Go Sagan.
Oh well. Bad racing from them.
Very classy win from Sagan. Not riding wheels and hoping to take the sprint but goes solo en puissance from 4km, hands draped over the bars like Fabu. Love it.
Really enjoying Amador in these races. Got some spirit and am surprised to see him contending - had him down as performing more in the stage races.Contador is the Greatest0 -
I've never seen a rider wearing arm warmers, leg warmers, thermal hat and no gloves!0

They tried working Sagan over all afternoon.... well that worked!0

sweet wheelie"In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Crap feed I've got, haven't a clue what's happening / happened - has it finished?0

Is it wrong that I'd have laughed so hard if he'd fallen off during that wheelie?Correlation is not causation.0

He took them off just before he attacked. Got to be able to grip the bars hard when he puts down the power.Contador is the Greatest0 -
Great attack by Sagan, fair play, great ride. Wheelie over the line - complete tw@t.When a true genius appears in this world, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him. - Jonathan Swift0

Yeah don't understand the problem. McEwen used to wheelie over every HC summit on the Tour."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Yeah! Plus I just really hate his victory celebrations. That's why I called him a tw*t. Chapeau to the man for a great race and taking it on and outriding the rest, I just hate the theatrics.Correlation is not causation.0 -
That arm flick from Flecha asking Sagan to come through and Sagan just says ok and rides off. Ha ha ha! That is funny, that is classy, doesn't need the circus tricks.Correlation is not causation.0

And Chiappucci used to bunny hop them.
Personally, I didn't particularly like the wheelie there.Contador is the Greatest0 -

He's won the race, he can celebrate how he wants.
If he wins Flanders, I want to see him walk across the line, bike above his head, then toss it to the floor and walk off."In many ways, my story was that of a raging, Christ-like figure who hauled himself off the cross, looked up at the Romans with blood in his eyes and said 'My turn, sock cookers'"

Reminds me of playing football in the park with mates and getting on your hands and knees to nudge the ball over the line with your head.
Sure he just means it as a bit of fun.0 -

Yep me too, In a sport so pretentious it's constantly in danger of disappearing up it's own ar*ehole, people like Sagan, Cav, Greg Henderson etc are a breath of fresh air...We're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence

But there are limits to what is acceptable. He can't stick two fingers up for example. A sprinter pulling a wheelie over a mountin pass that's taking the wee wee out of themselves and the climb. It's something else when you've just won a race, it could be construed as taking the wee wee out of your competitors. If I was his mum I'd tell him how proud I was of him but to wind his neck in a little.Correlation is not causation.0 -
