Tour de France - Interview Peter Sagan: No one wants to see accidents

Wed, 04 Jul 18:00:15 2012

Today it was very difficult to win because it was also a crash and it was very dangerous. These sprints in the Tour de France create a very nervous group. All the riders want to be in the front group and it's very stressful but I'm happy that I didn't crash today. I feel good because I stayed upright and I got some points for the green jersey; I'm good. I didn't see the crash. I was nearby because it was on my left side and all the riders came pushing in to me and I was lucky to stay up. For now it's been a very good Tour for me but also I hope and I'll try to get the green jersey all the way to Paris. I'm not at all happy when someone crashes. I can crash and it's not very good. I don't anyone to be in a fall and that's normal no one wants to see accidents happen. I'm not sure if I can win a sprint like this in the future. Each sprint is different from the last. Today Greipel had a very good team and a very good lead-out train for the last two kilometers. My team-mate Daniel Oss crashed today and that was a great shame because he helps get me to the front and I missed him.
