Praetor said:I think Gerrans and Valverde are smarter than that. They're not just going to bring Sagan back to get beaten in a sprint and I don't think they are riders who are racing with a "oh well, at least I have a shot at a medal this way" attitude, they wanna win and they have do ditch Sagan to do that. Failing that, they will let Sagan close the gap to Gilbert by himself.
Yes, of course I did not think about that at all
My point was that I think Sagan does not have the form to arrive on top of the Cauberg with the best, but might still win the sprint if it all comes together.
