Re:

Not big races but better than tour of turkey and i would say calfornia is better than the poland tour and UAE
Down Under sucks.

 

[Scarponi]

I mean what WT stage races could he have raced with a Spring classics program

Re:

It is kind of funny to think how crazy good peter sagan is. We are bashing at how **** he has been and he still has 2 world tour wins, and rode in the final 3 out of the 4 monuements that have been ridden this year. And some people are saying he needs to be checked with what is wrong. Kind of says everything about his level. Just my thoughts.

But it does matter. Any drop off is concerning, whether you're starting from Sagan's level or not. Expectations are high because, well, they should be.

It's possible that his training wasn't correct; that his divorce messed with his head; of that he peaked. The first two are fixable.

He seems much better in TdS than previously this season.

Is PS back to PS?

Re:

Last three stages were quite satisfying. But today it was like tailor made for him. Actually more than tailor made

 

[boneshaker]

Fun fact. It was 260th podium for Peter (112 victories, 99 2nd places and 49 3rd places). We can look forward to 100th 2nd and 50th 3rd places.

..." he hasn't worn a standard team kit in a road race since June 2011"...

Crazy huh?! He'll probably be in a green kit for most of July!

So starts tour in a Bora jersey

Re:

Yes, unless he puts on his brother's kit by mistake! :lol:

 

[SHAD0W93]

I don't know if it is still allowed but I know that the previous yellow Jersey winner was allowed to wear it on the first stage of the following Tour if he chooses. Maybe Sagan will try doing that for green.

All jokes aside, it is crazy he went that long without wearing a standard kit.

 

[Salvarani]

Bora new white jersey :lol:

 

[boneshaker]

It seems to be Sagan's 100th 2nd place.

Yikes. Good but not amazing. Green should be achievable but i'm not sure about stage wins. Hopefully he can get at least 1.

This type of finish is not really his bread and butter. Think back to 2016. In the first week there were two similar stages to today. Cavendish and Kittel won, Sagan was 4th and 3rd.

And green looks sewn up, not achievable.

Sewn up as long as he doesn't crash/crash out or get sick. You never know after what happened last year.

Every race this guy has something to moan about when it comes to Sagan, incredible

At least i'm keeping the thread alive.

This guy has in the saddle power that is unrivaled. Great finish for everyone I expect Sagan in green soon

Yeah, he's gonna wear it, but he's not actually gonna have it!

It was pretty obvious - at least to me - that "expect him in" meant in the sense of actually owning it.

 

[sprints n stones]

He is though equal on points with the winner as he picked up the intermediate sprint but the first place would give Teuinissen presidence if he wasn't in yellow.
