Re: Re: "Specialist" - meaning s derived from latin taxonomy where “species” means type or sort as subdivision of “genus” genre - so specialisation basically denotes downward movements in hierarchically ordered levels of things/knowledge, deeper and deeper (and narrower and narrower) areas of...

Can you, as Administrato,r explain me please, why you (somebody) delay my posts - there si written that my posts must be approved - and as a result my posts wait sometime HOURS!!!! - so that is no chance to be part of ongoing disscussion for me - when my post get green to go the topics of...

What?!?! Are you serious? TO "do all work???" If we can say of somebody who of somewhat rotating group is doing "ALL" WORK it was Sagan....so of course he wanted force rest of group (there was not only Valverde and Ala) do SOME work!

Sagan had 0.000 problem to stick with Bala & Ala, he just controlled every hill…..almost without drop of sweat - he was 85% of time in saddle, he looked calm and easy…not wasting energy ....i noticed his technic of pedalling looks very light and smooth this year (almost Landa-smoothish), not so...

Re: Re: O.K. i have just checked couple of legends stats at age of 28 (Rick Van Looy, Roger De Vlaeminck, Johan Museeuw, Sean Kelly, Cancellara, Boonen, Eddy Merckx) and better stats in Sagan’s age had only Vlaeminck, Moser, Kelly and Merckx. ………..but….but…..Merckx stats …. wtf….it is like...

Re: On the contrary - it looks like he clearly is best cyclist of his generation at the moment - i mean at his 28 y age. Please check procyclings stats web (https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider.php?id=140797&c=6&rider1=140797&rider2=140750 )and hit “head to head” comparison and then check “By...

Re: Re: I really do not think that any of QS main trio could be “best man to let go” - to let any of them go is/was huge mistake - only it was not Sagans mistake (i explained my point of view somewhere earlier on this thread). In your post your blueprint of different strategy depend on...

Re: What would have followed if Sagand went with Terpstra was also incredibly predictable ………and to the extend that i find it hard to believe that this line of reasoning is still present in the debate. But maybe you suggest that Oss should be the one to follow Terpstra - if yes - than i agree...

Re: Re: Right - you do not need be a time trialist to drop everyone - to that you need explosive power (in that regard Sagan is a keg of C4)……but you need to pull out decisive timetrial performance to hold the gap you created by attack to the finish line (if we are talking about 13 km...

Thanks guys, for answers, i just have seen Innsbruck profile…….and…..R.I.P This Fermo finish from last year Tirreno is only light version of Gramartboden. Fermo had cca 700 m long ramp with max 22% steep slope - after that was cca 2,7 km relatively flat “recovery” section and after that was...

Re: Re: Hello guys, can somebody compare character of Insbruck route with Firenze route from 2013? Are they any similar/nonsimilar? I am asking because in Firenze he finished 6th with 34 sec loss to Rui Costa, behind such a riders as Valverde and Nibali who for example both had 15 sec loss...

Re: :)) of course it is my fantasy - we are discussing hypothetical alternative scenarios, do’n we? My point was - we do not know, who was the strongest - maybe it was Terpstra, no problem with that. But i thing there could be difference between catching rest of daybreak and catching one of...

Re: I have read couple of statement here and RVV thread and in comment section under the sagan-articles on main page which seems to be adopted as some mantra by antisagan camp of discussion. 1) Sagan should have closed gap to Terpstra in the moment when Terpstra attacked. It was his fault and...
