Told you, Sagan and the curse of the rainbow jersey. Although today was Sagan's typical way to lose races like he usually does 

 

 

no comment ....but Peter what was this today?, seriously lost a sprint with Kwiatek?

Tomas Vaitkus is having some major success in Algeria. He actually won not only a race, but a tour

You have to understand it as a sign that I wasn't joking when I talked about the famous "curse of the rainbow jersey"

ok. maybe there a bit of true in this...but still it´s just the start of the season and 6 podiums is already fine, but not for Peter ofc, he count only the wins..

Of course his results so far are more impressive than mine

 

But the way he gave away victory again today...it happens so damn often  

Honestly I'm starting to remember him more as someone who always gives away victories, "the eternal 2nd place finisher" than the guy who wins a lot of races

Everything has been as normal. Afterall he only won 2 victories before may last year!

[heywoodu 16,035]

Nothing is normal today. Another crash with a motorbike! Antoine Demoitié (BEL) of Wanty-Groupe Gobert is today's victim in Gent-Wevelgem and according to his team he is in "extremely serious" condition in the intensive care unit. Another Belgian cyclist has even already said "RIP Antoine" on Twitter, suggesting he has died...so far his team hasn't confirmed that..
