The Sagan Thread

Beasty · 05-04-2013 7:51pm

OK, I think we've strayed far enough off-topic now. Sagan did wrong, he's apologised. This thread is however about him, and not about sexism in cycling, so can we please now leave further discussion of that aspect out of this thread

Thanks

Beasty

I reckon there must have been some kind of small ramp in front of the car to allow Sagan to get the back wheel onto the bonnet - that bonnet is quite high so I can't see how he'd have managed to avoid the chainrings hitting it (and him stalling) without kicking the back wheel up and I can spot no obvious sign of him kicking it up in that clip. If there was a ramp then obviously someone removed it while the person holding the camera was getting out of the car.

Maybe I'm just being cynical though, it's still an impressive demo of bike handling regardless, I just find myself wondering how much that video is an off-the-cuff demonstration of skill and how much it is planned and staged. Not that it matters of course, I just find the impromptu demos more fun to watch, they seem much more in keeping with his riding style.

Fantastic piece of skill from the video editors.

Can it not just be a bit of craic?

New livery for his TDF bike

that's pretty cool!

I did prefer the 'Tourminator' from last year though :P

They captured his eyebrows quite well. They need serious working on.

Cheesy as fook.

AstraMonti · 15-07-2013 5:04pm

Surprised noone put this up yet. Sagan doing a wheelie just before Mt Ventoux.

on_the_nickel · 15-07-2013 5:05pm

According to Richard Moore Ned Boulting on his podcast, Dave Brailsford was not impressed with him possibly endangering the bunch.

The miserable pr*ck.

That makes me love Sagan even more, I'd piss Brailsford off all the time if I could

Interesting thoughts on his cornering ability.

Big discussion on here before about that clip, did or didn't Sagan have a ramp at the front of the car?

dastardly00 · 06-03-2014 2:08pm

Looks like Sagan is going to Tinkoff-Saxo for the 2015 season!

From cyclingnews:

Peter Sagan has reached an agreement to ride for Tinkoff-Saxo in 2015, according to a report in Thursday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport. The Slovak’s contract with Cannondale expires at the end of this season, and Gazzetta reports that the deal will see Tinkoff-Saxo ride on Cannondale bikes from next season.

MPFG · 06-03-2014 2:21pm

Tinkov-Cannondale in 2015 ???

Saxobank are most likely out of cycling

That means a lot of riders will be on the market again if two teams merge

And Contador ?? He has an pesonal contract with Specialised who pay most of his wages.....IF Tinkov move to Cannondale then Contador would lose his sponsorship

With Sagan I think Tinkov will dump Contador

Maybe and allows Alonso to buy the pro tour license owned by Cannodale. Who might sign Contador with his Specialized contract.

Exactly what I think will happen.

Spot on yeah. Hopefully means Nico moves further up the food-chain

Is Nico not out of contract in 2015...............or was it a three year deal ?

Nico has a two year contract 2013-2014...so out of contract at the end of this year

Tinkov is a big fan of sprinters, having been one himself and even though he says Contador is the only one who can beat Froome I don't think he believes Froome can be beaten.....and he can't buy Froome

So my guess he will build a team that supports Sagan to win lots of stages of the Tour de France and lots of classics races .....a team more like OPQS
That means the older mountain helpers better start looking now
I am sure he would like to keep and support riders Mijka for Giro/Vuelta but as he said himself his team is in transition and IMO the emphasis on the Tour GC will go with Contador

Tinkov only likes wining ..so if he cannot win the Tour he is not interested in top 5's ....better have sprinters and classic riders who can win lots of stages and lots of other races.

How Nico & Kreuziger like that I am not sure as you need a strong team of climbers for a Grand Tour GC result

The only thing I'd disagree with it is that I don't think Tinkoff will give up on Tour glory. If he doesn't think Contador can beat Froome, he'll get someone else in; Quintana or Nibali.
