So he could lose another MSR because Nibali is up the road?whittashau said:A strengthened Cannondale would be the best for him. However, I want to see him at Astana. He won't have things all his own way, but Nibali and him working together could be a joy to watch
I think OPQS already realized that Cav dont have the speed to beat Kittel so they may be looking at other options as Boonen is not getting any younger either.Afrank said:I'm gonna say BMC, I still like the idea of him in that team and how much support he would have there.
A new leader for the classics (or replacement for Boonen maybe) at OPQS would also be cool. But unlikely with Cav there.
Surely if no climbs are taken out then Nibali would attack hard and either get away and perhaps win, or get reeled in and Sagan would then be in a prime position.Netserk said:So he could lose another MSR because Nibali is up the road?
Mr Tinkoff gets what he wantsJancouver said:Best New Team for Sagan?
I voted Trek as I truly believe the best option for him would be Trek. Cancellara would be the ultimate teammate, leadout and mentor and they could deliver many major victories working together.
But split leadership in a bunch of important races, no?Jancouver said:Best New Team for Sagan?

Yep, same brilliant tactic secured Liquigas the win in '12.whittashau said:Surely if no climbs are taken out then Nibali would attack hard and either get away and perhaps win, or get reeled in and Sagan would then be in a prime position.
I have to say I find it painful. He's made one or two bad decisions but that's mainly down to frustration. He's a great talent. It's a pity to watch him have such a crappy season.Eyeballs Out said:It's fun to watch him ride for a relatively weak team. It would be a lot less fun to watch him ride for a team that can just mow down any other challengers
It is a joy to watch Sagan and Nibali riding together but I voted BMC - think he would like it better, have lots of support and it is also fun to watch Oss and Saganwhittashau said:A strengthened Cannondale would be the best for him.

Kind of makes me reconsider my choice of Sky a team of: Sagan, Swift, G, Eisel, Cataldo, Knees, Stannard, Puccio, Wiggins would potentially make certain classics and the points jersey at the giro a lot less fun.Eyeballs Out said:It's fun to watch him ride for a relatively weak team.

It's the depth that is the issue as there may be a personality clash or 7 though. Boonen, Terpstra, Meersman, Trentin, Cavendish, Kwiatkowski, and Bakelants all of them will be questioning their role in the team, but I'm sure everyone else would love to have him.Fight.The.Power said:Voted OPQS as I think Sagan could achieve so much more in the classics and OPQS is the team with the know how and depth to do it.
