I'm looking forward to August, will be exciting to see what riders such as Sagan has chosen to do, i personally hope he joins Tinkoff - Saxo

Luigi, you are becoming really boring with you hate...
why this time, the time that I said that if Sagan keeps getting worse (or the rest get's better faster then Sagan) he might not easily scrap points together next year or the time that I said that I find sagan just below Greipel, Coquard, Demare, Bouhanni but then said realisticly speaking he's best then them. I wasn't even hating.
How dare you to even put Greipel in a line with Coquard, Demare, and Bouhanni?!
Sagan is of course stronger then those three, but for some odd reasons, people always underrate Greipel. Remember two years ago in TdF he had 3 wins as well as Sagan and Cavendish, last year there was only one as well as this year, but this was due to Kittel dominance and much of bad luck. Sagan imo has no chance against Greipel.
As we're speaking of Greipel, his Team Lotto Belisol will be called Lotto Soudal from next season on to at least 2020. Soudal produces glue and all this kind of stuff.

I agree with you, many underrate Greipel lately, he has the most wins in 2014. However, age is catching up with him, he'll only be getting slower and slower from this point. By next year Coquard, Demare and Bouhanni could well be all faster than him, or at least be very similar, so your first line is bit overexagerated too.

Saying that Sagan has no he's type of stages to win at tour is..wrong.
Just all teams know this guy already and played him out every time.
Uphill spint?..Maybe. But if there had been uphill sprint there also had many riders to challenge him also there. And there has been always one..to beat him..
Taaramäe will be off from Cofidis. He is not smart..he should have done this himself 3 years ago..he had no coach..and team did not take care he's health problems propely. Well let's hope that he will find team and will return with one year and wont be another wasted french team talent. |

I was tempted to write an opinion article somewhere that a team with a strong sport science department should take the gamble on Taaramae in an almost moneyball\soccernomics-esque kind of way. If he can get back to, or surpass, the level had at the 2011 Tour de France where he came 11th overall he could theoretically be at least a good Top 10 GC rider in Grand Tours.
I'll be interested to know where he ends up, after seeing what moving to GreenEDGE did for Pieter Weening it would be nice to see Rein succeed in a new environment.

Just something minor about I got:
The Canadian bike company Argon 18 officially declared that they signed a contract with the actual team NetApp-Endura, so in the next season the team will be called Bora - Argon 18.
Spoiler Am I the only one who thinks thas this name sounds pretty awkward? I mean, just say it out loud and you'll see what I'm speaking of

and there is 75% possibility that he's next year will be good again. after tour he was saying that breathing problems are gone..he did not had legs..thanks to spoiled season and preparation. plus he needs strong manager |

Ahhh, I love when things spice up in tranfers sagas and they certainly did.
Eisel posted a tweet, with the picture above saying '' deal or no deal '' which was later deleted 
While this may be nothing, it still spices things up. Imagine this though, Sky and Sagan - all the hate.

To be fair though... that would be kind of hilarious.
Sagan won't go to Sky, there is no way he would get the Tour team built around him that he wants.

Agree here, if they didn't do it for the best sprinter of his generation that's British, then what hope does Sagan have? |

Except you forget Sagan doesn't need a team around him. He can do it all by himselves + depend on other teams to pull in breakaways. And he can get someone like Eisel to put him in a good spot during the 1-2 last kilometers.
I don't see a problem.
Present:
Tinkoff-Saxo - AG2R - Colombian riders
Past:
Francisco Mancebo - Illes balears - Carlos Sastre - Kelme - Robbie McEwen
