well, twice I have said that sagan should be able to make it, twice, he has failed, now I kept my mouth shut and it paid off

I hope he can keep his form up to the worlds. They way I see it, Horner will have a big chance, but Sagan and Cancellara will follow. But I still consider these two as underdogs, the amount of climbing is tremendous in the worlds. Let's hope it will be at least as good show as was tonight

I think Sagan will get marked out in the worlds. He'll be immensely strong, but he's simply too big of a favourite. There's no way he can do what he did today and guys like Cancellara and Nibali will really make him suffer with repeated attacks.

Meh, still wonder if Gesink didn't do that attack on the flat. But yeah, Sagan looked pretty much indestructable on the 2nd hill

The chase was crap, everyone was afraid of wasting energies and eventually loose. Sagan was pretty destructible in second hill (The University right?), the chase failed.

I was quite pesimistic few hours before the race but than I saw his Slovak interview on his page and I realize he is not so bad.;).

I think he can play only one card. Either he can stay on Cance wheel or not.
The WC is not his race to lose it is his race to win.

Anyway, thoughts on Gesink, rediscovered his climbing legs finally? Or juist the anual Americas form he never has in europe for some reason?
Probably the latter...but one can always hope.

He didn't look too impressive on the flat today though, my guess is that he has tried a similar training program to the one Nordhaug and Mollema did ahead of TDF, i.e alot of focus on explosiveness.
