Pleeeeeeease nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

eheheheheh. that's where's the fun

 

[infeXio]

Sagan and Sky.. my god that would be a sight I do not want. They'd probably put him on the front and destroy him like they have EBH.

 

[jens_attacks]

Damn, this will create a new level in cobbles domination.

Sagan, Wiggins, Thomas, Stannard, Eisel etc.

Not sure if serious.

In the Tour maybe...
Brailsford recently claimed that they would target more widely in the season to come, so this is not i big surprise if they want to do better in the classics season...

However I don't think it's a fruitfull match given the fact that Brailsford has a hard time with the individuals in his team as it is.. And Sagan is certainly a mouthfull if you are wanting for managerial skills as DB is.....

 

[Miburo]

Sagan to win the tour 2017

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Not sure if serious.

ok domination and new level might be too strong.
But I like to see a new team challenging Cancellara and the Steppers.

 

[Jancouver]

Sagan to win the tour 2017

Thats possible even without going to SKY

 

[MatParker117]

Sagan's new Skytrain?:
G, Eisel, Cataldo, Knees, Stannard, Puccio, Wiggins, Swift, Sagan.

That team already exists, they rode them all off their wheel in the Roubaix stage at the Tour. And I don't mean Astana.

yep, I'm excited about the prospects.

 

[murali]

just in case no one has already posted this: Gianni Meersman is extending contract for 2 more years.

it seems most of OPQS riders are extending contract.

When was the last spring classic they won? 2011?

Rabo-Belkin?
Boom was in talks with Sky...

 

[Jerkovin]

Sagan to Sky would be horrible.

Some guy who works at Tinkoff bizarrely tweeted about Sagan to Trek. Who bloody knows.

 

[Lanceo]

Then Cancellara will pay his salary

 

[orangey]

Nah, Sagan has proven talent. In combination with Sky, he'll be on the team agenda for the next Tour GC winner after Froome and Porte hang it up. Not even kidding about this either.

 

[Cimber]

sagan at Sky would be a fun thing to follow. Talk about a guy who wouldnt fit into the whole robotization and uniformity

No more doomed breaks over the top of cat 4s 5km from the finish? How dull.
For all the talk I think Sagan will go to BMC. They've just freed up 6 million, Evans and Hushovd. Coupled with a strong cobbles team and the scope to recruit, they can't be looking bad.
Tinkoff, Astana, Sky won't want to support anything other than yellow at the Tour. OPQS already has enough riders to compete with. I could see Trek and Belkin where for the classics Sagan could police the chase, allowing Van Marcke or Cancellara to attack but I'd question if they have the budget.

 

[theyoungest]

Oh sure, winning is another thing. But this was about challenging

If Boom moves to Sky it's a different story, of course. Then Belkin becomes a one headed monster, unless Hofland steps up massively.

 

[Samson]

There are rumours that Navarro is going back to Saxo-Tinkof.

 

[Beech Mtn]

There are rumours that Navarro is going back to Saxo-Tinkof.

Navarro gave an interview in Spanish a few weeks ago where he said he'd be happy to work for Alberto again. He said when he went to Cofidis he had wanted to try being a leader, and they had given him the chance to ride for himself a bit - gave the impression he now knows his limits, although I don't remember him saying that outright. He said he would be open to offers from lots of teams, in different roles. Basically not necessarily asking to get to be a leader anymore, and how much he liked working for Alberto and would be happy to do so again.

yeah,Im not either....that would be a nighrmare transfer for me

That would be very good,Dani was great domestique.

 

[MatParker117]

With Roche apparently heading for Sky he would be a good replacement.
