Jspear said:Sagan for the win.
Eyeballs Out said:In theory the break should go but we'll probably see Giant and Lotto (!!) chase for Sagan again

This. No way they'll allow Sagan to make a break and pick up those intermediate sprint points.

i think, that he wanted to say that giant and lotto will chase the break and then sagan will drop greipel and degenkolb in the finish, not that they would chase sagan in the break.
In 2013, Sagan's Cannondale managed to drop some of the top sprinters on a climb (for instance Cav, Kittel and Greipel who had all won stages earlier in that tour!). Cannondale pulled all the way to the finish from more than 100 km out, and those sprinters never closed the gap.search said:as far as I can remember he won all his four stages in some kind of bunch sprint?!
