Ha ha ha. Sagan sucks! He had an easy ride to the line and Gaviria LEAD HIM OUT and he couldn't come around. Washed up. Toast. No, seriously, Sagan has never been a top sprinter IMO. He is a hard man and can sprint better than any GC rider and he can hang in the hills better than any sprinter, but that's it.

Flame suit....on.

Did you check out the stage profile, especially the last 500 meters?

Yeah, he sure sucks.

I suspect a lot of us would like to "suck" like he does on a bicycle. We might have different jobs if that were the case.

The new music in the official highlights is dramatic.

What do you guys think of another early crash with skinny Sky guy? Will he lay back until the very end again?

Unless you are making a winning move, you don't stick your nose into the wind.

Holy crap. Watch the GoPro video. Froome just misses a metal pole:

Ain't that the truth. Three time world champ. Five (or is it six?) time Green jersey. Many stages. A couple monuments and a number of minor classics.

As mentioned, his suckiness is something most of us envy.

Would be cool if Movistar would work for Landa now. (assuming he's in good enough form to deserve it)
