Jan Bárta

It didn’t take a photo finish to determine that Jan Bárta of Bora-Argon 18 is the new general classification Point d’Appui after stage 16 of the 2016 Tour de France. He goes into Tuesday’s rest day more than a minute behind Thomas Voekler of Direct Energie and just about a minute ahead of Alexey Lutsenko of Astana Pro Team.

Tony Gallopin, the GC leader after Stage 15, fell back 10 spots on the hot, fast 206 kilometer stage from Moirans-en-Montagne across the Swiss border to finish in Berne.

Bárta has won the Czech National Time Trial Championships the last four years and also picked up the Czech National Road Race Championship in 2012. This is his third time in the Tour de France. He finished 71st in 2014 and 25th in 2015.

Peter Sagan of Tinkoff won his third stage of this year’s Tour de France, nipping Alexander Kristoff by just a few millimeters. Chris Froome of Team Sky remains the GC leader of the race, and Sam Bennett of Bora-Argon 18 holding the Lanterne Rouge.
