As brilliant as it was, I’m wondering if I’m missing something about Sagan’s win?
Rob Hatch was breathlessly calling it the ride of the century and Velon ‘one of the best rides ever’.
Of course he’s Sagan and has to deal with extra marking etc, but was there something in the winning move/numbers that put it ahead of some memorable classics wins? Is it because it was at a GT?
This always stands out as a benchmark on numbers: https://cyclingmagazine.ca/sections/news/kristoff-averages-insane-345-watts-for-5-hours-26-minutes-to-win-gent-wevelgem/
Apparently Sagan’s ride was 330avg for 177km. PATHETIC.
