If there was more needed to confirm the whole thing as a farce, UCI just dutifully delivered.blutto said:http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uci-reverses-time-penalties-for-uran-and-bennett/
....all I can say we should be thrilled we didn't see the appearance of the "magical" elbow....otherwise the Tour would have become even more boring than it is now.....what waste of bandwidth....
Keram said:Poland has Sagan friendly route imo, maybe litlle too hard but I think he will be building his form slowly and I think it will be stagehunting from him not GC. However former Eneco will be different kind of story and I think he will absolutely own it. Especially when his main rivals will be exhausted from the Tour. Then he should ride Canadian classics and I think definitely that german one and Plouyay as well. He will be fresher than ever at fall and he could absolutely dominate that one day races and WC RR as well if he will manage his form properly. I am looking forward to it.

Yeah, I think he will pretty much ride all WT races except the Vuelta. At least those of the old WT calendar.
Yup, you're right thanks. Just looked through the list only other one he's not doing is San Sebastian and that clashes
with Poland. Juraj is representing the family in that!
Oh yeah, I forgot about that race. Nothing for him there. I guess he is not defending his European title?

Something doesn't quite add up here.

P. Kennaugh too.tomorrow said:Daniel Oss signed by BORA. So Sagan gets "THE DOMESTIC" finally. I am quite curious, how will this end up. With OSS, Burghard and developing Posltberger Sagan should not get isolated in any of the spring classics anymore. Or is any of them leaving?

More like completely spent after last 2 stages of TdP where he went really deep.tobydawq said:Monstrous performance today. He will be very hard to beat in next week's Binckbank Tour.

Doubt so. Remember his previous TdF appearances, when he went for breaks, helped Contador on windy days, ..., again and again. His recovery appears to be very good.Screecher said:More like completely spent after last 2 stages of TdP where he went really deep.
