what is the evidence of inflated persona? He's had a few tetchy in-race moments but not a huge number. To me it looks like most riders are capable of ignoring his hissy fits about not taking turns so if he doesn't ride people off his wheel he's no different to a lot of "breakaway" riders.
Don’t think he’s accepted yet that no one will ride with him, because he’s too strong.
I remember maybe Sagan saying in an interview that he had accepted that he would never be let into a breakaway and if he did, no one would help him get to the line.
