Peter loves the Tour of California. He enjoys racing over here and he wants to be at that race. Plus he's a huge draw for it as well, so I'm sure the organizers want him over here as well. Since he always wanted to come race it before it was a WT race, there is no reason for him to miss it now that it is a WT race.

Re:
California is vacation for Sagan. He doesn't take it very serious (except the one time he won the GC), but he can easily win a couple of stages there because the field isn't very good. It's a win-win situation for him.Koronin said:
Re: Re:
Liege, when Matthews and Gerrans can get top 10 and even win on the current course, and with the Ans finish going away next year, is far from impossible for him.
I get that California fits into his season as-is, and it works for his Tour prep, and the crowds in CA love having him, but the traditionalist in me still feels that the best classics rider in the world ought to be riding the oldest classic. And (new, separate, argument here) it'd be a real shame if he went his whole career without racing the Giro.

Re: Re:
Valverde's comment after Greg finished 11th at Liege last year was, if he can do that here I can get a top 10 at Paris-Roubaix. However, Greg had amazing form last year.
Also remember LBL is changing it's finishing town for next year.

Re: Re:
Exactly. Kelly won 2 LBLs into Liege, before the move to Ans. Unless the 60km before La Redoute are raced as hard as the 60km before Carrefour de l'Arbre, then I'd expect Sagan to still be with the other top contenders at that point, and you're into an end-game similar to what we saw today.Koronin said:
