Hennie VR Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I would love to see him in action for a whole season on the XCO scene
Wyatt Earp Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I would love to see him in action for a whole season on the XCO scene Me too, I reckon he won't have the cardio capacity .
Wil6 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I would love to see him in action for a whole season on the XCO scene Maybe Mtb is his true calling.
Meerkat82 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I am in love with him..... would ride for hours behind those legs... mmmmm He is a great cyclist, I think climbing is his pitfall. And will support him always. But will put my money on the skinny ones.
Wyatt Earp Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Maybe Mtb is his true calling.Those guys will eat him for breakfast .
DIPSLICK Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Those guys will eat him for breakfast .nevaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,,,,,,,,,,,,best evaaaaaaaaaaa
Hennie VR Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Those guys will eat him for breakfast . You really think so? Road riding requires a lot of endurance especially tour riding.I think he should be able to do well in XCO. Don't think the shortish climbs would hurt him as much. And I'm sure what he lacks in climbing he will be able to make up on descending and technical riding. Will he be able to win the world cup...........I don't think so but he won't do to badly. I do however think he could match the style department like Nino.

Maniax Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Is It just me or has 'Dale been MIA since Sagan moved from Cannondale?

'Dale Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Is It just me or has 'Dale been MIA since Sagan moved from Cannondale?Yeah, man...Things have changed.:-( RACING / TACTICAL SMARTNESSSagaaan is looking lean and mean and I reckon, if he improves his racing intelligence, he will get top spot at the Monuments over the next few seasons. TEAM COVER / SUPPORTHe will also have greater team support this year.Remember, road cycling is a team sport.He was exposed far too often with Cannondale.

I totally agree with you but he started out in MTB.Surely his body adapted to road cycling but it does not mean he is not able to perform well in XCO From Wikipedia: 2008 1st http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d8/MaillotMundial.PNG/20px-MaillotMundial.PNG MTB World Championships Juniors 1st http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3d/Gold_medal_blank.svg/15px-Gold_medal_blank.svg.png MTB European Championships Juniors 2nd http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/6e/Silver_medal_blank.svg/15px-Silver_medal_blank.svg.png Cyclo-cross World Championships Juniors 2nd Juniors Paris–Roubaix

rudi-h Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 don't know much about cycling do you...? Sagan isn't a pure sprinter. He never was and never will be, so thinking Sagan will win in Qatar is almost like thinking Kittel will win the Roubaix. He's a hell of a good rider and perhaps the most feared (and marked) man in most of the Classics. He will win at least 10 races and the green jersey this year, I'd put money on that!
Wyatt Earp Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 don't know much about cycling do you...? Maybe you should read what the OP said another time.I think he was referring to the sprints .Seems like he does know something about cycling .
