Never been a massive Sagan fan due to some of his antics, but credit where's it due. The guy is some bike racer.

Contrast this with by-the-book Cav listlessly drifting along off the back.

Cav? By-the-book?
Guessing he should have changed his tyres with 50km to go because he should have been able to tell that he was going to have a puncture 35k later

That thread inevitably gets started for every great calssics/one-day puncheur. "Can _____ Win the Tour?"

Let's not pretend the end result would have been anything else.
There'll come a day when winning his nth Tour stage or yet another green jersey just won't be enough anymore. What then?BigMac said:CheckMyPecs said:What could Peter do if he built his season around a GT, changed his training and went to altitude camps?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :razz:

If his focus had been on GC, he would probably finish in the top 20 right now, without any changes.trucido said:CheckMyPecs said:What could Peter do if he built his season around a GT, changed his training and went to altitude camps?
Finish 27th in the Tour.
I think a Valverde approach could be useful: aim for two peaks, one in the spring season and another for the Tour.BigMac said:CheckMyPecs said:There'll come a day when winning the nth Tour stage or yet another green jersey just won't be enough anymore.

Ye, but there are still one-day races and Monuments to win. Aiming at GT GC means he'll never be able to win most of those. As it is, he's got a chance at all of them.
