Mntboy Posted July 17, 2015 Share He is apparently very popular with the kids not just small fans but also the rider's children. I was listening to the podcast the other day, the stage where Cav won, his daughter was in his arms afterwards and she spotted Sagan and immediately recognized him and was apparently very excited to see him again.Yeah he certainly comes across as someone who has an easy rapport with kids. Sagan doesn't appear to be pretentious in anyway. He has a love for life that shines through in the way he does things. That's why he's so darn popular. You have to be seriously bitter not to like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(at TInkoff for TDF) Personally would absolutely love for him to move to Etixx, but sigh he has a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets lucky he might get to contest the win but I think for most of today he'll be anonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see either of them being happy to ride for the other and both will want the green jersey at Le Tour. That said I think it would be incredibly fun to have the two of them riding together in a non-racing environment. Both are great characters!

Both are great characters! if Cav wants to stay at Etixx he will have to take the salary cut, negotiations stopped before the TDF started, Cav said we'll speak after the tour. Sagan isn't a sprinter if Cav moved it would be to bring in a pure sprinter, not Sagan. BUT Why would Sagan do well at etixx, and why would i love to see him there... For the spring classics, Boonen is getting on and won't be around for too much longer, but they do have Stybar there. Patrick Lefevere has said he would love Sagan there, but he has a contract and Sagan's agent has also said is isn't leaving Tinkoff (but also don't think you can believe the agents all the time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to see Sagan as a good all rounder who has a powerful sprint. Certainly fast enough to hold his own with the pure sprinters. It would be awesome to see him working together with Zbar to win classics but the sticking point remains the green at Le Tour. Cav will want it as will Sagan. It would be hard for either to sacrifice their ambition for the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cav will want it as will Sagan. It would be hard for either to sacrifice their ambition for the other. Sagan does well against the sprinters, he does brilliantly when the run in to the finish is technical and with a couple of hills and always has an advantage from a smaller group. But I would actually love for him to be in a team that has a strong spring classic ambitions. We saw this year during the classics that Tinkoff just don't have that, he was isolated most of the time. The thing is when Sagan burst onto the scene his ability was unknown so he and a lot of riders underestimated the kid, so you saw him make a dash a bit sooner than the rest and could stay away. What has happened the last 2 seasons is they don't give him an inch. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted July 17, 2015 Share Looks like my cannondale man made it into the break. Today is a day that suits Haas. Also see Kelderman here, if today goes like the rest of his tour, he will get hit by a shimano service car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etixx really have some hard choices to make during the remainder of the year especially where it concerns team goals and who would best aid in achieving said goals.
