch Monday.
“I’m really, really excited; I’m really happy,” said Chaves. “Today is one day, and tomorrow try again, no? It’s a really good feeling, but it’s a scare at the same time,” he said about wearing the leader’s jersey.
