Something big is coming to happen at the front. Without QS present

 

[Velolover2]

Sagan!

Re:

QS shattered. Obligatory QS fail

Like the one last week? How quickly we forget...

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Surely it can't be Naesen in the front group? It must be Vandenbergh, right?

 

[jsem94]

Sagan on the move!

 

[Irondan]

Sagan not screwing around!!!

 

[spalco]

Can't let Sagan go, come on guys.

What are you doing, Quickstep?

 

[DFA123]

Nice move by Sagan. He can't rely on his sprint in this race. Needs to mix it up a bit.

 

[TMP402]

Oss and Sagan! The old gang!

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Sagan lol

 

[Brullnux]

Nice group with Sagan.

Bit of a mix up from BMC? Oss taking turns up front and GVA working behind?

 

[Geraint Too Fast]

2 teammates for Sagan.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Epic. Etixx really on the backfoot

 

[Irondan]

Re:

Sagan has teammates? Is that a new thing?

 

[jsem94]

Stuyven, Oss, Sagan, Bodnar

 

[portugal11]

Sagan has everything to win

 

[Velolover2]

Sagan leading for Bodnar.

That was just PG saving their spring season again... With the power they have they fail way too often.

 

[Brullnux]

Re:

That explains why Oss is working

 

[DFA123]

Re:

Stuyven, Oss, Sagan, Bodnar

Not a great group for Sagan to work with. He'll probaly have to go solo quite far out if he doesn't want to drag two passengers to the line. Won't be too long before Stuyven and Oss are told to stop and wait for their leaders.

Yeah, okay...

 

[Lance Armstrong]

Bodnar is spent and Stuyven not willing to work.

 

[GuyIncognito]

Wow, I leave for 5 mins and Sagan breaks away. Talk about the wrong time.

Re: Re:

Kwiatkowski did what he always does.
Do well early on, reassure everyone that he definitely didn't peak too early this time, then peak too early.

Yeah, winning a monument and a classic is peaking too early.

He specifically said he was aiming for Liege. He did well a month before, now he's losing minutes on climbs and TTs
Yeah that's too early.

By your logic, if I aim for the Tour, win the Dauphine and DNF the Tour I didn't peak early.

No. By my logic, if, as a one day racer, you win a monument and a classic within a couple of weeks of each other, followed by a low key Pais Vasco, you have peaked perfectly.

Strade Bianche isn't a classic.

Puncture for Sagan?
