except you can;t compare them. Demare is more a pure sprinter like Cavendish than an all-rounder like Sagan.El Pistolero said:Demare is almost having a better year than Sagan's first year.

But I can see Demare winning real classics.Dekker_Tifosi said:Yet that doesn't make the statement of Demare being a pure sprinter any less true. Cavendish is/was just always woefully bad at going uphill, even for a pure sprinter.
Can't see Demare winning serious uphill sprints like Sagan did in his first year anyway
Cav had a slow puncture in the closing Km's as well as Boonen having to do a wheel changeMagnus said:Just turned on (Danish) Eurosport. Brian Holm was talking something about Cavendish having a flat with 12 km to go at the Olympic RR. Did anyone else hear that? I turned on in the middle of a sentence.
He's 20 years old, I can see him do well in the Northern classics if he desires to do so. He's got the engine and can climb a bit. He's also from Picardie if I remember correctly. Close enough to French Flanders.Dekker_Tifosi said:The only classics I can see Demare winning in are San Remo, Gent Wevelgem, Paris Tours, etc, flat or nearly flat classics.
