Also, is Sagan always that weird in post-race interviews?
The dude is a great bike racer, but he is never going to be the poster boy these guys want him to be with that English. He could probably earn himself quite a bit more coin if he worked on that as much as he does wheelies.
Giro vs. ToC is no contest, but trying to compare a one week stage race to maybe the 2nd biggest race in the world is going to be that way. It was great to see the teams unable to reel in the kid on Stage 3, and the best sprinter and one the best all arounders in the world are in the race, so it is still fun even if it is massively lacking the depth of field in the Giro.
