Giro Di Sardegna 22nd to 26th Feb

[hrotha]

Serpa better than Bennati.

 

[The Hitch]

story about 30% last 100 m must have been an exageration if Sagan lost nothing and has overall.

 

[taiwan]

I guess Sagan Serpa Cunego for the GC.

 

[TourOfSardinia]

GC

1) Peter Sagan (Liquigas Cannondale) in 22h28'24",
2) José Serpa Perez (Androni Giocattoli) a 3",
3) Damiano Cunego (Lampre Isd) a 7"

Day 5

1) Michele Scarponi (Lampre Isd) 4h24'40" alla media di 39,446 km/h,
2) José Serpa Perez (Androni Giocattoli) a 3",
3) Damiano Cunego (Lampre Isd) a 8",
4) Peter Sagan (Liquigas Cannondale),
5) Emanuele Sella (Androni Giocattoli),
6) Robert Kiserlovski (Astana),
7) Stefano Pirazzi (Colnago Csf Inox),
8) Ben Hermans (Team Radioshack),
9) Pavel Brutt (Katusha Team),
10) Eros Capecchi (Liquigas Cannondale)

so Cunego pipped Sagan for bonus

[Mellow Velo]

What a cracking race it was to watch, too. 4 uphill finishes in the 500-700m range.
Yesterday's was a mini epic. Scarponi and Serpa attacking Sagan, who held onto the overall by the skin of his teeth.
The last climb was about 4 and a half kms long at a fairly steady gradient, around the 7% mark, I'm guessing.
It even topped off with 200 metres of Strade Bianche!
More like this, please.
(Classica Sardinia rounds it off, tonight.)

Clearly Sagan is still suffering on longer climbs

Thank god. Else it would get really boring.

 

[El Pistolero]

So was Gesink at this point of his career. And he has the potential of winning a GT now.

Anything can happen, but I think Sagan cares more for the classics than high placings in a GT.

While I think a lot of riders would like to be as "bad" as Sagan on the longer climbs, Gesink was pacing Evans up the Mont Ventoux at this point in his career, so that one doesn't fly

DT was being sarcastic

As long as Sagan weighs 73 Kgs I wouldn't be comparing his development to Gesink.

This point of his career would be Gesink's second season as a pro. The start of it

 

[El Pistolero]

As long as Sagan weighs 73 Kgs I wouldn't be comparing his development to Gesink.

Hence I said he cares more for classics than GT right now. But who is to say he can't drop weight and turn into a real climber?

Contador started as a time trial specialist and look now.

And the fact that Sagan can climb this well despite his age and weight further proves my point anyway.

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

more like steep climbs

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

gesink is 3 kg lighter?

 

[hrotha]

This point of his career would be Gesink's second season as a pro. The start of it

Gesink's second season as a pro, properly speaking, was 2008.
