And the result of Sagan starting today...

 

Reading twitter and a lot of roadies commenting (normal folk) saying that after watching the race they are definitely going to give mtbing a go.

 

Job done [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

 

 

in hindsight it is just as well Sagz did not do well...can u imagine all the roadie wannabe mtbkers thinking that it must be easy....

To be honest, I think Sagan just didn't want to be forced into doing the Veulta for Tinkoff this month. He probably feels as supported as Cav did at Sky.

I share an insignificant off-road KOM with one of your beastly lot. Do NOT bring all your friends on pimped up, white-walled, horizontally shocking creations to take it away... It is all I have in life. :( #roadrules

From Sagan's FB page.

 

This is mountain biking, technical problems can happen and stop me. I started well, but two punctures ruined my race. I think I would not be able to stay in front with the best riders today, but maybe I could get a much better position.

After the first puncture, I managed again to get to 11th place, but after the second I could not.

He was certainly enjoying himself. Glad he managed to hold onto 3rd.

Part of the skill of this discipline is knowing how to preserve your tires, they all learn the hard way. I think that what was lacking with the Pete-ou.

 

As for Marco, he always goes out up front early but it hardly ever sticks, although the puncture was a set back.

I quite enjoyed having Sagan in the mix.. Added a nice dimension to the day.. And I agree with Gen.. It did kinda go flat with his flat
