So Sagan saying he has doubts about Qatar was a sign for what's happening right now.

It's unlikely a rider loses that much form in a week. He's probably having a not-so-good-day and still seems like one of the strongest out there.

This is not about form but tiredness.

Then I don't see how that can be a problem for Qatar. Still lots of time to go.

Bo Hagen is salvaging WT points for didata

Maybe 30 points or something like that, good luck with that

Good luck indeed. Even if they got the points needed, I'm afraid that right now it boils down to which team has the [most] big names and more coin.

Don't know. It's not like the two Lotto's have more big names.
But it's almost impossible for Dimension Data to get the points they need, it's not like they're gonna be top-3 in Lombardia.

Of course it can be a problem. You think these guys can go on and on forever? Even more so mentally than physically, many need a proper break.

There's no way he got that much tired here considering how fersh he looked in Plumelec. There's a huge amount of time between the end of Eneco and the WCRR. He'll be good.
