On Italian TV they are discussing the fact that Sagan can be competitive for WC in Innsbruck

No, but I for sure would like to see him target LBL some day

he ruled out trying to add monuments Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Il Lombardia to his palmarès.

“I’m almost 80 kilograms,” he said. “Don’t believe those that say 73-74, my in form weight varies between 78 and 79. How can I win those races?”

In any case he's already tried to focus on improving climbing in 2014-2015. It did not go well

Cool.

Does not mean he might reconsider some day, especially when he can prove to himself like today that he for sure can be up there in these type of stages which been very hard with a lot of ups and down. AGR from this year he was 4th also.

Again, he already tried.

His coach Patxi Vila talked about that. He does not have the physical potential to improve his climbing much, so when he lost 7kg in 2014-2015 his climbing only got a tiny bit better and his power on the flat suffered considerably. He won a weak Tour of California but Tinkov was otherwise calling him out for having worse results than before

 

[Rollthedice]

At last Landani.

 

[dgodave]

going too hard for an attack.... yet not long enough of a climb to grind people off your wheel.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Dumoulin should attack here. This climb suits him well.

 

[Koronin]

Congrats to Fraile.

 

[bob.a.feet]

Go on Landa

 

[bigcog]

Hmm wonder if Froome is going to have go ..

 

[Rollthedice]

Come on Rogla!

 

[spalco]

Froome looks especially *** again right now - attack coming soon.

 

[woodburn]

Dumoulin looks bad.
