Tinkoff team owner Oleg Tinkov watched the finale of the second stage at the 2016 Tour de France with the press in Cherbourg-Octeville, witnessing Peter Sagan's fifth career stage win that saw the world champion move into the yellow jersey for the first time in his career.
Cyclingnews was on hand to capture the emotional moment Sagan crossed the line as Tinkov started to wildly celebrate, waving his crutch in the air, jumping up and down and shouting 'woo,woo,woo' repeatedly. It is the first yellow jersey for Tinkoff during his time as a team manager and completed the grand tour set following the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a Espana victories by Alberto Contador.
While Tinkov was celebrating the yellow jersey for Sagan, it wasn't all good news for the Tinkoff team as Contador crashed for a second straight down and conceded time to his overall rivals.
