Strange - the winner looks like a slightly overweight 15-year-old.

Nope, it's real. But you are right that his arm looks fake on that picture.

TT might be called off due to snow.

Please no. We need a good long-ish TT in the race.

Pretty sad that folks who ride and maybe race themselves like saying shitty things about Sagan.

Yes, he's a bit childish sometimes, but he's a character and sports are better with characters than robots who speak in cliches. And yes, not many wins for him this year...but losing to Cav TWICE in a drag race and then 2nd on an uphill finish.

Christ, how can you not at least respect his vast talent? Which other cyclist alive can be there at the end in those 3 stages? Not poking Cavendish, but where did he finish yesterday? 103rd, 21 minutes back. This isn't MMA, just respect his talents or shut up.

This is what I would say to Tinkoff... of course I'm sure Tinkoff pays him a ridiculous amount of money and was hoping for a little more "return on his investment", but it's not like Sagan is not going to dominate again in the future just because he is not winning now... it's sports, you win some, you lose some...

Another Cav day today. Hope the TT goes ahead to make some time gaps before the queen stage.

Crosswinds could be a factor

Sagan could have the edge today, last 200 meters are uphill.

Sagan with a nice win.

Sagan!

Oss almost had it, thhat would have been something. Wippert third.

 

[trevim]

This was old Sagan. No one even close!

 

[Amsterhammer]

Thank you, Lord, for finally delivering Sagan from the depths of second-dom.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Cav is pissed, it looks like.

 

[RedheadDane]

Sagan got a win.

And is still a bloody show-off!
