June 18, 2015 (Biel, Switzerland) – Peter Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) clinched his second win of the 2015 Tour de Suisse, comfortably sprinting to victory on Stage 6 from Wil to Biel, 193km, ahead of Jurgen Roelandts (Lotto-Soudal) and Alexander Kristoff (Katusha).
Mark Cavendish, whose Etixx-QuickStep team had done a fair amount of work to bring things back together for the sprint, appeared to lose his lead-out going into that crucial corner and finished down in sixth.
Thibaut Pinot finished safely in the main group to hang onto the yellow jersey, but second-placed Geraint Thomas managed to trim five seconds off the Frenchman’s overall lead by making a small group with Cavendish. His deficit is now down to 42 seconds to Pinot.
