Re:

Gav seems almost as accident prone as Cav

Almost? Cav is like Sagan compared to Gaviria. The latter can't complete two sprints without crashing out.

Re:

Kittel may have won the stage, but holy **** Sagan! :surprised:

Yeah, he had the slingshot action behind Kittel that made him really fast! He almost pulled it off.

Re: Re:

How the hell did Sagan manager to not crash there? That doesn't seem possible.

Among the "crashes Sagan escaped" this amazingly wouldn't be in the top 3.

Well, I haven't made a list and I know he has dodged some bullets before, but I would be surprised if this one wouldn't be among the top 3.

The Roubaix Cancellara crash is most certainly #1

How about a dutch GC-contender then?

Sagan rode into 2nd place today for the 80th time in his career...

Too soon.

Re:

No other rider than Sagan would have still managed to get second after all that.

Not exactly the same (it was farther from the finish and he actually crashed rather than being delayed by a crash) but Robbie McEwan in stage 1 of the 2007 Tour de France was similar--and he won!

Yeah, I don't actually have a list. If I had to think right now, Roubaix is definitely top survival skills. I don't remember exactly, but avoiding Gaviria (...) at Milan San Remo, the Time-Trial/Dog Walker thing might be other contenders.

And MSR Gaviria crash wraps up his top 3.

 

[tobydawq]

When Gaviria crashed in front of him in MSR his reaction was incredible as well (Cancellara's was too).

But yeah, the Roubaix one is definitely number one. I have never seen anything like that.

Sagan really displayed Grinta toughness & courage today - what a rider!!

Sagan is going to win Milan-San Remo, and he's gonna do it by waiting for the sprint!

It would be about time wouldn't it... he should have won it twice already...

After this stage, Bardet has finished outside the top10 for the 3rd time this year.

Re:

I would’ve like an epic battle between him, Pozzovivo and Roson for the last top-10 spot.

Well, I hope he’s ok after the crash.

I wouldn't have counted out Formolo to join that battle yet...

Ther gap in bike handling skills between Sagan and Gaviria rivals the Grand Canyon.

Fractured hand for Gaviria in Tirreno-Adriatico crash

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/fractured-hand-for-gaviria-in-tirreno-adriatico-crash/

"To make a full recovery he’ll need at least four weeks. It’ll be difficult for him to ride before that, the fracture needs time to stabilize."

 

[jaylew]

Damn, no MSR. Well, I guess that simplifies things for QS.

Re: Re:

@Redhead Dane:
Sometimes your constant desire to be funny is a bit tiresome, sorry to say. And I'm Danish and should actually understand the humor...

(Armchairclimber clearly tried to be funny him/herself)

And you automatically presume that all Danes must have the same sense of humour?

Ehm.....no.

But when trying so hard to make funny remarks (which I think some of them are, but you try too hard IMO), you in this case blatantly missed a fellow posters try to do the same.

Apparently ToS find it funny, but my opinion respectfully matters as well. I would have told a person IRL the same, if I had to endure his/her company a lot. Nothing disrespectful, just stating my opinion (and you've been called out at least once earlier to my recollection)
