The 27-year-old timed his sprint to perfection to take the title ahead of Norway’s Alexander Kristoff.
The Slovakian joins an elite band of riders – Alfredo Binda, Rik Van Steenbergen, Eddy Merckx and Óscar Freire – to have won the race on three occasions.
Social media was awash with praise for the three-time rainbow jersey winner.
Incredible. Sagan. What a legend.

Let’s face it, Sagan is the best World Champion we’ve ever had. Cycling fans will be happy to have him in the stripes for another year.

Seeing Peter Sagan without the rainbow stripes will be weird. When it happens. Great third Worlds title. Brilliant. #Bergen17
