Jimmy_Fingers makes a fair point about Sagan and I kinda agree with him about the Slovak just being a bit of a child but it is a fact that today's Tour of Flanders unfortunately showcased cycling's complete lack of regard for female sport and women in general. Marianne Vos winning her first Flanders title should have been a big, big story yet it wasn't even on TV, then Sagan pinching the arse of a podium girl who wasn't even giving him a congratulatory peck on the cheek further showed up the archaic side of the sport.
All this detracted from a great wins from two great champions of the sport, Cancellara and Vos.
Televise womens cycling and get rid of podium girls or at least give women's winners two scantily clad male models to give them the treatment that the blokes get
