Sagan? Again? I wonder if any of the other riders realise that they can win too.

I like this quote from cyclingnews (well,you cant praise them often). 
"The rules of cycling, it seems, have been condensed to just one: the peloton races for almost 200 kilometres, and in the end, Sagan wins in the sprint."
Btw. it was win number 8 in less than a month, isnt this some sort of world record (modern times at least)?

It's quite unique, but how would you define modern times then? 21th century? |

Something like that, maybe simply call it "post-epo" times.
I wonder who was the last man to win 8 stages during one month,cant find the similar result, only Petacchi and Cav coming close with 8 wins in 6/7 weeks.

I think Petacchi won like nine stages in the 2004 giro.
How hard can it be?

Mmmm, Sky have a great race in the Dauphine and everyone suggests doping is at hand. So what about Mr Sagan then, 8 wins in a month without breaking a sweat, maybe you should consider the same with him  |

Sagan has shown talent since his very first days in the pro ranks, and even before he became a pro. Since then, he's had a progression which seem pretty natural, steadily improving his skills. Of course, this is pro cycling, so you never know, but there's no possible comparison between Sagan and UK Postal.
