Sagan isn't a pure sprinter like Cavendish though... You can't compare them.
Ever seen Greipel or Kittel ride like that?

True, I can't quite remember what either of our points were? Cav being able to win without a train? But this wasn't a flat sprint finish. Maybe he thought he had a better chance with just him and Kennaugh at the finish or maybe he'd have been better off sitting in and saving his legs once they caught Stannard.

And Cav had the benefit of jumping on the lead out trains of other sprinter's teams when he was with Sky. Definitely showed he had the ability to win sprints without a train of his own, but didn't see him doing much of the Sagan-esque jump from a smaller group to win.
