Dale`s avatar has one purpose only - to install fear in all the non Sagan supporters !!

Sagan hoping to recover from early crash to hold onto green. Peter Sagan (Cannondale) finished as runner-up for the second consecutive day on Monday at the Tour de France, admitting that a crash on the opening stage has taken a toll. There was some cause for celebration however, with the Slovakian taking the lead in the Points Classification. "After the crash I don't feel very good and I need to recover a little bit," he said. Still suffering from contusions, Sagan only narrowly missed out on victory on Stage 3 with a photo finish showing Simon Gerrans (Orica GreenEdge) had won. Sagan has now opened up a 17-point lead in the battle for the green jersey over Marcel Kittel (Argos-Shimano). Whether he can keep that lead all the way to Paris, Sagan remains coy, especially after his scare on Stage 1.

Yip, all the other teams sit up at attention when Mr Sagan is anywhere near them, he is definitly not going to have things easy this year !!

Like your new avatar Dale - was not sure who you were supporting

1 crash, 2 second places, 1 green jersey - and that is after 3 days - what now awaits Mr Sagan.

Well done Ted !!

IQ of 2, was it you sprouting the same *** in one of the other threads Shimano vs Sram recently. So now we face a delema: Either you are you a troll? Your IQ really is 2. You are still on that powerful prescription medication.

That was a brilliant result for the 80 k. Well done to him!!

Plus I think they are going to take the buses 1st place away from it and it will probably start with a time penalty today. Ugly rumours doing the rounds that it failed the mandatory drug test for 1st place -something in the diesel fuel.

I hope he has not lost any speed, wonder if he lost weight as he has climbing aspirations.

Agree, Sharks won . Sagan did not But could have been a lot worse - at least he is okay!!

Hell - I am looking forward to seeing some of them. Here's hoping we get to see a couple!

Go the Hulk !!

It came right a little later, for a while I was concerned why there were 9 Cofidis teams taking part

Ja, did happen last night - eventually they got it sorted out and could see there were more than two teams. I did not realise there were nine Cofidis teams in the tour this year !!

Watching the team presentation on Supersport last night they even mentioned the video of his bike parking skills on Youtube.

Armstrong not invited to ASO 100 year Tour de France function in Paris. All living finishers receive invite except Lance. So althought some of the other finishers were either bust or admitted to doping they obviously think Lance doped more, or is it because they were duped for so long ?

Stunning pics Cav !!

The new 2014 Cannondale SuperSix EVO team edition - another pic.

Big H - I like the 1000 yard stare, he can already see the finishing line - you go boy.

Ah ha - you are good - did the green bottle give it away - even then has aspirations for green !!

Good guess - but no. Anyone else?

And the Black Inc. 2014 line now includes a SuperX cross bike with hydraulic discs (top bike, middle one is a CAAD10, bottom is a SuperSix Evo). http://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/cannondale/810913d1372176850-2014-models-1013786_599249490098975_296992404_n.jpg
