2013 Tour of California: Stage 1: Escondido - Escondido (165 km)

[Geraint Too Fast]

How will Sagan celebrate?

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Forget Sagan, this man carries no shackles and is ready to resume the winning feeling:

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Maybe Sagan is tired/not in shape and Matthews can do something?

 

[maltiv]

Yawning of boredom over the finish line? He has no competition here...

 

[SKSemtex]

Sagan loves to win and he is hungry to win. Only mechanical or flat in last 3 km can stop him today.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Has Sagan written all over it
Is there a pure sprinter in the starting field who could survive the mountain and challenge Sagan?

Hushovd if his ageing has reversed and he's 32 again

Meersman was looking good before in Turkey, no dobut he can at least push Sagan here after I dont see anyone else.

 

[Parel van het Zuiden]

Sagan, Meersman, Matthews and Gilbert will fight for the win, I guess. Sagan is of course the biggest favourite.

Meersman was looking good before in Turkey, no dobut he can at least push Sagan here after I dont see anyone else.

If Matthews hasn't forgotten how to sprint from so many years of bad teams wasting his talent, he's a better sprinter, climber and puncheur than Meersman
