You can't get better than wins like that. Wins like that make you a legend. Coppi didn't win from the sprint - he won from showing his class and courage and arriving solo after destroying everyone.
Cancellara forms the initial gap then uses his TT ability to make a comfortable gap and hold it. I wish Wiggins would try something like that not that I have any illusions that he will.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Wiggins is a fair bit less explosive.
He has that crazy pursuit speed that he can hold and hold, but he doesn't have that acceleration that sends your powermetre graph off the scale.0 -

Sagan really was everywhere in the race........ :shock:0 -

He's also a GC rider, only interested in time, not one days or stage wins.Warning No formatter is installed for the format0 -

To create the initial gap would be hard but if the race conditions gifted him the gap he could use it. Or even better for the viewing just try and ride everyone off his wheel!Contador is the Greatest0 -

Sagan needs to be had up for that, he's just a boy I guess but jayzuss thats naff ... can we get rid of the podium girls...its just so anachronistic and crass, just fuels the behaviour"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Check. Still searching for the class. Certainly no gentleman or rider commanding respect. Still needs to grow out of adolescence.Contador is the Greatest0 -

Ha ha yes because sexual assault is hilarious and makes a man a legend. I'm sorry but you might want to think about what that comment says about you and your views on women. Public endorsement by using words like "legend" of that kind of behaviour means that sexual assault continues to be belittled as something that women (and men) continue to face.Correlation is not causation.0 -
1 year later and a more respected and gentlemanish Sagan during an interview his 20th victory in a row:
'I had good legs, my teammates were good, I like this race, the weather was goo... ZzzzZzzzZZZzzz0 -

I just knew it. I knew someone would take it WAAAAAAAAY too serious.
The man is a young cheeky bastard. Get over it.0 -
Did Canc give permission or is he being assaulted as well??0

And somehow I just knew you'd use the usual misogynistic excuse of "get over it". How predictable you misogynists are.
That woman is at work. That woman is employed by the Tour of Flanders and has the right to not have her arse groped while at work. Sexual assualt Is actually a crime and not something to be excused away by boyish overexuberance.Correlation is not causation.0 -

And a little advice don't make misogynistic comments and then be shocked when someone calls you out on it. The Internet is part of culture it is a place where cultural attitudes are produced. Women are still struggling against cultures of misogyny and comments like yours add to that culture. Sometimes people have to take responsibility for the things they do and say, that includes Sagan and you.Correlation is not causation.0 -

Sorry but you've been way off all day!
First the Europcar B/S... then the "this is awful" B/S... now the "get over it" B/S. So a little advice - call it a day man.

Patrick Lefevere (ploegmanager Omega Pharma-Quick Step): "Ze hebben goed gereden, maar Chavanel is met de 13e plaats onze eerste renner. En die 13e plaats staat gelijk met 0 punten. Kwiatkowski deed het fantastisch, jammer dat hij een zeer sterke ploeg-Cancellara achter zich kreeg. Chavanel lag dan weer ongeveer in zesde positie op de Kwaremont, waarvan iedereen weet "hier gaat het gebeuren"."Dat leek andermaal iets te ver. Op het einde van het jaar maken we de balans, maar dit bewijst weer dat je kopmannen hebt die het kunnen afmaken en daarnaast zeer goeie renners."
RC translation: They rode well but Chava at 13th was our first rider. And 13th place gives you exactly 0 points. Kwiatkowski was fantasic, shame he had a Cancellara's very strong team riding behind him. Chav was then roughly in 6th position on the Kwaremont, where everyone knew "it's going to happen here". That appears to be a little to far behind. By the end of the year we'll make up for this, but this has shown that there are top riders who can finish it off and behind them very good riders. (i.e. there's a sea of difference between a rider like Canc & Sagan and a general 'very good rider')0 -
Yep. It appears that the 'Clasicamano' is back.Rick Chasey wrote:It's amazing how much souplesse Canc had when he attacked, esp. on the Kwaremont.0 -
