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. I was certain I would finish second. ... Alexander made his jump very late on the line.Chris Froome held on to the yellow jersey after a relatively calm day for the overall leader before the races second and final rest day.Froome got animated when he was asked about Sagan.Phenomenal rider, Froome said of the long-haired rider with the Tinkoff team. Most people in the peloton are scared of him, just his abilities. He can do everything. He chooses when he wants to go in the breakaway, how he wants to ride the finish.Froome profited from Sagans abilities by following him into a breakaway in Stage 11 to gain time on all of the other overall contenders.I was just surprised he didnt attack on that last climb and ride away today but he still managed to win the stage, Froome added.The rolling 209-kilometer (130-mile) stage from Moirans-en-Montagne to the Swiss capital of Bern resembled the route of a single-day classic, with a section on cobblestones before a slight uphill finish.Sagan is a specialist at stages like this, which exalt his unique blend of characteristics: Hes a punchy rider able to ride strong over short climbs, leave rivals behind on daredevil descents, and a top sprinter.It was Sagans third stage win in this Tour and the seventh of his career.Sondre Enger, another Norwegian, crossed third.Sagan was greeted at the finish by a large contingent of fans waving Slovakia flags.For two years I did not win anything at the Tour, and now Im winning again, Sagan said. Thats life.Sagan also won Stage 2, which followed a similar course, in a sprint. And he took the world title with a late breakaway in the U.S. last year.Froome kept his 1-minute, 47-second lead over Dutch rider Bauke Mollema, with Britains Adam Yates in third, 2:45 back.The race resumes on Wednesday with four punishing stages of climbing in the Alps before Sundays mostly ceremonial finish in Paris.Aiming to secure his third title in four years, Froome rejected talk that he had already sealed victory.Other teams have said theyre going to attack this week in the Alps and I expect they will, Froome said. To say the Tour is won and I dont have any rivals, thats rubbish. A lot can happen in four days in the mountains. All you need is one bad day in the mountains and you can lose minutes.There was a minute of silence at the start of the stage to pay tribute to the 84 victims of the truck attack in Nice. It was the third of three days of national mourning in France following the Bastille Day attack.A big black banner hanging from a bridge leading into Bern read, Solidarity with Nice.The peloton crossed into Switzerland midway through the leg, riding through lush, green valleys with views of snow-capped mountains before crossing through the medieval center of Bern, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.Etixx-Quickstep teammates Julian Alaphilippe and Tony Martin, a three-time time trial world champion, got in an early breakaway and established a lead of more than five minutes on the peloton before being reeled in with slightly more than 20 kilometers to go.Former world champion Rui Costa then launched a solo attack but Sagan preferred to wait until the Portuguese rider was caught, and take his chances in the bunch sprint.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampfAndrija Novakovich USA Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU.

Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious.Callum Ferguson will captain a South Australia squad lacking experience during this years Matador Cup. The Redbacks lost the final to New South Wales last year but this year will be without several key players - captain Travis Head, legspinner Adam Zampa, and fast bowlers Daniel Worrall and Joe Mennie - who are part of Australias ODI squad in South Africa.As a result, South Australias 14-man group for the one-day campaign includes five uncapped players. Fast bowler Wes Agar, the brother of Australia spinner Ashton Agar, is a chance to make his debut for the Redbacks having signed a rookie contract with them this year, while there could also be one-day debuts for Jake Weatherald, Michael Cormack, Cameron Valente and Nick Benton.The only players with significant one-day experience in the South Australia squad are Ferguson, Tom Cooper, Kane Richardson, Alex Ross and Tim Ludeman. The tournament will mark the return to cricket for Fergusson after he suffered a serious knee injury in December.dddddddddddd Remarkably, he has only captained South Australia once before - in a solitary one-day game in 2007.The team loses significant experience due to four Australian players being absent and we will look to Callum and other senior players to lead the way on and off the ground, South Australias general manager of high performance Tim Nielsen, said. We couldnt be more pleased about having our players represent Australia, and its a huge opportunity for our squad to compete hard and continue their development from last season.South Australia squad Callum Ferguson (capt), Wes Agar, Tom Andrews, Nick Benton, Alex Carey, Tom Cooper, Michael Cormack, Alex Gregory, Jake Lehmann, Tim Ludeman, Kane Richardson, Alex Ross, Cameron Valente, Jake Weatherald.
