TNT1 Posted July 6, 2012 Share I recon this young fella can walk off with the Green Jersey, the White Jersey and a few more stage wins, not too many others have done that in their first ever tour!. Just loved his Hulk salute today, the big green guy would be proud.! Are you nuts? No way he will gain time on Tejay in the TT's or the mountains. FYI, Tejay is one of my outside bets for the GC this year. Come, Oom, you know enough not to tout this astrophysicist as a GC contender...

Come, Oom, you know enough not to tout this astrophysicist as a GC contender... My rationalization after a bottle of good red wine is that Tejay will have his work cut out for him looking after cuddles, Sagan on the other hand only needs to look after himself, which I recon should give him a bit of an upper hand.? Look, my brain is a bit fuzzy right now but I just love this youngsters spirit, I wish there were a few more of him around.

Sagan Is like a Boonen or Gilbert. Or a Museeuw if you will... No,No, not overall, but I recon he can dominate in his field and maybe wrestle away the white jersey as well. Lots of guys who have won the white jersey have never even featured on the leader board in later tours and I guess the same will happen to Sagan, but right now, he is really on the top of his game and in this tour, I think its possible?. ..........or maybe I just like his spirit.!

udxcob Posted July 7, 2012 Share The race starts in the mountains, the chaps are simply warming up. Only then will we see who are the Men and who are the Peters. Correction we will see who are the skin and bone climbers, the real men get left behind nathrix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pirate Posted July 9, 2012 Share Peter Sagan's pure talent is summed up in these next few sentences from his Mountain Bike career : Sagan drew a significant amount of attention when he appeared at the Slovak Cup with a bicycle borrowed from his sister. Sagan had mistakenly sold his own and had not received a spare from the Velosprint sponsor in time. He won the race despite riding a supermarket bike with poor brakes with limited gearing.
