BERN, Switzerland -- Peter Sagan can win practically any way he chooses: Breakaways, sprints, fearless downhill attacks, and now a bike throw at the line.The world champion from Slovakia showed off his all-around qualities by perfectly timing a sprint to win the 16th stage of the Tour de France in a photo finish on Monday.Sagan edged Alexander Kristoff of Norway at the line after the race crossed into Switzerland.Kristoff thought he won and pumped his fist in celebration, only to learn seconds later he hadnt.I was lucky I threw my bike, Sagan said.
