His team Bora-Hansgrohe had protested against the decision, but race organisers will not allow an appeal. The 27-year-old Slovak elbowed Britain's Cavendish during the sprint finish to stage four in Vittel. Cavendish, 32, crashed into the barriers and later pulled out of the race with a broken shoulder. "I can accept the decision but for sure I do not agree with them, because I think I have done nothing wrong," Sagan said in a statement outside the team hotel. "It is very bad that Mark fell down, it is important he can recover well, I am sorry for that. "As you saw it was a crazy sprint, it was not the first one like that or the last one. I wish that Mark recovers well."
