Peter Sagan Thread 2011

[The Hitch]

In case you're interested, this is official FB fanclub of Peter and his brother Juraj ( mostly slovak, but pictures don't need translation ):

Assuming that Slovakians pronounce j's the way the spanish do (though as a neighbor I should know better) and taking spirit from the chinese jokes ive been bombarded with by a group calling itself "the real dutch mafia", for now it really is Peter Sagan and Who?-raj

No, they pronounce J as Y.

Juraj would be something like "Yooray".

I know. Like i said im a neighbour (from Poland) and Slovakian is so similar, they practically stole our language.

But hey your intentions were good so thanks anyway Yankuwer

Sagan took his first win of the season today in Sardinia. As someone in that race's thread observed, the hype train is leaving the station, and I for one do not want to be left behind...

Signing up right now

 

[Waterloo Sunrise]

Signing up right now

Ditto.

I'd like to make clear that I can ride this train whilst also steering the good ship Guardini, and remaining a committed passenger on the Eddy Boss Boat.

What do you people think ?
What kind of rider will the Peter the Great be in future, or finally be ?

I see him sprinting and doing cobbles like Boonen + doing hilly classics and GTs like Valverde.
Perhaps not enough to win le Tour or Giro, but nearly a cannibal.

Hype.

 

[roundabout]

It seems that he didn't have a lot left yesterday.

At the moment - shorter classics, hilly stages

Longer climbs still a ?

Hype.

As I predicted last year, the victories for young Peter will grow to become as plentiful as the stars in the heavens. Billions and Billions.

I see a Paulo Bettini type rider perhaps. We'll see.

Or in another word at least one sagan victories.

 

[Ryaguas]

mmmmm He could develop into a Gilbert or maybe Vino type, with his fenotype He could be a great puncheur... mmmm IDK, I dont see him losing too much weight to be a climber...

 

[skidmark]

Oh, that one was gooood...

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

Or in another word at least one sagan victories.

Now, THAT was well done!

 

[SpannerBender]

He's only 20, so still time to decide. Just glad to see the team has the belief and balls to let him of the leash.

Leaky the best team for him to develop in?

Definitely.

Given from what we've seen the last 2 seasons I think drawing comparisions between Sagan and Bettini are right on the money. We'll have to see how he manages longer climbs but for now stages like here in Sardinia are perfect for him.

 

[jens_attacks]

i see him as the next winner of the ardennes hat-trick after rebellin.

 

[ingsve]

Who will win all 5 monuments first. Sagan or EBH?

I guess it's possible but I think Flèche will be a tall order for him.

 

[Jamsque]

Taylor Phinney

 

[Buffalo Soldier]

Gilbert

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

TGBM

TGAK!
He runs with Evens... I rest my case...

 

[royalpig180]

Impressive sprint by Sagan today... seems to me this race was designed for him. Capecchi's been doing some real strong work for him over the past few days (and Oss on the first stage).

 

[bicing]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan i been on the sagan hype train since paris nice 2010! in fact thats when i thought the hype train began? i am thrilled though, that he looks to be the real deal and not a one year wonder.

a little suspicious though that cobblestoned and polish are so in love with him... so i can only hope that he sticks to one day races and doesn't become a GT hog

yeah, that was when the train started.
I thought, WTF is this young dude doing to them. Poor pros !

Yes I love Peter, especially because of his finishingmoves and because he lets them all look like pupils. I hope he will become a cannibal.
Watched little bit NBA on youtube yesterday.
Sagan reminds me of Blake Griffin.
