One of the best sprints in quite a while by the way

I just immagine if Sagan would have just let say for one day a team sprint train...

Why would he need that? Freire never had a sprint train and still won a decent amount of stages  

 

Not everyone needs a sprint train, it's also possible to simply take a place in someone else's train

ya, no I´m obviously talking about creating an ideal position for the sprint. he always has to get that position alone all by himself, push himself forward, and even in the end sprinting. it is crazy that he still manages to fight for victory.

 

If he would have a team train... I do not know, I really do not know ..

Not to mention good old Robbie McEwen!

Ah I knew there was another ex-Rabobank rider who had that  

 

Logically, because Rabobank and all their successors were/are the ultimate example of having a horrible sprint train. Seriously, Sagan is way better off on his own than any LottoNL-sprinter with their train. At least Groenewegen is somewhat capable of getting a position for himself, Moreno Hofland is the worst example: if another rider says "boo" he will move and give away his place.
