Teams & Riders Peter Sagan discussion thread.

Assuming Sagan is fit then he can win the GC - And could win a sprint - Sagan will be mega in Australia.

He's so freaking awesome. He was trying to form a break with John, Cav and Andre after an intermediate sprint at the tour.

Well, Froome didn't mind, this year.

Was last year, they joked for a couple of minutes after that intermediate sprint.

Specialized could give up Astana, Nibali, Flu, Contrador. Just to keep Sagan.

It is right. 100% correct.

Specialized will give up Astana from 2017. and Nibali will ride Merida.

no news about Etixx - Specialized contract for 2017.

I think this was Sagan peak season. It is almost impossible to have better season. In that new world ranking he set almost impossible amount of points. He will have more than 5300 after this worlds I think. Second is Froome with 3700+ I think he set the record for many years. :lol:

He is still only 26. There is definitely room for improvement ...

 

[Eclipse]

Stunning. Legend already.

Probably could. Wouldn't suprise me.

 

[contador_attacks]

Chapeau, legend!

 

[cineteq]

Hope by now all those who complained few years ago about Sagan getting second in important races, without a team, understand its importance. :arrow: A well deserved championship!

 

[SKSemtex]

I hope that some of the critics understand that cycling palmares is not the only "true measurment" of quality of rider. Lets imagine his palmares if he is e.g from France and he has been in Etixxs since 2011.

Sagan got 2nd. a 2nd rainbow jersey that is

Help me, is this Sagan starting to sprint to bridge into the first echelon? Watch the video here

I do not have access to a HD version of the video and you can see it only for few seconds, but it does look his style.

yes, it's him , the dutch team set a hard tempo to try and catch the front of the group and i think only sagan and terpstra were able to catch the group. i'm sure it's him because i saw him from the moment the echelons were forming and he was not in front

 

[ppanther92]

I am also pretty sure its him, alreay thought that while watching the race live. I also shouted at Haller to keep Sagans wheel

No.

Which Slovakian rider with a black helmet do you then think it was?

Not to mention that Terpstra is clearly missing from the lead group at that moment, so we know it was still possible to bridge.

Thanks. I re-watched and, yes, it's him. You can see him few seconds before hanging to the Dutch train that was overtaking the long line of riders. So that's how the race was won!
