heywoodu 13,562 Posted September 12, 2020 #451 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Sagan throwing away a relatively easy 2nd place by starting the sprint too early. At least he catches up a bit towards Bennett, although he'll probably need Bennett to keep having his medical problems - otherwise the Irishman's speed is just too much. Not exactly in the way one would hope, but at least there is some tension for the green jersey in the shadow of the GC fight If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

heywoodu 13,562 Posted September 12, 2020 #453 Share Posted September 12, 2020 So Mitchelton-Scott was still there with five guys including sprinter Mezgec, and all they did was letting Jack Bauer hit the front for a bit with 1.5km to go I mean, it's the most sensible option when both Sagan and Trentin are still in the group, but come on.

All his adolescence he was part of the Ski Jumping team, was not encouraged to cycle. After he lost his SJ World Cup place he rode as an amateur for a small team in Slovenia, then transferred into the Dutch pro scene, where he learnt his trade. It’s not like there is a kind of DDR-style talent programme going on. You obviously never heard of Milan Erzen ... Also the UCI president seems to think a bit differently ...

German commentators said that he has a role as a mentor, also he had a crash earlier this year, so he clearly isn’t at his best.

One month back I´ve never believed he is able to immediately forget his own disappointment and sacrify himself for someone else, but he is showing at this tour that he really is a true Teammate ! Respect ! Sadly all for nothing. This is the second stage where Bora went all out for Sagan and for the second time Sagan wasted his chance. I think this might be his last chance to win green and it’s not looking good. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.
