Re: Re:

Sagan not very optimistic at slovak TV. He is still feeling injuries and is not at 100%

He wasn’t feeling good in Qatar either.

And in Bergen. And in the early stages of this year's Tour. And in Qatar he assured us he definitely told his teammates to sprint instead of him because he felt bad there too.

Pretty convenient how he always has a story to explain how his performance was way more awesome than it looked :lol:

Seen GVA posted a training picture yesterday, they were pretty much in full winter gear...man up GVA it’s the Scottish summer

Think it is a good way to take some pressure off since he is always marked and a favorite... but if he is there in the final then of course he gonna give his all to win.

 

[Valv.Piti]

This looks horrible...

 

[rick james]

When the racing starts and if it stays this wet the racing will be carnage

 

[tomorrow]

God, let the race begin already, the weather and the steep ramps look promising

 

[glassmoon]

Sagan not very comfortable on that rear wheel from neutral assistance.

Rain, punctures... Probably a race where those with least problems will have the most chances.

 

[Lance Armstrong]

More flat tyres than at Paris-Roubaix. Wtf Glasgow.

 

[wirral]

Mechanics with a lot to do today. Not all working efficiently.

 

[rick james]

Slippy cobbles starting to take prisoners

Ah yes, the Scottish summer...... perfect racing conditions.

 

[rick james]

Honestly I’m not telling lies. This is the worst day we’ve had for months. The weather has been good up until today

 

[sir fly]

Rainy, but not that cold. And they're sheltered of the wind in the streets.
Saving energy and materials seems to be order of the day, nevertheless.

Sprinters have it easy usually so the weather will at least spice it up a bit.

 

[King Boonen]

I got a lap in with my club. Two punctures for us, will be loads more. As Rick James says, this is the worse weather we’ve had in ages, will was loads of crap into the streets.

 

[JoeD1997]

The pros must really must believe Glasgow only has rain and no other weather, wet for the Commies, partly wet for National RR a few years back (it did dry up however) and now this. A shame they couldn't race here in June/July when we had weeks of high 20-early 30 degree heat...

 

[glassmoon]

Sagan in the 3rd peloton. Not looking good.
Kristoff there too.

 

[sir fly]

Some tired legs out there... Attritive stuff.

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Is Sagan sick or just tired after the Tour?

Looks like we'll have a new winner. Sagan doesn't look like he cares much.

 

[glassmoon]

Re:

Reportedly both.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

Do not forget Sagan had that hard crash at the end of the TDF. He's probably just not recovered

Little bit of everything.
Injuries, fatigue, lack of training, today's weather...
