Very true, but the nature of the pure sprinter is to stay out of the wind, and only appear in the last few kilos. Sagan is an entirely different beast, there is no way Cav could go toe to toe with him day after day and still be fresh enough to win the stage. Someone like Degenkolb would be a more obvious foil for Sagan, someone who shares a few of his attributes, or maybe Alaphillipe? The French press have been describing him as the new Sagan.
And Sagan gets into the break to pick up sprint points on Mountain stages, literally no way you'd see a pure sprinter do that, apart from maybe Greipel who seems to like it, certainly in Flanders anyway.
