'Dale Posted February 25, 2017 Author Posted February 25, 2017 This was the exchange between Peter Sagan and a Belgian television station before the start in Ghent. Cycling's answer to Frost/Nixon. - How is your form? - I don’t know. It depends on the results and then we will see how it is going. - Are you looking forward to the Classics? - Yes, that’s why I am here. - Do you expect a duel with Greg Van Avermaet? - I will be racing a lot of riders in the peloton, not only him.
'Dale Posted February 25, 2017 Author Posted February 25, 2017 162km remaining from 198.3km Still no flurry of attacking off the front of the peloton, but it's hardly as though the bunch has called a piano. The pace remains brisk, though not excessively so.
