TheoG Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Surprise surprise Another surprise, maybe I missed it but I didn't hear the commentator mention Sagan once, and yet there he is in fourth ...
Gen Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 If PR is going to happen what with another sort of lock down in the north of France. I am really looking forward to the 1st women's race.Looking less likely that PR will be held in April. Sucks as a cycling fan but when you look at the situation then it is understandable that as it stand they don't want to risk it. I saw a tweet that states the hospital admissions in the region is at 118%. Suppose a call will be made soon.
Gen Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Another surprise, maybe I missed it but I didn't hear the commentator mention Sagan once, and yet there he is in fourth ... Fine… let them focus on the others [emoji6] Edit Very interesting to see how his race schedule leading up to Flanders goes.. He has opted to go to Volta Catalunya which is a very difficult stage race instead of the classics leading up to Flanders. Edited March 22, 2021 by Gen TheoG 1
TheoG Posted March 22, 2021 Posted March 22, 2021 Fine… let them focus on the others [emoji6] Good to see him get back to good form again, he probably have a few more major wins in him and the sport need characters like him. I like the guy as a person and the way he race. Gen and Mntboy 2

I like the guy as a person and the way he race.Yes his form is building and as he said better than at TA but he also says there is more work to be done..needs race days as his training and season was delayed. Sagan is Sagan. Mntboy and TheoG 2

I am sure though those graphs and numbers say that MVDP is an incredibly gifted athlete. He will win a monument or two or more in his career. Fairly sure of it.

Moral of the story, don't compare ourselves to the Elite. Mntboy, Gen, Ispeed_V and 2 others 5
