Re: Re:
Sagan has been beaten sometimes when the rest of the field keys off him. He's not yet at Cancellara 2006-2010 levels where he can just ride away from anyone. (I'd love to see that guy's "program")
I give him the benefit of the doubt in that he's probably within the parameters of "normal" in the peloton. The points in his favor are no huge, improbable leaps, and the fact that he hasn't outperformed expectations -- which are quite high, and often self-defined...

I suppose that depends on what you think the base level of doping is in the peloton. He's clearly very strong and always has been, but he seems to suffer in some areas if he tries to improve in others and he's been beaten when you might expect him to win. Id like to give him the benefit of the doubt at the moment and I'm really not much of a fan of him other than of his bike riding.
