Peter Sagan reaches sweet 16 at Tour de Suisse

In the seven years that bookend Peter Sagan's 16 stage wins at the Tour de Suisse, the current World champion has achieved cult-like status. In 2011, when he caught and then beat the hapless Damiano Cunego on the road to Grindelwald to take stage 3 of the race, the hair was a little shorter, the kit a little more fluorescent, but the on-bike swagger that has epitomised his career was already evident.
