Yup, Watching 80kg Thor on his solo Alpine escape in the green jersey was great - and funny af. The peloton obviously had it in for Cav that year, and just let Thor go.
As for Sagan, sure he'll always pick up points going in breaks and on lumpier stages when the pure sprinters are nowhere, so it's hard to see him challenged any time soon.
Who knows, maybe Gaviria can at least make it a contest?

re: green jersey. This conversation seems to be always taking place as people try to find the right balance between overall rider and best sprinter. Keeping it tilted towards the former makes a much more interesting race. Remember when Thor attacked the day after Cavendish was relegated to make it clear he was the rightful jersey winner? That was awesome.
