Peter Sagan from Slovakia and team (Bora-hansgrohe) has pulled out of the Tour de France.

He has been suffering from a knee injury after his bunch sprint crash on stage three with Caleb Ewan. Sagan last Tour stage win was on stage five (Saint-Dié-des-Vosges to Colmar) in 2019. He is the 29th rider of the 184 who started to abandon the 2021 Tour de France.

Sagan was quoted saying "I had hoped that after eight days (after the crash) it would be better but two days ago in the sprint I bumped my knee against the frame again and yesterday I couldn’t move the leg anymore. I am disappointed because I survived these eight days and it’s never easy to leave the Tour de France. I also feel sorry for the team because it’s an important day for the general classification with Wilco Kelderman. "

#NilsPolitt #treadwornjourneys #tdf2021

Nils Politt from Germany and team (Bora-Hansgrohe) wins the twelfth stage. He takes his first win of the year.

Politt was quoted saying "It's unbelievable. It's a dream to win a stage in the Tour de France. Today on the start we had to decide that Peter because of his knee problems had to leave the race so it changed a little bit the tactic. Directly after the start there was the cross winds. In the end it was a little bit bigger group. I feel already well in the last days and I was trying to give my best today. There was quite a lot of sprinters in our group. I know that I have to do the race hard, I have to attack also quite early. I did the first attack then we were with four guys. The sport director tells me it's the last ramp before the finish and give everything to try it. I did it again, I attacked and it was coming, the seconds - 20 seconds, 30 seconds, and then becoming solo to the finish is unbelievable. All the effort, what I have done now - it's my passion, cycling, for my whole family. It's the biggest win you can have, a stage in the Tour."

Imanol Erviti (Movistar Team) and Harry Sweeny (Lotto Soudal) were second and third.
