Peter Sagan, next year focussing on classics?

Looking at this could it be that "The hulk " realizes a (green) jersey will be too hard (or too unsatisfactory) and that he will really push Boonen, Cancellara and Gilbert in the classics?

No reason he can't go for the classics and the green jersey. It's pretty scary to think of this guys future. I was watching a translated video of him somewhere on youtube where he was saying he doesn't even train that hard, especially compared to the likes of Basso on his team. Lets just hope stardom doesn't get the better of him

Hmmm. I recall Usain Bolt saying something similar.

Nothing to worry about here then.

Standard pyscho-warfare stuff. Plenty of the big performers say they don't train that much, all the time stacking in kms by the thousand (starting about two weeks ago) and building up into savage intervals and climbing work, plus gym sessions. Never be fooled!
The man Sagan will have, amongst others, to overcome, may well be one Mr G Thomas, a little known Welshman riding for a celestial team, who seemingly is making classics a target for 2013. Interesting times ahead!

I enjoyed his grit and passion this year,he's a rider to watch,good luck to him, he's a young man with a long career ahead we have not seen his best yet,lets hope he does concentrate on his weakness and build on them

Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later.

Is that why I have several kids!
