carbon29er Posted April 1, 2017 Share Umm I've clearly stated that Sagan needs to adapt and I've also clearly stated that Sagan isn't the only major player this season. GVA's form has been red hot since opening weekend. So when the Terpstra incident you're refering to occured it made no sense for him to completely sit up in the manner that he did. Both myself and GOG compared it to Durbridge's situation during the DDV and commended him for racing even when he could see he was going to be out played. He tried to win. Terpstra and QS did not imho. Yes Sagan is a damn strong rider and shouldn't be given easy wins but if your sole tactic as a team shouldn't be to mark one guy so badly that you allow another equally strong rider to win ahead of someone in your own super team, especially if that other strong rider happens to be the Olympic champion. Sent from my SM-J200H using TapatalkQuick Step have decided a plan for Sagan. I'm sure they'll have a different plan for GVA in the next few Classics. Your use of Durbridge at DDV as an example just proves the point I tried to make about QS and Sagan. Firstly there was no Sagan being towed to the line and secondly 2 quicksteppers were in the final break with no Orica Scott rider in the bunch behind. Then 1st Gilbert jumped and Lampaert sat on. When Durbridge and Lutsenko brought Gilbert back, Lampaert made the winning move. While Gilbert sat on. I'm pretty sure that had Sagan been in a 4 man break with 2 quicksteppers their tactics would have been similar to get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted April 1, 2017 Share "There’s a lot of good riders, it’s not just me and him in the peloton. We will have to look out for a lot of people and who are the favourites and how the race goes. It’s not just about two riders. Then, for sure, we will need a lot of luck going into Sunday." Sagan, 2016 RvV winner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
