This break is pretty smart for Tinkoff if they ride to protect Alberto. Majka is free not to work, while it takes the stage win impetus out of the main contenders. Basso is directing out of the car today, and he's a smart guy. Plus get Sagan out of the jersey so Oleg will go away.

I don't quite understand Oleg's obsession of yellow jersey on Sagan. It's a temporary glory. And there, he got a guy who can actually has a better chance to get the jersey for good, still he decided to bring oscar gato instead of hansen to help with that. :surprised:

This is Oleg Tinkoff. Temporary glory is one of his 2 great passions. Short-lived attention is the other

It's Oleg. The same guy who fired Riis, Julich, etc... Two of the brighter minds in training, motivation. He probably thinks he could develop Sagan into a Tour winner himself.
