Motors interfere too much with the race, like in the final TT in Giro... |

A slightly uphill finish today... so another stage for Sagan I'm sure.

The profile is indeed perfect for him, so if everything will come down to the sprint, i hope he will grab number four.

..Or hopefully somehow the break manages to stay away and Cooke wins

Sagan got boxed in so hard with 150m, he just dropped back and came around 2 riders, still winning with ease.

That was a great sprint from that position. But still, he beats Swift who's coming back from broken shoulder and Albasini, 'very renowned sprinter'. Not best sprinting field here.
Still, what a finish that was by him.

Element of routine to him finding his way to the plastic chair backstage...
Sagan lost a lot of speed in the last corner as he ran into the barriers/Albasini and then made up 3 bike lengths anyway in the last 150m. |

Yeah it's true. Competition at the Tour will be many levels above, but he got boxed in with 150m and lost all speed, but still managed to win easily. That's just amazing. |

Agreed on the competition but consistently getting the result in some complex finishes is still impressive. Remained calm after today's hiccup and just wound it up again - next win I'd like a combination of unclip and running into the barrier please (maybe while juggling?)

Well Swift and Albasini are no Cavendish and Goss, but that was still a very impressive win.

Wow,great win again.
The most impressive is not against who Peter wins, but in which style.He can win pretty every stage without big mountains. When he is hungry, he never has enough. That is what i like the most, in comparsion to other riders, he wants to be good in every race, not only the few.

I agree. He's the exact opposite of Andy Schleck. |

I was going to say something, but there's pretty much nothing I can say about Sagan that would add anything new to the discussion.
Heck of a job. He's in excellent form indeed.

Perhaps if they were to collide they'd cancel each other out and evaporate then we'd be saved from domination and disinterest in one fell swoop. |

Kicking twice in that distance shows some great class. Once to get up to the point and again after he came around from being boxed in.
