    Didn't he monster a descent in the Giro (2011) and chased down Cunego for the win? It was like a class in descending.

    It was the Tour de Suisse, but yes, it was a phenomenal ride. Possibly one of the most exciting race finishes in recent years with some extraordinary footage of the descent from the camera bikes. I actually felt sorry for Cunego that day, 99 days out of 100 he would have won that stage.

    Check. Cunego's move and descending was still a very fine performance in and of itself.

    Love this stage for the Eigerwand menace as well as the frequent clenches on the descent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtpQ_7Bj ... ults_video

    Also the name "L'equilibriste" is a little more appropriate for this chap than Peter.

    How about 2010 and 2011? Paris Nice as a neo pro was absolutely unreal.

    Have some seriously good photos of this fella. Lets start with the most recent:

    nice pic - Carlton Kirby said "what does this celebration mean? I like dancing with big people??..." well it made me smile.

    Suspect there are many here discovering a latent fascination with Sagan's stones.

    What do you do? I dabbled in Earth Sciences before I became a captain of industry :wink:

    When I go on holiday I still look out for interesting rock formations, faults, dip, strike, etc.

    Popped into Smith's today & saw Sagan on cover of Pro-Cycling, interview in Road Cycle(?) mag. Hope he does well in the rest of the season as he's going in my Cobblestone fantasy team :)

    We are not worthy!

    Funnily enough I read part of one of my old geology books the other day, which I haven't opened for 10 years. It might as well have been written in Chinese for how much I can remember!

    Sorry to continue the OT comments, but Oman truly is a geologist's paradise! I go out there once a year to do some oil-related writing and I get to speak to a lot of geologists who all spend every available moment exploring.

    I was really hoping to get out during the Tour of Oman this year and maybe take my bike for a crack at Jebel al Akhdar, but the stars just missed aligning.

    As for Sagan, he's a family favourite, particularly with my 6yo lad. I still prefer Mad Thomas de Gendt myself but there you go...

    My 3 year old (and me admittedly) is a fan. This is him copying Super Sagan after his Hulk move last year LOL

    This hysteria is all very well, but has nobody noticed that @petosagan (for reals :lol: ) can't work Twitter? https://twitter.com/petosagan :shock:

    That said, I'm for fomenting a grass roots fan groundswell of voices to demand that St Peter is equipped with a cape and Elvis wig for his next victory performance.
