Can Sagan be destroyed be in the classics?

[Cancellator]

You are tremendously underrating Boonen. He has done a flanders - paris roubaix twice, and one of those times was just last year. As strong as Canc is, he has to be strong enough to shake Boonen. Boonen doesn't have to shake Canc with the sprint he has.

I did make it clear that I'm not rating him as high this year because of his current form. He had some scary health issues recently (with the arm and all), and in the warmup races he hasn't truly impressed, while also crashing, which, even if you're not seriously hurt, is still an annoying setback. He's obviously still good, but not at *that* level right now.

The only one who can Sagan can be destroyed be by be by is be Cancellara.

As evident in E3. He couldnt follow cancellara's pace.

Look closely at the thread title.

Last time i checked in the only real classic raced so far this season, Sagan was destoyed by a rider from a semi proffesional African team.

You mean he was dropped on the Oude kwaremont by a rider from a USA-based team? Because I haven't seen any destroying in MSR, just a very close call in the sprint.

Your definition of "destroyed" clearly differs greatly from my own.

I think 'outfoxed' is the word you were looking for.

Anyway, Dekker_T's thread to bait Miburo is getting quite the response. Of course Sagan can be destroyed in the classics, by the best cobbles rider on the planet: Cancellara.

 

[Flamin]

Absolutely true.
They were amazing in Harelbeke, almost dropping the entire peloton behind them.

You could also ask yourself why they had to sacrifice their entire team so early in the first place.

And 160km ≠ 260km, obviously.

Sagan beat himself on that race, nothing to do with a small African team. Btw, was the rider who won German by any chance?

good luck beating gaudin in roubaix, peter!

 

[Roderick]

I think Sagan already started crying this morning by the thought of getting his *** kicked so hard by Cance in de Ronde and by Phil in AGR and LbL

 

[Lexman]

good luck beating gaudin in roubaix, peter!

and Turgot !

 

[jens_attacks]

and Turgot !

bernaudeau already warned the world that gaudin in roubaix will be extraordinary strong. that race is made for him gotta say, the guy is huuge. him and stannard have good chances against cancellara

Canc and Phil are crying themselves of the possibility of getting their butts kicked by a 23 year old.

I wanna see this,Phil is very bad this season,he may win LBL(but dont think so) but Amstel...

 

[Afrank]

Amstel is probably the race he has the best shot at winning. The Cauberg is his type of hill, having gone away and winning on it 3 times.

And his form isn't that bad this year, sure he hasn't been able to get a win yet. But he has been active in races, attacking, and steadily building his form. And he hasn't had any serious problems like illness or injury disrupt his training. I think he will be in good form by the Ardennes.

 

[Panda Claws]

Judging by 2012 he has more chance to win AGR than he does at LBL.

Yeah, it's not like he won the worlds last september on the Cauberg or something

not against Sagan

there is more flat after cauberg,thats huge difference

The new finish of AGR is exactly where the finish of the worlds was

My fault...however 1,8 km after a hill is enough for Sagan to wint it from sprint imho.

 

[Panda Claws]

I said it before, I deem it unlikely for many riders to come back after the Cauberg because they all have to go all out on it. If you're the strongest on top of it, you're the strongest on the flat after it as well.
