Well that's tactics and nothing more to be fair today 
Is Gilbert supposed to chase his own team mate ? Nope, and Sagan was clearly the only one strong enough to do so. If he didn't do that, he wouldn't have won.

Quintana's not doing Amstel.
Valverde has been sick, didn't do many prep races, form unknown, but there's many riders missing from that list, it's not big deal.

Quintana would have as much chance of winning Amstel (even with the old finish) as Sagan of winning Flèche: nearly zero

True, and I am bad at predicting favourites so that's also why
As stated if anyone has any recommendations feel free to post. |

Its in spanish sorry but acording to that he is going to be at Amstel Gold Race, La Fleche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège with Valverde.

Not just sick, he hasn't raced and barely trained since he crashed out of the Volta a Catalunya while leading it.
I wouldn't expect anything from him

Yeah, thanks god we have the overmatured fans here to tell this kid how to race. If Sagan did not what he did there in last three kilometers, he would finish third as best.
That was what happened to him again and again last season. Nobody pull for him and late attackers won. This is the only way for him.
Edit: It is really funny how you find "something" on Sagan in every race he dominates. In the the Tour it was bad celebrations, later he stole the green jersey from Goss because he made a protest on the line. Now it is bad tactics and acting like a kid. I am already looking forward to which "fault" you will point next time.
If these things that Sagan does (celebrations, instinctive riding, pinching) are child acting, okay, it is your oppinion. But i still like it more than watching robots on and off the bike like Froome. I hope i am not the only one, who likes this fresh wind in swampy pond.

It's also still way too cold for Valverde to perform.

we should not start with that.. we do not never get any result for that.
How you feeled if Luigi has backwheeled over Vlaanderen finish line.
You would be thinking..see he is not also robot.
My theory..this is how Cancellara mock Sagan.
Then again same race podium..Cancellara getting he's throhy and kisses..same time that kid doing funny faces and pinching asses. Funny? Hey look at me I am not robot..I grab this ass now..because every girl want me?! It is so wrong in both way.
Woman have usualy much better taste believe my. |

Slagter and Tankink crashed into a car during their reconaissance of the Gold Race. They said it was their own fault but luckily they are not injured.

Wouldn't be surprised if EBH does great in Amstel, he just sucks on cobbles so much he should stop focusing on them from now on.
Other than that, sick LBL lineup.
