I hesitated with this title. I didn't want anyone thinking I was dissing Nils Politt's (Bora-Hansgrohe) teammate Peter Sagan. Sagan had not started today's stage due to an aggravated knee injury first damaged in his crash with Caleb Ewan. Now I know why he hasn't been up for the sprints in this Tour. Now back to the amazing effort put in by Politt to win his first stage of the Tour de France. This might be the first stage win for his team as well. This will go a long way to healing the wound of losing Sagan from this Tour (and later this season, losing him from the team).
