A greater leap than saying that if Chavanel sat up the break wouldn't have had a chance to make it last week and would certainly have been swallowed by the péloton, and that then Cavendish would absolutely certainly have won the sprint from said péloton? Not sure. Definite leaps of faith required there. All kinds of issues can be created on a run-in like at Sanremo. Especially if an attack group gets caught on a descent and drops like a bowling ball through the remains of the bunch.

If Pisti's argument that it wasn't certain Cavendish would have won was weak, then your indirect argument that Chavanel cost Cavendish the win by not sitting up and letting Stannard go on the Poggio is at least equally weak.

Go and read what he wrote.

If you want to interpret certainty in to colloquial language, then Pisti said it was certain Cav would not have won because AK beat him in the sprint.

Which is ***.

Will be great, but still Sagan will be helpless and get destroyed by Cancellara on Kwaremont and Pater.

Be assured, Cancellara can do it on both.:)

No he cant,imo Kwaremont yes,but Paterberg is Sagan's hill,but we'll see.:)Really,really looking forward to Ronde

He's doing a unique celebration, big deal, I don't see why some people don't like that. I personally, don't see anything at all wrong with it. In fact I like unique celebrations.

Well, these people think he's being a show-off.
Just because you have one opinion it does not mean that someone else with a different opinion is wrong.

I mean, there are some people that really like watching Twilight Saga. Lots of people hate it, but these people don't see anything wrong with it...

Yeah, I have my opinion and others have there's. But I still fail to see why those other people find his unique victory salutes so objectionable. If it's just because they don't like him showing off, then I would have to agree with Willbick.

Thing is he's not just celebrating his victory, there's nothing wrong with that - everyone celebrates wins. Sagan is different though, he is celebrating in a way to draw attention to the celebration - no one else does that, and it's definitely going to rub a lot of people up the wrong way.

Doing a Cancellara? Nope, that's not the correct term. I haven't seen this kind of move lately in a classic though. From now on if the best sprinter in a group rides away solo at 5k from the finish it's a 'Sagan'.

Btw noone screwed up here. The strongest rider won today and you know it, you're just saying the break screwed up so you have a counterargument for that. This Sagan-hating is getting pretty pathetic if you ask me. :rolleyes:

More like a Boonen ;)

Screw that. See Ronde 2005.

Sagan did 5 second pulls before his team mate came through and did a proper turn for him :rolleyes:

Well done to Sagan he was handed the win on a silver platter today because the break screwed up just about the same as wheel sucking somebody else to the line really.

Yes he won and people saying he did a Cancellara :rolleyes: bit of a difference doing a 30 - 40k attack then a 2k one. :rolleyes:

Lol, mad bro?
