I usually sit up and watch most of what they show of the Grand Tours. If I can.

“I’m searching for another position on the bike, the saddle and handlebars are different to normal. I must sit upright as much as possible, which isn’t comfortable. I feel like a cyclo-tourist on a bike,” he said.

Watched this today on the trainer with Eurosport commentary. How amazing was it as he tried to put chain back on, then couldn't quite clip in. Brilliant.philip wrote:For those who haven't seen it, stage 7 of the Tour of Turkey:

I really wish they would show more of these races. So Perick Fredrigo (sp) was in this one and finished third. It is great to see these good riders showing how good they really are. Sometimes that gets lost when you see them in the TDF (I know Fredrigo picked up an amazing TDF stage a few years ago.)

He is something special and only 22! He can sprint like a real sprinter but can keep up on the hills.philip wrote:Sagan's kick makes everyone else look like they're not trying!

I'm looking forward to him taking on Cav at the tour, going to be interestingphilip wrote:Sagan has taken 3 of the 4 stages of tour de suisse so far. Took out the TT - he beat Cancellara (ok, he's probably still getting his form back) then takes the sprint stages - a sprinter that can TT? Crazy stuff.

i think the sprinters often do well in the short TTs/prologues, where endurance isn't as much of an issue. although sagan is more than a sprinter, so it will be interesting to see how he goes in the longer Tour TTs.philip wrote:Sagan has taken 3 of the 4 stages of tour de suisse so far.
