Slovakian rider Peter Sagan won the hilly seventh stage of the Tour de France in a sprint finish on Friday, and Daryl Impey kept the overall race lead. 
Sagan held off a challenge from John Degenkolb of Germany to clinch his first stage victory in this year's Tour and extend his lead in the contest for the sprinters' green jersey. Italian sprinter Daniele Bennati was third. Sagan's stage win moves him 94 points clear of German Andre Greipel and he is already more than 100 points ahead of his archrival Mark Cavendish — the 2011 green jersey winner — who was left behind and could not even challenge for the stage win.
