Atleast they got close to Sagan this time. Boonen should have started his sprint a tad bit earlier and he probably would have won.
Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring.

Poor Haussler, let him win Peter!
And decent sprint from Boonen this time.

I'm sorry to disagree mate. Right now, with good form having Sagan, I doubt that any of his rivals can do much more than attending to victory after victory of the "Bicho".
As this progression continue, next year we could see a domain insulting of this guy in spring.
The "prophecy Phinney" is underway. "he will win all stages unless the time trial in California" ...

Great sprint by Sagan, but he will come down to earth with a bump when the hilly stages come  |

You mean mountainous right? Because he is also one of the best on hills. But Sagan himself is saying he will work for Nibbles in two stages after the TT.

Break has just been caught, expect lots of attacks as we finish the last climb.
Edited again to fix something:
It was Nocentini not Talansky.

After Merkcx there was never such a great all-rounder cyclist. Yea leave the doping and that there wasn't as much specialization in races behind though.
Sagan can sprint, climb relatively well, great on the hilly stuff, reasonable TT's and very good prologue as well as quite a good cobbler too. He has it all, no rider in the peleton like that and just 22 years of age. EBH doesn't even come close.

Damn. Sorry guys for forgetting him His awesome though at Sky. If he didn't work for Wiggins at PN and went to lead a different team I think he could have come Top 3 or won it even  [/...spoiler] ^^[/...spoiler]
Spoiler Seriously, I really rate him. Great guy and does amazing job at the front for his leaders in many races, I have a lot of respect for him.

Hardest stage ever, today in California.
I think I just saw some riders playing cards in the peloton.

Paul Sherwin I'm pretty sure just said Juraj Sagan was younger than Peter, and that he was going to be even better than Peter, the same thing he said last year at this time.
