Sagan is definitely waiting for someone. Nibbles!  |

Sky controlled the race - until Wiggins attacked and then everything broke up 
Break is still on the front and few attackers on road now with Sagan as one.
Strange tactic. Doesn't he have several team mates left in the group? Even EBH?
He has 4 Testing everyone's legs ? Pinot and Rolland already dropped.
Maybe he was saying, "Yeah, I can attack too ya know".
There's no point slapping a schleck - Sean Kelly on "Who needs a slap"

Sagan is living in his own world, who knows.
Words to live by
"What would Lance do?"

That's easy to answer.
Waiting for Nerz to join up, so that his group can catch the front group. Then he wins the point sprint as well as the stage.  |

Seems Liq don't want to chase down a break so want to get him in it for the win I guess. |

Having had to rely on Cycling News live updates in the past am slightly concerned they missed an attack by the yellow jersey... |

It was hardly an attack. More of a provocation towards the media and the rest of the peleton. |

So Sagan was really bluffing, saying that today is very hard and he will rest for the flat stages. My boy Peter, go!

Sagan is riding his own race 
I am really looking forward in 2-3 years when he will start to be climber |

Quite but probably worthy of a one line mention no? |

Looked like he wanted Kern to help, but Kern refused to go past Sagan. Thus creating a gap between those two and the rest of the group.

There you go:

Day for the break i think, as i am not sure Liquigas will be working for Sagan. Peter says he is very tired from yesterday and that today is the stage where he need to rest for the flat stages. So dont expect much from him, although if he will be there, he is the sprint favourite of course.
I think the word you are looking for is: bluffing )

He suddenly stopped and gapped himself and Kern from the rest of the group.
