If you are a sprinter you can't win too much general classification (unless if it isn't the Tour of Norway or other race like that)

Hey Peter Sagan won the Tour of California one year, and that race included 2 mountain stages and an individual time trial

You guys should cheer for Algeria btw. If they stay within Top 50, then Burkina Faso gets to go to the Olympics. 

 

So... Reguigi.

Peter Sagan isn't a pure sprinter

That’s true, but it was still unexpected and awesome

Remco Evenepoel achieved his first pro victory this week. I'm surprised that @heywoodu isn't hyperventilating yet.

I know I'm not a fan, but it's not so bad that I'm hyperventilating when he wins  

 

It's incredibly impressive though, just like his time trial a day later.

Excellent 4th place today. Making up literally 0 seconds to Zaccanti and Perry, but sure, maybe tomorrow he can have a 10km non-stop sprint and gain a minute

The Belgians are having a good week overall, Wout van Aert is riding an epic Dauphiné so far with a win, 2nd place in a time trial and immediately afterwards a second win.

 

I meant hyperventilating in terms of hyping.

Well to be fair, based on his qualities he is absolutely worthy of a huge hype
