He broke through in a year with no top sprinter and now finally good sprinters are showing up again.
I think it's fair to say that Sagan is the best sprinter, if he ever had a train like Cav at HTC.. Oh boy.
Pricey_sky said:Nice win from Sagan, Cav closed rapidly but just ran out of road.
SafeBet said:Meh. He was sitting on Sagan's wheel and never tried to overtake him.
phanatic said:Wow, Sagan was incredible. I hope he doesn't start climbing.
Miburo said:De Vlaeminck says Sagan can win tomorrow
He just surpassed Museeuw
Miburo said:De Vlaeminck says the last climb tomorrow is 10% average.
Do some research
Like Moser?El Pistolero said:I hope a random noob break survives in MSR because no one wants to help Sagan.
willbick said:jeez u guys dont half talk some sh1te. How u can draw these conclusions about the relative merits of sprinters after 1 race in the pouring rain is laughable. u need things to go yr way to win a sprint like that, obviously there is only a small amount between the top sprinters and if u dont get the run at the right time yr not gonna win

Yeah, today nobody but Cav is to blame for Cavendish not winning. Sagan beat him fair & square. But assuming what the guy says before he gets a microphone in front of him? Grasping at straws chaps
On a side note, I do enjoy the part where people claim Cav is done as a top sprinter with nary a word about Griepel, despite having still beat Andre yesterday & today. Hmmm.
I know, I know, expecting rational reactions from the internet is like expecting a baby to perform long division. Everything has to be BEST EVER or WORST EVER.
Good sprint from Sagan today. Deserves credit for that, beating a strong field.
