For the first time since 1989 the \u0160koda Green Jersey is going to Ireland. And for the first time since 2012 Peter Sagan arrived in Paris without it.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-controller-wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">On the top of the world!<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TDF2020?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#TDF2020<\/a><br \/>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GettySport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@GettySport<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I5G4JkfNwv\">pic.twitter.com\/I5G4JkfNwv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Soudal Quick-Step Pro Cycling Team (@soudalquickstep) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/soudalquickstep\/status\/1307741474386333697?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 20, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async data-src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bennett sealed the points classification in the intermediate sprint, which Sagan decided not to take part in. After that they met in a bunch sprint on the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es. The Irishman launched early with about 350 metres left and despite clinging on his wheel, the Slovak was unable to get past. And thus, the 29-year-old Deceuninck \u2013 Quick-Step pro has realised another one of his dreams. He won on the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es. Mads Pedersen, the reigning world champ, finished second, and Peter Sagan crossed the line in third place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI can\u2019t tell you how excited I am,\u201d Bennet told the reports at the finish. \u201cThe green jersey, the Champs-\u00c9lys\u00e9es, the World Championships of sprinting. I never thought I\u2019d ever be able to win this stage. And to do it in green is so special.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In the end, Bennett won with 380 points.
