No, just me being silly.

It made me laugh anyway.
So now he can add a classics win to his rapidly expanding palmares. What a rider.

I don't actually mind that, its a bit of show boating and entertaining, I see that the same way as Cav's bunny hop. The celebration in particular that I dislike and the one I felt came across as arrogant as if to suggest that win was a walk in the park and he could in effect jog over the line was this one.
Certainly a talented guy though

Didn't he say that was a Forrest Gump impression? (I've not seen Forrest Gump so I wouldn't know for sure).

But he actually said in the post interview it was an in joke with his mates back home who dared him to do a "forrest gump" run if he won, I don't think there was any serious hint of suggestion that it was a walk over.

Cannondale even got him to do a marketing video as Forrest:

Perhaps it was a joke who knows, I most certainly do not and as previously stated in this thread I may have Sagan all wrong, even after I became aware of the Forrest gump statement it changed little for me, I think its a distasteful celebration... I just don't like it.

It probably makes him angry, very angry, and you won't like him when he's angry...

I thought it was a little strange and perhaps a little egotistical but to be honest I never thought it was disrespectful. It most certainly was not cool.
A lot of what I do not like comes from his expression, in the wheely and hulk pictures he looks like he appreciates that he raced hard against other great cyclists and achieved something. When you look at the Forrest gump, or the chicken celebration images, he just looks a bit of a smug and cocky git.
Great question though

Tweet from Cav earlier:
"Not as we hoped today in Gent-Wevelgem, but @opqscyclingteam rode hard. Struggling to think how to beat that Peter Sagan machine! Incredible". Cav

Come on, what's the difference? There's been grumbles about him disrespecting the peloton by no handies a wheelie up the Angliru etc. Bollocks, it's just a talented boy getting the zest out of life.
