Re: Re:
That was after the fact though, but in that sense yes Sagan failed to shed the two anchors he's riding with.Forever The Best said:It looked to me like Sagan tried to make Terpstra work when he didn't do it he attacked himself, trying to leave Terpstra in the dust and trying to catch the duo. But he failed.Sorped said:Irondan said:Sagan didn't fail, he can't be the only rider to close every gap when people attack. That's what teams have been used to and he obviously has had enough of that nonsense.Forever The Best said:What a fail by Quick Step...
Also Sagan failed really hard
Bingo. They have to realize he won't always drag them home. That would also force teams in the situation QS was in to try and make something of it rather than wait and wait.

Sagan teaching the whole peloton a lesson thay will pay him back massively long-term... maybe already in De Ronde

Re:
He probably thinks he can win the sprint whether it comes back together or not - as long as he makes Sagan and Keukeleire work really hard. He can still put out a good sprint after hard efforts - the other two perhaps not so much. So the harder the race the better for him I guess.WheelofGear said:

Why didn't Quick-Step play the bunch sprint card?
They had the numbers!!!
They are always playing the "I can't work because I have somebody at the front or at the back"
LOL.

Re: Re:
Or, the other way round, in a similar situation in RVV it's more of a gamble to bluff. And maybe he decides that he has to close down every gap himself.tukabel said:Sorped said:Irondan said:Sagan didn't fail, he can't be the only rider to close every gap when people attack.

The Danish commentator on Eurosport is clueless: "It looks like Van Avermaet is crushing his young opponent. Also mentally."
