Peter Sagan (Bora-Hansgrohe) found solace and some kind of satisfaction in a familiar place after stage 3 through the champagne vines of the Tour de France, with a return to the podium to pull on the green points jersey, cancelling any disappointment about finishing fifth behind a dominant Julian Alaphilippe (Deceuninck-QuickStep).
