Le Tour 2018 stage 13: Bourg d'Oisans > Valence 169,5 km

[spalco]

Sagan will have won 15 green jerseys by the time he retires.

 

[Vino's Mum]

Saggles possibly in with a shout of winning the points competition now.

 

[sir fly]

Thought Kristoff had it, but...
Congrats to Sagan, nevertheless.

 

[glassmoon]

Kristoff kinda stupid for not looking where the line is... he could've thrown his bike for the 1st place probably.

He always does that, remember stage 16 in 2016, but he wouldn't have won today anyway.

 

[Scarponi]

Got all of my other match ups right, last one was richize vs Laporte. Don't even think Richize was in the front group . Going to cost me heaps

 

[Laplaz]

Thank god we still have Sagan in this race.

Re:

Exactly my thoughts. He made the same mistake to Sagan in the Tour stage to Switzerland (Bern?) in 2016, where he lost after a photo finish, because Sagan threw his bike, whereas Kristoff didn't. One would think, that he learnt from that..

How many stages is Sagan off Merxkc

Re:

20+ or something?

He's unlikely to even reach Cav.

and the same in Bergen

"throwing your bike" at the end of a stage isn't that easy and you also have to time it right .... but glad Sagan won this .... the next two stages are perhaps GvA and Gilbert territory ....

Re:

way too many, to even dream of getting there .... (think Merckx has 34 and Sagan 11 now) ....

 

[DNP-Old]

Egan at 2:08.

 

[SeriousSam]

Does Sagan hold the record for most Tour stage podiums?

it depends which statistics he meant. In total Sagan is way too far from Merckx. But he's only 1 win from Merckx in raindbow jersey. He could actually beat that this year already.

He can match with him in stages won as a world champion.

He gotta be pretty high on the list if you add 1st, 2nd and 3rd together though

 

[loge1884]

provided he get's to Paris, Sagan could secure the green jersey after two weeks (he'll need to be 281 points ahead of the second) ... not sure that has ever been the case
however I hope, he'll take little care about the intermediate sprints from now on and concentrate on winning more stages (one or two seem quite possible) - of course the biggest thing would be to win on the Champs for the first time ...

 

[SeriousSam]

Only these:

MERCKX Eddy (63)
LEDUCQ André (57)
ZABEL Erik (53)
FRANTZ Nicolas (50)
HINAULT Bernard (46)
KELLY Sean (43)

Have more Tour podiums than Sagan (42)

Re:

When you count podium placings, its getting quite close.

Eddie has 67 podiums (not counting prologues, but counting many ITT).
Sagan has already 43 podiums.

Not so far away, considering his consistence

I think it is 40 or 41 now.

Its much easier to throw your bike when youre not riding it.
