Adding to his La Vuelta and Giro wins, he completed the \u2019collection\u2019 yesterday. The victory also catapulted him to second place in the points classification just behind Peter Sagan.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI couldn\u2019t imagine this as a boy,\u201d Viviani said after the stage. \u201cFirst I thought about a Giro win, then I had a Vuelta win and now the Tour de France. It was the only win I was missing, so this was the big goal of the season. I\u2019m really happy, I\u2019m emotional. All the work you do always pays off with one win like that one.

But these two days are amazing for the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Peter Sagan admitted his sprint may have suffered after the efforts he put in the stage the day before. There is one guy, however, who wasn\u2019t in the running at all. Dylan Groenewegen missed out once again. Stage one was a disaster for him and stage four wasn\u2019t much better. Groenewegen might very well be the fastest man in the world, but so far at the Tour, it doesn\u2019t show. Is it his teammates\u2019 mistake? Will he get better?
