'Dale Posted March 26, 2012 Share About Peter Sagan: Boonen said after the race, “He’s one of the biggest talents around right now.” Nice article about the young pro here:http://velonews.competitor.com/2012/03/news/sagan-laments-marking-cancellara-looks-ahead-to-flanders_210758 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted March 26, 2012 Share Yes he did very well, went earlier with Cancellera, even did some pulls! From Cyclenews "Runner-up Sagan wasted some energy in a breakaway attempt together with Fabian Cancellara (Radioshack-Nissan-Trek) at 25km from the finish in Wevelgem but they were caught back by a large group led by the Omega Pharma-QuickStep troops" http://cdn0.media.cyclingnews.futurecdn.net//2012/03/25/2/bettiniphoto_0104537_1_full_600.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted March 26, 2012 Share He admits that those pulls and marking Cancellara took a lot of the strength he needed to eclipse Boonen. Boonen had good team support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted March 26, 2012 Share Yes Boonen was the best of the day, and a well deserved win. He seems well liked, gave a long interview in the Sporza studio afterwards. Daniel Oss was also up there, but the rest of the L-C troops don't seem to feature, or am I missing something (?) Sagan is in another class. Been up there all season so far. But at the same time still has a lot to learn it seems. Well he is only 22. Edited March 26, 2012 by kosmonooit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibs, Basso and Co are on the Canary Islands or somewhere - high-altitude training camp.Preparing for Grand Tour stuff. Sagan was team captain yesterday.Him and Oss are in charge of representing well in the one day Classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted March 26, 2012 Share Next one is Tour of Flanders - I don't think young Peter is doing the P-R this year, so we wont see him going head-to-head with the Fabian in the classic of all Classics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted March 28, 2012 Share L G team manager discloses that Sagan will not be racing to win Flanders, but to gain experience and learn. Cool! Boonen did add earlier in the week that he is not sure why "one of the big talents around" Sagan is in this team as he has no 'Classics mentor'.
