Stuyven looked really good, but Sagan is just better. He's like a combination of Boonen and Cancellara in their prime.
I disagree on the Boonen + Cance part.
Me too....he is even better.
Yeah.. no.
I know...if Gaviria or Tommeke would ride, he would not even win, blah, blah.
Edit: Thing is, he can ride from others or win it from sprint, i doubt there is anyone bar GVA who can give him serious challenge this year if things go right (injuries, crashes).

On Paris-Roubaix I can also see Degenkolb, Boonen, Vanmarcke in addition to GVA and Sagan as equal favourites. There are also rest of Quick Step and Sky as challengers for the title. Don't forget that his best result is a 6th place in Paris-Roubaix.
But on the Belgian classics, it looks like Sagan vs GVA.
Well, they're not riding against Sagan yet. When that happens, things change. Remember Cancellara getting wheelsucked by Chavanel? Pozzato shadowing Boonen every second of the race? If you're too strong, you will lose races because of that. I think it's only a matter of time before the other teams realise how strong Sagan is and don't want to work with him anymore.
