Peter Sagan

Molested?

Podium model, knows she is there as eye candy. That pic goes round the world because he pinched her bottom and may well land her bigger assignments!

Yes, molested. She's not finger candy.

 

[Kies]

I didn't say she was, nor do I condone his actions, but in the scheme of things - a non event.

 

[LutherB]

Well she wasn't happy about it and he bought her a bunch of flowers to apologise, which she accepted. He's not history's greatest monster, just a very naughty boy.

Sagan has made mistakes but on the scheme of things i like him.

All of the popping wheelies, skidding across finish lines, wearing white cowboy hats makes us remember his name. So when he's riding for Team X which has Brand Y's bikes, we see him on those bikes and think "that's a tasty looking bike, I wouldn't mind one of those", we might not realise it but he will have impacted some of our(the public, not cyclechat) choices of bikes. All of the showmanship gets his face, and the brands, on the TV for us punters - the latter is why he is paid to ride the bike.

Frankly, I quite like him. He does stuff I could never dream of (wheelies etc), won the Green Jersey by playing the game and to top it all off he dyed his goatee and hair green for the final stage of The Tour. He's going to win everything and I don't mind watching him do so.

That works both ways. I've never considered even looking at a Trek and have tried to talk others out of it too, because of a certain rider's association with them, even before the truth came out.

Good point, I'd never buy a Trek, overpriced uninviting bikes IMO.

I know you're not asking me, but that's pretty churlish and petty, if you ask me.

Not considering how Trek treated Greg Lemond on Armstrong's say so. Those were not the actions of a principled company. If we don't vote with our cash then corporations will continue to behave without principles. It wasn't just because Armstrong was riding the bikes, the relationship was far deeper than that.

Fair enough. In that case I agree with you.

Sure was!

s***, i know what race he was in but i planned on watching it tomorrow.

Bad luck, but think that is one time when the spoiler convention doesn't apply!

I'll still watch tomorrow morning. From 25k on, golden rule.

Just watched it. Sagan impressive as ever. A handful of riders who can do that and hold off the pack.
