UCI Road World Champs 2016 (12-16 October)

[Long Wheel Base]

Griepel's post world's write up. I LIKE Greipel and I am truly gutted that he didn't have the chance to at least be there in the finale but that's racing hey.. it's not just the final that matters, you need to get to the final sprint.

Did you see Kristoff's report? Chalk and cheese compared to Griepel's. Just shows who has respect for his peers after turning themselves inside out for their leader and who just couldn't be bothered to say Thanks guys.

There was a big problem at team Norway.. Eddie B ended up sprinting for himself... (or so it seemed to Kristoff, I didn't really pay attention to that part of the sprint [emoji6] ) also Kristoff made the comments not long after the race..Probably still very frustrated at that point.

 

BUT that young Norwegian that did so much work.. wow.. incredible.

It was a real race, a real world championships. If it was just the circuits, it would not have split. The wind changed the race.”

“We saw the echelons forming, but we were caught in the wind. Only the strongest riders could close the gap. I saw Sagan ride 30 to 40 meters alone to get across. He was the last one to join the echelon."

 

Demare, on Sagan's 1st win of the day

Lovely read on the Sagz Baby:

 

So what’s changed for Sagan? In a word, he’s matured. He races smarter. He’s no longer trying to win on sheer force alone. He’s learned to be more patient. He’s learned to let others make the first move. He’s learned to risk losing, and he’s learned to win. With more wins comes more confidence.

Sagan’s combination of skill, natural ability, and confidence is rare. There is no start list that intimidates the Slovakian, and there are few courses where he doubts in his abilities. He’s won 89 races as a professional at the age of 26. He’s earned that confidence.

I don't think I can ever get tired of him winning. Sagan is just such an amazing racer and rider.

 

Absolute class 100%!
