Kým mnohí z borcov súperili vo virtuálnych pretekoch, o Petrovi Saganovi bolo počas pandémie pomerne ticho. Svoj čas trávil so synom v Monaku, odkiaľ sa však už presunul do Rakúska na tréningový kemp tímu Bora-Hansgrohe. Odtiaľ...

I really wonder what Sagan climbing will be this year. Skipping the classic races could probably change completely his preparation and priorities. I wish to see the old Peter able to climb with the best as long as possible. I prefer to see him winning one or two hilly stages to see him second - 5th on 15 bunch sprints.
And my wet dream is to see him with the best in WCRR. just a dream.

I had the same hope but on the videos I have seen from his training camp in Ötztal he doesn't look lighter than recent seasons, unfortunately.

That is not real. WCRR is between TDF and Giro. He wont participate 100%. Anyway I better understood why he is going to Giro when I saw that commercials.

Is Sagan going to give a *** about winning Green at the Tour?

Hardly much else to aim for is there

Obviously.

He couldn’t lose it if he tried.

He couldn’t lose it if he tried.

Especially with Matthews not there.

He has not been

If any year is the year to break the streak, it seems like this is the one. He hasn't been on form, and he looks very interested in the Giro.

If any year is the year to break the streak, it seems like this is the one. He hasn't been on form, and he looks very interested in the Giro.

Why this year? Just because of his form? Because I think the route is probably better than ever for Sagan. The only ones I could potentially steal green on this route, and only under the right cirsumstances, would be Alaphilippe and Van Aert and that's not gonna happen this year.

If Nizzolo keeps this shape for three weeks he can give Sagan a run, but yeah I wouldn't bet against Peter either.

 

[limmat]

Can Peter surveive on stage 2, I think maybe

With not that many out-and-out sprint stages. Sagan should have a very could chance indeed.

 

[Salvarani]

No chance.

Break or favorites.

That’s just in. Even off form he can win green because he doesn’t have to win anything at the Tour. Even off form he will get top 5 in sprints and then top 3 in intermediate sprints and then he will win the sprint points that other sprinters can’t reach.

Even if he made it over the big climbs I think the finale favors the likes of Alaphilippe too much

Just drop Alaphilippe on Turini then

I don’t think his climbing level is near what it used to be. I can’t help thinking a sprinter with a decent climbing level could really push him. Of course, the 2 obvious candidates to do that are Matthews and Demare, and neither of them are going. And VanAert has other duties and Alaphilippe will have other ambitions. Bennett and Ewan are a level below on the hills.

 

[Earns1985]

Just drop Alaphilippe on Turini then

If they are going fast enough to drop Alaphilippe on Turini, I have my doubts that Sagan will not be dropped on the Turini..

 

[Gigs_98]

Alaphilippe, Sagan downhill attack from the Turini is the wettest of my wet dreams

 

[Red Rick]

Lo Squalo will see it once he come back after training, and he'll see that all is well.

If Wout has the other business in TDF I think only COVID in the BORA team can stop him here.
Btw. the rule about disqualification after 2 positive cases in team is pretty hard. I smell huge french conspiracy theories in case Pinot wins and Jumbo or Ineos would have to be sent hope.
