Slovakia's Peter Sagan won the 2015 Tour of California, completing eight days of racing with a dramatic third-place finish in the final stage on Sunday.

Sagan (Tinkoff-Saxo) won by just three seconds from overnight leader Julian Alaphilippe (Etixx), who grabbed the yellow jersey by winning Saturday's gruelling seventh stage that finished on the upper slopes of Mount Baldy.

Briton Mark Cavendish (Etixx) won the eighth stage from Los Angeles to Pasadena in a sprint with a time of two hours, 14 minutes, 55 seconds. It was Cavendish's fourth stage win since last Sunday.
