Sagan retains world road race title

Peter Sagan retained his world road race title in an exciting sprint finish in Doha on Sunday, edging Britain's Mark Cavendish into second. Slovakian Sagan, who also won in Richmond, USA, last year, said the result was "unbelievable".
"I am still in total shock, I am very, very happy," said the 26-year-old. He is the first rider to retain the road race world title since Italy's Paolo Bettini in Germany in 2007.
Belgium's Tom Boonen finished third, which meant for the first time in the history of the event all three cyclists on the podium were former champions - Cavendish won in 2011 and Boonen in 2005.
